You cannot play both Haris Rauf and Hassan Ali in the same side

[Sherlock]

Atleast one of them takes wickets, even if he is expensive at times.

The other is Rauf and an abomination of a selection.

Not once have I seen him use his brain to bowl. Everything is easy for a batsmen.

If you have Shaheen putting pressure on the batsman you have another bowler, namely Hasan Ali and Rauf, reducing whatever pressure that has been applied and getting smashed.

You don't even have a full-time spinner to help and the rest are bits and parts bowlers, like Faheem. He's been living off of one good performance per tour and is automatically picked as an all-rounder, despite being an average to awful batsmen, and an average mid-card bowler.

There's too many things wrong with what's happening since Misbah and Waqar have come in and I'd be surprised if this tour isn't the catalyst for their inevitable sacking.

No comparison between the two. Hasan is infinitely better as a cricketer

A bit unfair on Hasan here. It's a bit mutual between Hasan-Shaheen, and vice versa is also true. Quite a few times when we see Hasan bowl well, Shaheen starts pitching it short and gives away runs.

I really love the passion and heart that Haris brings to the side, but he needs to develop more intuition for what works and what doesn't. He reminds me of Gul who (particularly in the latter part of his career) used to bowl this sporadic "short" ball that isn't really short at all and gets whacked at a boundary an over. Also, the case with Wahab and his change-ups. Keep it full, straight, and fast with just a odd change-up. Don't overcomplicate fast-bowling, don't muddle your own mind.

I'd like to see Hasnain being brought in and given the new/new-ish ball next game. He gets it to naturally shape away from the RHB, and we need to cover that angle of movement since Hasan and Shaheen predominantly get it to go the other way. Also seems to have a calm head on his shoulders.

Never mind Hassan or Haris, what is concerning more is Faheem, who cant bowl, cant bat and cant field either.

Saud Shakeel, 6 bowling option

Mohammad Hasnain isn’t good, he’ll bowl 2-3 good balls every 30 balls but, he has no control of his line and length. He’ll bowl a half volley at the 5th stump, gets hit for four, and the next ball would be the same.

Although he’s got age on his side, I don’t think he’s ready for International level.

He has hung around the squad for 3 years now and only played the odd T20 or ODI here or there and the PSL or a T20 league but because he is always in the squad, he has missed the last few domestic 4 day seasons. Tells you the complete lack of planning and purpose in Pakistan Cricket

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

No sh*t Sherlock.


Rauf shouldn't be in the side at all, he's got the bowling smarts of a schoolboy.

 

[Sherlock]

Maybe he bribed his way to the staring XI.

You could call it Rishwat if you'd like.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Time to drop Faheem.He is bits and pieces cricketer.It will is better to play a specialist bowler preferably an off spinner.We got Dhani,Arshad,Akif,Wasim jnr to chose from.Dhani and Akif very goid,the others are not bad either.Even Khurram Shazad who plays for QG is a better bowler than Faheem.His line and length is excellent and suited to English conditions.

 

[Sherlock]

Couple of users getting the wrong end of stick here.

I'm not saying Hasan is a bad player. I'm saying saying you can only have one bowler, at most, that goes for runs rather than two. And even though Hasan goes for plenty atleast he picks up wickets too.

While Rauf does anything but.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Hasan is an international cricketer while Haris isn't. The worse part is Hasnain is mirror image of Haris. I would take Junaid Khan or Rumman Raees ahead of both considering Amir doesn't backtrack on his retirement.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I think if you update the thread title so it reads you cannot play Haris Rauf in the side then it would be much more accurate.

Correct. Even if Hasan Ali wasn't in the side, Rauf should be nowhere near it.

 

[Maher96]

Haris is a t20 specialist for middle and death overs. Waqar is the biggest fool I have seen as a coach. How the hell he continues in his role is beyond me.

Faheem has been well under par, his role of bowler or batsmen he is both a club level players.

This guy is stats economy everything is non existent.

We need to to our strength play Imad Wasim and let him put dot bowl pressure.


Well to the least Amir is most likely laughing in Stiches so should be Wahab.
