Asif is just back up for Happy heart and Chachu. Based on what?? Khusdhil had a fluke cameo against Windies.. Failed vs Aus in that T20. Asif Ali is probably UAE specialist for Pak... Won them crunch games vs NZ & Afg. Link to comment
Norman Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Okayish team. People are really going overboard with their hype here. Barring the new ball spell from Afridi, there's nothing much in that unit to really give a challenge that the Indian players will worry about. Especially that bowling attack. Rauf, Shadab, Naseem are all halwa bowlers if attacked. raki05 1 Link to comment

He was bowling around 150 with fastest of 152. His pace has dropped since then though. They all may as well get smashed if we survive Afridi initially but they are not a bad T20 outfit. In ODI I'd give them no chance. Link to comment

It has vs Aus guy was bowling around 140.. 143-144 being his top speeds. He is ageing & is nearing 30 so normal he won't be as fast as he used to be. Link to comment

Quicks like Joseph & This McCoy are much quicker bowling around 148kph.... Joseph is rapid with his short balls at 90mph. Except Iyer we are handling them alright so far. Link to comment

We said the same and got hammered in the t20 world cup game, once Pakistan get some momentum they are pretty difficult to stop so if India are 19-2 even guys like rauf, Imad step up their game.

Dahani can clock around 145.....remember in t20 u have to bowl just 4 overs so u can crank it up At the end length matters, problem with these WI bowler is they ll bowl 1-2 good ones and then release pressure by bowling poor lengths. Other team bowlers wont release pressure even if they are bowling 5k slower . At the end u have to hit the Right length Link to comment

Say whatever they are a high quality attack , they are towards inexperienced side so they ll have indifferent days at the end if they bowl crap they ll be put to sword If we bat badly we ll struggle IF both perform well it ll be battle to watch Link to comment

I said the "same" before that game as well that shaheen afridi's new ball spell will pretty much decide the game in the first 4 overs. And that's exactly what happened. It is no different now. Outside of Shaheen's new ball bowling, there is no one in that Pakistan team that should worry an Indian player pre-game. Link to comment

It wasn't just Shaheen's spell that decided the match, they kept getting wickets, imad kept up the pressure, rauf was terrific in the middle and at the death, sky got out to Hassan due to the dot balls created by Imad, shadab hardly bowled a bad ball, none from pant, sky, Pandya or jadeja looked settled. express bowling 1 Link to comment

So length is not a issue with him. In T20 good players use the pace sometimes against you & on less helpful tracks it can become a disadvantage. From what I have seen Dahani ain't even remotely close to pace & hostility wise compared to Joseph who is borderline express bowler. Although he may as well trouble us but he didn't impressed me much vs WI Link to comment

Once they have clear set plan/vision they tend to bring out their best cricket. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment

Despite being 30/3 we made 152 with contributions from just Kohli and Pant. Wouldn't have happened if they "kept getting wickets". Had we got even a half decent start of 40/1 or so in the powerplay , things would have been whole lot different. So yes, It was Shaheen's double strike that won Pakistan that game. Link to comment

We got 152 not 172, we couldn't once get away or dominated a passage of play, just when pant looked good shadab got him, same with Surya getting out to Hassan, so again they all chipped in when it mattered, it's not as if the rest of the bowlers went at 10 rpo Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment

Heard misbah he suggested this move to them last yr when t20 Wc was going on in UAE that pick someone like Asif ali in subcontinent n Ahmed overseas . They did exactly that.........they are picking players on conditions . He also bowls Off spin which is a plus sinze nawaz, khusdil are SLA and Shadab leggie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mjt76_hhBU&t=8s - the i saw his innings in Aus and yes he looks very good on those wkts We are backing iyer before Australia Chacha Ifti is too old to play well against pace, he plays well against spin, might be of some value in UAE but not Australia, he is very old.
