Yes posted about how shaheen/Naseem are similar pace bowlers to Abbas in tests. And both of them are not supper accurate.

  

Raza is new, he would have tried a bit and with extra pace and if he was able to perform , he could be looked as a Odi-wc bowler too

 

I don't know the quality of Pakistan first class system. Seems like he has played 6 games 32 wickets with a 10 wicket haul in a final. THey don't seem to play Unofficial A test matches. So they gotta take a punt.

That is dumbest thing I’ve heard lol. They are clearly better than these Abbas and Shahzad 

 

Maybe they have given up on Test cricket 

How on earth is a 35+ averaging Naseem better than Abbas who averages 22 after 31 matches?

 

I can see dumb Pakistanis falling for the fake naseem hype but alwasy sad when a fellow indian hypes up that age faking trundler

 

And rauf cannot bowl more than 4 bowlers, cannot even compelte an ODI

Abbas is 40 yo bro. Hes overhill now. Those numbers are mostly 5 yrs old when he was at his peak

 

Naseem has more upside specifially in these conditions.

naseem bowls at similar pace to abbas in test with no-where near the control over line and length.

 

And naseem struggle to complete 4 overs in t20s due to fitness issues.

 

only seem Ind batters struggle vs naseem. even then he is nt able to materialize that in to wkts

Pakistan cricketers look weak. It's almost like they do no resistance training at all and no diet planning as well

even in hockey the indian guys looked so buff

He is dude lol  Just search for greatest outswing bowlers of all time. NO list will miss his name.

I have watched him bowl and I've seen the data of how he's bowled.  It's mostly seam movement for the latter half of his career

Nope, Abbas has similar numbers every series he plays. His performance has never gone down. 

 

And again, naseem too has the same average everywhere, he averages 68 in Australia, 69 in england and 73 in NZ. What upside are you talking about?

 

His real age is closer to 28, 29 too and he has been playing international cricket for over 7 years now, with no improvement

Cricketers in Pakistan and their actual ages are well known scam. 

 

Someone says is 20, add another 4-7 years to that. 

[bsriharsha]

This is why Pakistanis look like world beaters at the u19 level. They routinely play 23-25 years cricketers there. 

 

Gives rise to the whole Pakistan got talunt perspective scam.

THey are not actually in the last 6 times or so. Bangladesh is better at U19 level than Pakistan. India is the best in the last few years.

So they are **** despite age fudging.
