JaFanatic Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 He and Asif both underperformed and fixed matches against NZ and Australia. The Sydney test in particular was an absolute embarrassment. :hysterical:
Chalks Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 He didn't even play in Sydney test - the attack for that match was Asif, Gul, the great Malcolm Sami, and Canary Danish.
Temujin Khaghan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 he is a very good talent, but very pakistani in his mentality meaning that he is very easily prone to cheating and crime.
mishra Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 If Amir and Asif weren't banned you wouldn't be saying this. Infact it's not just Pakistan the quality of bowlers compared to the 90s is very low anyway. :cantstop: Now Aamir and Aasif both are talented. Age excuse for Asif doesnt stand a chance as he must have been 28 years old when he was banned. Accept it. Decline in Pakistani bowling department has been astronomical. They have lost pace, Lost swing, lost accuracy. while rest of world blames IPL for their bowlers bein lazy, Pakistanis arent allowed to play IPL. So no excuses there
CoverDrive Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Asif is one of my favorite bowler. love his control over the ball
the don Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 All international batsmen who faced him rate him . All international pundits who saw him rate him Delivers a wicket maiden in the opening over to the batsman of the tournament in the T20 worldcup final. bowls a 5 wicket maiden in the last over of an innings. picks up two five wicket hauls in the second innings against australia and england at 145 kph plus to win Pakistan two test matches . pick up 6 top order wickets against england in the opening spell of the test prior to being banned by swinging the new bowl around corners. forget the wickets , his spell of reverse swing against newzealand was the most jaw dropping spell of bowling you would ever see . Those who don't rate him won't have to wait long b4 he is back playing , is he a spot fixer ?? , yes . is he a once in a generation talent ?? , yes .

Back in the 90s there were countless number of world class bowlers...the only bowler even comparable today is Steyn. And when you have Wasim and Waqar as your bowlers then all you can see is decline. It's not that easy to match them. It would take years to find another bowler like them, and Pakistan did, only for them to be stupid. But these days I'm excited to see Ehsan Adil...who is an Asif-esque bowlers but we can only hope that he is as good.
CSK Fan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Bah, lots of youngsters had amazing starts and then faded away. So verdict is still out
CSK Fan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I don't want him back because if he bowls a no ball again' date=' it won't be a pleasant sight to watch.[/quote'] I think it will be fun to watch. Very fun
Gaban Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Dodgy character, one I don't feel who's reformed at all, but only the blind would question his talent. He looked an absolute natural with late swing. Combine that with pace and left armer's angle, he was only going to get deadly if not for his greed. He still can.

So no excuses there If not for ball tampering and cheating their bowlers would never be as good as their stats. What more evidence you want than Afridi biting the ball in front of whole and acting as if nothing happened.They are better than Indian bowlers but not great as their stats indicate.
Austin 3:!6 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Bah' date=' lots of youngsters had amazing starts and then faded away. So verdict is still out[/quote'] But he didn't had amazing start either
Kalia_Test Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 You're a funny guy :haha: By the way please do show those videos of Praveen Kumar and Bhuvi. I wonder where I was when they were bowling those magical spells. Go to www.youtube.com and if it is still banned in Pakistan :haha: , use some proxy. On top there will be a search field. Type the bowler's names and you can see. Thank me later.
Zero_Unit Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Holding knows nothing. Aaron could give Holding some tips about fast bowling. such ludicrous :hysterical: How does one even come up with these sort of RETARDED statements?
JaFanatic Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 such ludicrous :hysterical: How does one even come up with these sort of RETARDED statements? Do you really think he was serious :blink:
Guldozer Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Go to www.youtube.com and if it is still banned in Pakistan :haha: , use some proxy. On top there will be a search field. Type the bowler's names and you can see. Thank me later. No. I want you to find them. Find some where they are bowling on the level of Amir and Asif. The only time Bhuvneshwar looked impressive was his debut, and that's it.

The only time Bhuvneshwar looked impressive was his debut, and that's it. I don't believe in giving a hungry man a fish. I teach him how to fish so that he does not depend on me for fish everyday.
Vijy Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Amir and Asif were far superior to these trundlers of ours. If they hadn't been nasty fixers, they could have become one of the best opening pairs in the world - on par with Steyn-Morkel and better than Southee-Boult.
