TBH that ball would have got any top order batsman out, let alone Kela Rahul :giggle:

 

It swung late at pace...very tough to handle...especially from that angle.

 

Aaron Finch got the same bowl from Shaheen in Semi Final and he couldn't do much either.

Shaheen is just insanely talented. What a bowler he is. In LOI.

So shaheen is already being held down because "cummins is better". Obviously he is, but let's also ignore that Cummins emerged in 2011, while Shaheen did so in 2018.

This is like saying Williamson is better than Babar.

 

As a young bowler in tests you need to learn the bowling culture and mentality from the seniors, but that was missing because up until the NZ tour, Shaheen, who was still finding his way in first class cricket would be the only wicket taking threat. He would look confused, bowling good spells but missing the art of taking wickets. Also, there would be no pressure from the other end after Abbas's new ball spell.

However,  his performances have picked up ever since Hasan has been brought into the side and has started taking wickets. 

This has been very clear from the 2nd test at home against South Africa where he bowled a hostile spell to win the test. He built on this with stellar performances against the Windies, Zim and Bang, which I am sure you guys dont count. 

But anyways, a month ago performances against South Africa didnt count, but now I am sure they do. Who knows, a month or so later performances against West indies might also start mattering. 

 

Regardless, Shaheen is upwardly mobile and fast transforming into a fast bowling leader. His ascent to the LQ captaincy position will help him evolve further.

With that under his belt, a match winning performance againt India, and being acclaimed as the best cricketer in the world, I see him taking a lot of wickets against Aus, because he now believes that he has become a global star, which was missing in the past. 

 

For you guys also icc awards had no meaning in past 5-6 years as most of them were won by Kohli alone and now it suddenly became best thing in the world.

Why are people fighting a lost battle, isn't it evident that the guy is a prodigy and a world class fast bowler. 

Yes he might not have performed against top teams in tests uptil now but  as Sheamus from WWE says :


Read the words that are written in his face
Oh, I believe them, I believe them
 

Ps - I know his face looks like a sofa, but that's a different topic.

Its meaning less for even icc. When simmy Singh and some other no names are leading icc mens odi team. ICC really literally made fun of icc award this year.

I can undestant your pain but believe me its not my fault that your SENA expert players were able to win 1 out of last 9 matches in SENA

Lol check his avg pakki in Sena all your chuckers and temperer combined have not performed. Your entire history of fixer and chucker couldn't win a single trophy in aus from Imraand to Afraand. Where as guy alone has won 2 series and overall test avg of 22 including 5 wkts hall in all overseas nation he played barring NZ. Now go back to your rat hole porkpassion.

Shami has a better record vs sena in odi than all bowlers. 

Yup but for last couple of years his performance has been mediocre in odis i wouldn't be surprised if his stats get damaged as against Australia that thing can be notticed in his stats

2nd Last odi Series in SENA. Took wickets against all the teams in WC19 not like your gumrah who thrives on minow bashing in odis

lol whatever the case, the current Pakistan bowlers are not fit to tie Bumrah’s shoe laces.

 

yes they have potential that’s about it.

 

as you guys found out after CT final, one swallow doesn’t make a summer. Thoda ruk jao, things will fall in place. 
 

Hassan Ali’s antics from wagah to becoming a lollipop bowler for Rohit

 

Wahab from a 5ver to scoring some quick fire 50’s for Indian team

 

Amir from CT to being reduced to a Twitter troll at best

 

aur bahut hai, thoda to dekhe hilao
