Gollum Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Getting wrecked by one and all, what a lousy bunch of spinners they have !!!! Say hello to daddy... Suhaan, Stan AF, sandeep and 5 others 8 Link to comment
sandeep Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Young Shadab isn't bad. But he's really at risk of going the Piyush Chawla route. Good thing for him is that he can actually bat decent as well. Challenge for Pakistan is to develop young players like him to the next level. And the harsh reality is that they aren't playing enough long form FC cricket for that to happen. Add to that, some crappy dentist infected him with hepatitis, and he's probably missing the WC unless he gets lucky. But you definitely hit a major point - Chuckmal - gone. Chuckfeez is still around, but you know he reverts to his true colors the second he gets slapped around a bit, which is pretty much right away against half-decent batsmen.

I see Shadab more as a useful LOI AR, someone like our Bhuvi but he also adds utility in the fielding department for his side. His bowling isn't good enough to be frontline material...his stats may look good now but once that googly is deciphered he will need to adapt really fast or suffer.

Not just that, their next batch supply of spinners got hit. Their domestic system was overrun by chuckers (from the words of their own domestic batsmen who suffered unjustly) and because of undue advantage they were topping the bowling charts, also disproportionately high number of offies/SLAs in their system who till 2015 could get extra benefit. After the clampdown it has become difficult for PCB to induct them in the national set up and hence having to do with mediocre spin bowling ARs or in the current series a complete misfit like Yasir Shah. Basically most of their domestic spin aces have been rendered useless now as it is never easy to remodel the action and continue to get similar success. The chucking clampdown must have hit them much harder than previously thought because they may have to skip an entire generation. Edited May 12, 2019 by Gollum Link to comment

chewy Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Hafeez still there, will probably sit out the whole ODI series, then miraculously appear in chucking in WC. Hope ICC remains vigilante sergio04 1 Link to comment

This, everyone knows he does, and gets away with in-game. I am.always suspicious once proven bowlers chucked, and they re-model their action, it's impossible to judge during midover when they revert to chucking when being smacked around Once proven to chuck, a bowler should be banned, it's impossible for umpire to make decision in game, maybe third umpire.needs to be more vigilante Link to comment
