The new Mowgli

[King Tendulkar]

So young(although doubt his offical age). But clearly young. Got pace and gets wickets. Can bat etc etc. How good can he be?

[Online]

He will break down with injuries Then he will have issues with ego which will lead to rift within his team Then he will have drug abuse issues Then he will have match fixing issues Then he will have ball tampering issues But good luck to the lad :finger:

[vvvslaxman]

Not sure if he will become as good as Irfan who even opened the Test match. But he can really be very handy like Wasim Akram.

[nballa]

as good as muralitharan, with the bat.

[jf1gp_1]

would be nice if someone who actually saw him bat could comment

He has already shown that he is better bowler & batsman than Irfan Pathan.

You gotta be kidding. Irfan Pathan opened the innings in Test and made 93 and scored 54 at Perth won man of the match in that test against Tait/ lee/ Johnson. I gave you an apt comparison. Wasim Akram.

Aamir has a good cover drive, plays good legside shots to spinners, not like Irfan with the Bat yet but better with the ball, easily.

aamer has pace, he is young and determined, pakistan players (bar akthar, afridi) dont have the rockstar attitude , that was the downfall of pathan and the lack of pace

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Irfan started so well but faded and right now as a bowler Aamer is clearly better than Irfan. He's a real talllunntt and might be eventually become a bowler who can bat, but he shouldnt even try now to develop his batting. I think he's bowling too much for 17 yr old as it is, let alone trying to bat as well. He shouldnt be playing test cricket IMHO, just play him in ODIs once he gets to 20ish intro him to tests properly.

[satishg]

Pakistan should take care of this lad. He looks like an exciting prospect for both Pakistan and world cricket but looks susceptible to injuries hence they should not over use him..all the very best for Aamer, hope he serves Pakistan cricket for a long time!

[yoda]

I like him as a bowler, quite accurate and bowls with decent pace, plus looks like he can bat too. Great find for Pak provided he keeps his head screwed and works on getting better.
