express bowling Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) 7 hours ago, Ankit_sharma03 said: SA pacers weren't bowling at an average speed of 145 k. Their average speeds were more in the 137 k to 140 k mark, leaving Philander who must have averaged in the high 120s. Both Rabada and Olivier bowled lots of deliveries in the 132 k to 137 k range. But they bowled 137 k to 147 k spells in this series too. Only Steyn was almost always 137 k to 145 k zone with a fastest of 148 k.

Nikhil_cric Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 They are a skilled, accurate attack but very low on pace. Barely fast medium especially without Hassan. The lack of pace has allowed Amla,Faf,QDK to score runs and none of them had done anything substantial for over a year. Simply weren't hustled for pace enough. Link to comment
chewy Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 No surprises, that's why they have lost like 10 tests matches in a row in SA, Aus and NZ. Last guy with genuine pace (able to bowl 140 kph) was Wahab Riaz but he was a scattergun. Too many of their players are weak or skinny. Abbas looks like a teletubbies. G_B_ 1 Link to comment

Hisham Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 What's surprising is that Amir is capable of bowling at 90 MPH but in tests he just doesn't try to bowl fast. They do have bowlers who can bowl fast but do they have the skills that Abbas possesses?? Link to comment
Clarke Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hehe, their PM is a former phassht legend, all rounder & WC winning captain while their current captain complains about lack of pace after losing one series after another, "home" or away Link to comment

Pakistan was never a pace factory. Those were myths generated before Internet. I have seen Pakistan legen bowl and there was no pace. I still have a open challenge for my Pakistani brothers if they can show me one single evidence of the two W's having bowled three balls in excess of 90 mph in one over. None. Link to comment

Their bowling is quite good. And their batting just saved a difficult test match in the UAE in the earlier series. 39 minutes ago, Khota said: I still have a open challenge for my Pakistani brothers if they can show me one single evidence of the two W's having bowled three balls in excess of 90 mph in one over.

There is video of Waqar bowling 150 kph. 3 balls of 90+ should not be difficult. Link to comment

Yes,maybe it has to do something with fitness or maybe he is deliberately bowling a bit slow in tests as he plays all 3 formats and is interested in prolonging his career and stay injury free. They have some good U19 bowlers coming up.There maybe a lot of talk regarding Mavi and Nagarkotti but if you look at their U19 bowlers you would realise that they certainly are good.Saw Musa who bowled consistently over 140 and touched 147 in U19 WC.They have 3 to 4 genuine fast bowlers coming through.
