Jayaram_IND Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 DmBGhZpbXBg You mean the ball that jaggs back of the seam.He bowled one of them to Sachin in the previous test so whats new in that?
Jayaram_IND Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 He is talking about the 'wobbly seam' one which can go either way supposedly. Asif is/was tremendous bowler. Shame. Oh ok got it.James anderson is a real Student of the game always trying to learn from others like Zaheer Asif etc,
Ultimate_Game Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 DmBGhZpbXBg That's a regular off-cutter. Just like a leg-cutter where the batsman thinks the ball is heading towards middle and leg and then jags towards the off stump.
Gotham Cronie Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Some Pakistani fans feel that his ban is good for Pakistan as well as world cricket. He doesn't deserve to play cricket anymore. I agree but that doesn't mean he wasn't a great bowler.
Ultimate_Game Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I agree but that doesn't mean he wasn't a great bowler. Not a great but a good one. You have to achieve a lot before you can be termed a "great"
Trichromatic Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I agree but that doesn't mean he wasn't a great bowler. Great bowler on the basis of 20 matches? Don't degrade the word great. Wasim, Waqar and Imran did a lot for their team to achieve it.
Pagalpanti Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Asif was excellent with that delivery, I can remember only the likes of Waqar who would get a banana swing like that. Irfan early on used to swing it away nicely too. PK does it but is way too slow.

Ultimate_Game Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Nah I'm referring to this ifaaubN92S8 Waqar and Wasim were swing bowlers whereas Asif was more of a seam bowler. Not much common between them.

Don't degrade the word great. Wasim, Waqar and Imran did a lot for their team to achieve it. I'm not calling him a legend or putting him in the class as those 3. Umar Gul is a good bowler. Mohammad Asif was a great one.
Ultimate_Game Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I'm not calling him a legend or putting him in the class as those 3. Umar Gul is a good bowler. Mohammad Asif was a great one. Not really... Asif is a good bowler whereas Gul is average. Gul maybe a good or even a great T20 bowler but at Test level Gul is pretty average.
Lord Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 hopefully thats the only thing that he wants to learn frm Assif
darkknight Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I would say Asif was probably the most skillful bowler in the world however he has thrown it all away like many Pakistani cricketers for a bit of cash. I think Mohd Aamir is most skilled bowler at the moment. He's is just too good, hope he retains the skill when he comes back.
