First class Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Babar played a match winning today, but 19 year old tall fast bowler Afridi played an equally important part in today's victory over Kiwis. He broke the back of Kiwi batting with 3-12 in 8 overs at one stage. His last two overs cost him some runs , still very impressive match figure of 10-3-28-3. Just last year he was playing under 19 WC and now improving with every game . Certainly one to watch for as a potential future star. r Edited June 26, 2019 by First class spellings Link to comment
Iconoclast Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Got his length right today was bowling too short for these pitches previously. Next needs to work on his wrist position to generate swing. Link to comment
Asim Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 tips from Akram, his quick learning and adjustments according to conditions (which he was supposed to do vs Aus as well) helped him... Link to comment
Bhaiyya Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Nothing but glimpses of pitched brilliance. As long he doesn't correct his action right from arching his ball to releasing, he will be tonked in other matches Edited June 27, 2019 by Bhaiyya Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 He is 19 long way to go. It’s sad one performance kid is glorified other day he was criticized as hell. Give him few years. Link to comment
Pandya_Power Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hope he plays against India, if Pak qualifies. He has to experience what legends like Wasim, Waqar and Shoaib experienced when facing upto the famed Indian batting line-up in a WC - fear! Stan AF, Norman and bahubali 2 1 Link to comment

Sean Bradley Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 He can be pakistans version of Mustafizur, both are similarly built and has similar actions, but having said that mustafizur is a foxy bowler, SSA is still young and needs further development. Link to comment

Similarly built? One is 5-9 and other 6-5 , eight inches taller . Link to comment

Mustafizur Rahman is not 5.9" he's 5.11", both are lanky with slingy action, he would do good for himself if he can be as good as Fiz. Link to comment

Rightarmfast Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 He is inconsistent. needs to give such performance on a regular basis. Having said that, he is definitely a talent. I'd say, he can take Amir's position in the future. His pace is up and down. fast mediumish. Link to comment

Afridi should aim high, not another Fiz like bowler , which are many around. Also physically he is not just taller but stronger and pacier also. One is a Pathan and other a Bengali. Link to comment
