Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka (Tests) 2023


Recommended Posts

Sad to see Sri Lanka falling off as well in Test cricket. They were decent until 2019-20 when they won in South Africa but it all went downhill after that. 

 

Last time they won a home series at home against a decent side was against South Africa in 2018. 5 years, 8 series and zero series wins...

In the system since 2017?

Dude came around late 2019 and debuted in 2020. He may have age fudged by 2,3 years but it doesnt make him as old as you think. Stop exaggerating to support your narrative. 

Yes his action is not alligned perfectly so niggles and aches will be there, but inspite of that he is fairly durable, much more than what I expected.

 

And judging by his pychological profile, I dont think he will pick formats. These pathan bowlers dont seem to have such tendencies especially given all of them look up to Shaheen who gives great importance to test cricket and is concerned about his legacy. 

Yes, had they been playing with Amir, Wahab as lead pacers then yes, but Shaheen actually looks up to Imran as his role model cricketer, so the mindset/culture set by him is a lot different. 

You really need to stop putting words in others' mouths. This was not a dig at his fake age. Everyone knows he's 23. He has been playing age-group cricket since the 2016/17 season. He was playing Patron's grade II Trophy in early 2017 and that wasn't even an age group tournament.

 

My only point was that, regardless of his age, it was surprising that despite a relatively light workload he seems pretty niggle-prone and as you have yourself said, he doesn't feel comfortable bowling with any other action so if he doesn't prioritise his formats, he will risk becoming mediocre all around. 

 

If he doesn't do it, someone at the PCB needs to advise him to do so.

Mediocre? He is easily the best young fast bowler in the world in the last year snd half. That complete skillset is unmatched.

Naseem Shah is the best young fast bowler in the world. Easily.

This type of empty statements is what makes Pak posters laughable. Naseem Shah avgs 68 in Aust, 69 in Eng, 73 in NZ and a career test avg of 37 so far. And he is the best fast bowler in the world and that too EASILY? Lol

 

For delusional Pak fans like you, Mamoon is the perfect foe for showing the mirror :nice:

It got so boring that India has stopped touring Sl since 2017. 

 

People in India were tired of India beating up SL.

 

Pakistani posters need to understand , India will be whopping their behind both in Pakistan and India.

 

These Noman Alis would be cake walk for guy like Rohit Sharma who would feasting them for three meals.
