This is the guy who has theories that mountain men can bowl faster or some crap like that when asked why Pak produced faster bowlers....If Pakistanis don't believe in him as a political leader,his bar must be pretty low.

[King Tendulkar]

Well there is no doubt that was true . But as usual him and is ilk living in a time warp. This is 2017 and our pace attack is better then theirs and more strength in depth 

 

must hurt them but that's a fact now . 

 

Can an understand how devestated they are over this . It's like pak suddenly having much better batsman then us . But thankfully that is not the case and won't be the case in next 40 years min I reckon 

[urnotserious]

Even with Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Aaquib, Shoaib, Sami, Asif, Wahab and Amir they've won 1 test in Australia in the last 35 years. 

 

India have won 2 in the last 15. 

 

Home(cork/shady umpiring) track bullies anyone?

Imran Khan lives in the past. For a bigg

time political leader now and a pretty established political leader, I think he should give up talking about cricket. He has great knowledge of Test Cricket and actual cricket but the game has changed and the cricket world has moved on.

 

He is so occupied in Pakistan's political arena that he doesn't really know what he is talking about at most times. He was captian of his country who lead them to a world cup victory so I l know it hurts him to see how Pakistani bowlers have gone down hill from his era but he always needs to flow with change. Time has changed and it is fair to say, some Bangladeshi bowlers are actually better than Pakistani bowlers. India, even though not the greatest, but still the best bowling unit from subcontinent at this time.

Arrey bhai, Imran is a politician and running for the office. After another 3-0 whitewash these kind of statements are expected from politicians, PCB officials and ex-cricketers. Aakhir awaam ko bhi to khush karna hai... they can't do so on cricket field so have to manufacture such statements 

[Muloghonto]

I don't think he is too far away form the truth. IMO, Pakistan has provided more 'just effective enough in tests' type of pacers more than us in the last 15 years, in fits and spurts, with providing two amazing superstar material pacers who were tainted by corruption. We haven't really set the scene on fire either. Shami is looking good, but let him last another 4-5 years at this level or better before we start thinking of him as a very good bowler, eh ?

 

[express bowling]

In the last 10 years, both countries have by and large produced similar quality pacers in similar numbers in test matches.

[express bowling]

The main thing is....our pace attack is on the up and Pakistan's pace attack is going down.

 

As of today, both are of similar quality but , if this trend continues, we will have better pacers than them in a couple of years.

 

This trend is very important. 

 

All the decent Pakistani pacers now were developed in the last decade....I don't see a single young pacer from Pakistan, a product of the '10s decade, doing well.

[MechEng]

Imran Khan divorced cricket right after 1992 World Cup, he focused fully on politics. So any comment he makes on cricket after 1992 World Cup has some diplomatic undertone like "Sachin is not a match winner", this was said just before India toured Pakistan in 2004 for test series. This recent comment is also an indirect way of motivating Pak bowlers.

Why are Pakistanis so delusional?

And this has proved to be so right, especially in test matches.

the less better they perform, the more delusions become important.

Actually Pakistan bowlers had develop a secret trick called 'reverse swing' which has giving them wickets. Since they were getting wicket with it there was lot of incentive to bowl fast. They are always looking to manipulate the ball throughout there history of playing cricket eg Afridi biting the ball, Imran talking about bottle caps to pick seam, Waquar Younis fined 50% of match fee for ball tampering, Shoaib Aktar banned for 2 ODI's against New Zealand, the entire Pakistan Team penalized a full test match for ball tampering by Darell Hair etc.

 

I am not saying other bowlers dont cheat but its on individual basis, but for Pakistan the entire team is actively involved in it. However, now the cameras have become strong and they can no longer get away with without getting noticed. Hence there poor test match ranking of 6. Its the greatest myth that they had exceptional fast bowlers except for Wasim Akram who was genuine quality. All there other bowlers were just cheating on relying on reverse swing when the world was not aware of it. Guys like Aaqib Javed and even Imran Khan were just regular bowlers.

If pace was the only criteria for quality bowlers then Brett Lee and Shaun Tait would be the best as they bowled sustained pace. Pace bowlers are decimated by quality batsmen. Its the pace with swing which makes a bowler deadly. 

 

So the conclusion is that Pakistani bowlers got exception swing by cheating or using reverse swing and this made them put more effort in their bowling resulting in more pace. Had it been not for cheating or reverse swing they would just be regular bowlers.

Is that why Wasim has highest % of lower order wickets in history of cricket? 40%? And his wickets per inning was also not very higher like Imran or Waqar. So basically he picked less wickets with new ball and was biggest beneficiary of reverse swing.

 

Waqar and Imran both were better bowlers (or at least more effective) than Wasim without reverse swing.

padosis produced better bowlers ..

we produced better batsmen ..

padosi fielding -   

 

currently we have better bowlers than them but it doesn't change the fact that padosis produced better bowlers ( with or without ball tampering )

Imran was a trundler. Wasim was a thinking bowler and Waqar was decent. These cameras and extra scrutiny has really messed them up. India never lost its batting culture and keeps on producing batsman. How did Pakistan lose its bowling culture overnight? They did not, only problem is they cannot cheat. last decade or so their wins were once again result of cheating but that was their bent elbow off spinner.

No they do not. Look at last 10 years and take that 30 degree off spinner out and they are a mess.
