FischerTal Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 looks in good knick. i don't think any of the current crop of bowlers has a wrist position as good as his. this is his first match since return from his ban so pretty decent figures too
G_B_ Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 @TAL agree. I think its just a case of him building his fitness by bowling a lot for a year or so. Pakistan need to start him off slowly. first t20 when odis and then tests.
ravishingravi Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Just watching some of his past videos. He might be the most talented bowler ever. And I really mean ever. Pace. Swing. Accuracy. Reverse swing. Wrist Position. Just awe of what has been lost.
ravishingravi Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 It will be a very difficult road back.Make no mistake about it. Next time it goes for review and they check his no ball, imagine the crowd response. Imagine the kind of sledge he will cop from other players. I really doubt whether we understand the full implication of it. This is first time in history of any game where a player has been banned for fixing and bought back.
CSK Fan Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 The video is not of his domestic performance. I feel cheated.
Austin 3:!6 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Missed 2 World Cups. Top bowler no doubt but to say he is the most talented bowler ever is a stretch. Amir, Junaid, Wahab - Good bowling line up.
BlueBee Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Wow! What a waste of 5 years for lil money. He could have been an ATG by now.

Austin 3:!6 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I haven't seen a 18 year old who is this good. Suggest me possible candidates He was defintely damn good and if he continued to play might have been an ATG by now. In terms of potential he was really good. But if you look into his avg, he only had a good series in England. Struggled big time in Aust & NZ where he avgs more than 30+ and also against SL in SL. Again not saying he was not good. He was a fantastic bowler but definitely not the best ever.
Guldozer Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Really pleased to see people here support him. :two_thumbs_up: This has to be my best memory of Amir: 2UTrQd-ouBI Could have already been nearing 200 Test wickets, if not more.
Marut Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Had potential but he did well only in the friendly English summer before the ban. He could turn out to be another Anderson like bowler. ATG tags on him at this time are just over the top.
Dhishkiyaon Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 He was taking 5fers at the age of 17, at this age I didn't even know how to grip a ball properly and land it on the seam.
zen Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 A brilliant bowler from what little I have seen of him In 4-5 years, he probably missed 40 tests, so could have picked over 200 test wkts by now. Anyways, he has time on his side :nice: .... many bowlers make debut at 24-25. He should try to make the most of this opportunity
Guldozer Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 He was taking 5fers at the age of 17' date=' at this age I didn't even know how to grip a ball properly and land it on the seam.[/quote'] Wahab Riaz was still bowling at 110kph and look where he is now. :haha:
sensible-indian Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 He looks like a special bowler to me. ATG material (whether he will achieve it or not I dunno but he looks the part). I was simply blown away by this: Rm27IMolf-c mPNIc4tqt6E
Autonomous Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 He looks like a special bowler to me. ATG material (whether he will achieve it or not I dunno but he looks the part). I was simply blown away by this: Rm27IMolf-c mPNIc4tqt6E Everything about his bowling was so good. Was a complete bowler, Conventional Swing, Good Pace, Accuracy and Decent in last overs (5 Wickets in an over against Aus), Also an absolutely beautiful wrist position and superb action. And I loved following him the way he bowled particularly in overseas tours, However few other bowlers are also coming up and there will be competition for sure in fast bowling department, As a Pakistani, I dont know why, But just dont want to be a batsman, Most of us who like the game with passion like to become a Faster Bowler, I myself years back wanted to be a bowler, Also the gully cricket concept, Tape ball has mostly lead to development of more faster bowlers, Due to lack of pro academies there is little scope for batting and batting technique. There is a swagger in being a fast bowler, You can boss the batsman if you're able to regardless of who you're bowling too.
