Austin 3:!6 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Pakistani fans hail him as one of the greatest cricket talents in recent times. How he would have been per /better than Dale Steyn by now if he was not banned. How he was more talented than Akram at the same age. But lets look into some of his stats: In Australia - Avg 40.37 In New Zealand - Avg 43.71 In SriLanka - Avg 43.50 That is terrible stats for someone who has been hyped over the moon. He only had one good series in helpful conditions of England where he avg 19. So was he really a great bowler or just been hyped up?
IKnowU Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 He was barely 18 and was turning heads at every corner. He was already the sum if not more of all phasst Indian bowlers put together we have right now at that stage of his career. Could only wonder how much more he could of easily improved or if he will when he comes back.
FischerTal Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 hes better than all indian bowlers in our history barring zak and kapil
the don Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Most batsman who have faced him , rate him. most experts who have watched him, rate him His ban is about to end and you can bump this thread soon, you would be surprised to see how good he is when he is back , he has actually put on a yard of pace and is bowling express. .
Sidhoni Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 hes better than all indian bowlers in our history barring zak and kapil A fixer is a fixer. I would rather have Pisshant over this guy.
mishra Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 He was barely 18 and was turning heads at every corner.

Pakistani phast bowling phinished the day bottle caps were banned. Junaid Aamir whoever etc etc , are just ordinary bowlers.
kosingh Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 He was absolutely wonderful to watch. How I would love to have that kind of talent in India. I'll be cheering for him when he comes back
Austin 3:!6 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 Seems like people have no answer on his Ishant Sharma isque avg, so bringing the talent card :giggle:
Austin 3:!6 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 hes better than all indian bowlers in our history barring zak and kapil And you judged that based on? In terms of stats he is worse than Agarkar
kosingh Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I see Austin's point. For all the talent he has, Amir is crap compared to even Doda Ganesh.
kosingh Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 B7yDz-HQDww Holding knows nothing. Aaron could give Holding some tips about fast bowling.
jonas10 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Holding knows nothing. Aaron could give Holding some tips about fast bowling. :hysterical: What a ludicrous statement. Holding was one of the greatest WI fast bowlers of all time Aaron cant even make the crap Indian fast bowler top 5 list. Put your Paki hatred aside.
Guldozer Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 He was definitely special. With players like Salman and Asif I don't have much sympathy because they knew exactly what they were doing, especially Asif...but I agree with Holding that I think Amir was dragged into this. I have a soft corner for him and really want him to come back to International cricket. Apart from Steyn there is no other world class bowler in the world...cricket needs him. I can't imagine how he would have gone through this...he was only 18...
AmreekanDesi Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 HE was doing great but the fact here is that there have been countless Pak players over timem who had a fantastic start but then just faded away. Don't know why it is thought that he would have maintained this and gotten even better. There was also the likelihood that he would be in the wilderness by now.

Junaid Aamir whoever etc etc ' date=' are just ordinary bowlers.[/quote'] Don't tell me you are serious. Wasim and waqar were making batsmen look like fools well into the late 90s and early 2000s when it would be impossible to tamper and not get caught

Ok..let ask again slowly so that you understand :cantstop: How was he doing great when he avgs 40+ against all countries bar England in test matches? Please explain me. He had talent I agree but his performance on field is pathetic.

AmreekanDesi Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I didn't watch him bowl a whole lot but he was doing well in England and also the CT trophy match he played against us
