Bigg Brother Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 A nine-wicket haul would have left any other youngster thrilled, but for Musheer it was just another day in the office. "I am happy. I just focus on bowling good line and length," said Musheer. On Saturday, nine-year-old wonderkid Musheer Khan stepped out of his Kurla home with a simple goal: play well. The little boy did just that. In fact, he came tantalisingly close to achieving a Perfect 10. http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report-aged-9-musheer-khan-takes-99-2088615
Bigg Brother Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 He is Sarfaraz khan's younger brother.!!!
mishra Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Good on him. But still too early, probably a beginning. Kohli started academy cricket at 9. A lot of Hardwork and dedication is needed.
beetle Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Don't eat as much as your brother.....okay little boy wonder.

Bigg Brother Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 ^ Were these wickets in U14 league ? Yes,it was in U-14 summer vacation camp of MCA.
sensible-indian Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Musheer had made into U-14 Mumbai school team when he was 6 yrs 9 months old.. Wow. Sick stuff.
Bigg Brother Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 I have seen a video of Musheer featuring with his father.. His father said that Musheer did't know what he was playing(cricket) and what he was doing(Bowling) when he started it.. He just started playing it because of his elder brother Sarfaraz...
SLICKR392 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Way, way too early, but imagine these Khan bros wrecking havoc in International cricket. :aha:
Gollum Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 From my personal experience spinners shouldn't start at such an early age. Age of 10/11 is perfect for them to begin spin bowling.
Old guy Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 From my personal experience spinners shouldn't start at such an early age. Age of 10/11 is perfect for them to begin spin bowling. can you expand on that ?
Gollum Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 can you expand on that ? I don't have my own theory or scientific explanation. This is what my late coach said many years back . I joined cricket coaching when I was 6, by the age of 8-9 I wanted to be a spinner but that coach forbade me to do so. He said the perfect age to start the art was 10-11. He said that very young children have very soft and tender muscles/tissues in their palms and wrists(don't know the intricacies of muscle groups etc). Spin bowling involves an extremely speedy extension/contraction of these groups(local stresses are much more than even what fast bowlers encounter especially if you give many revs) and when done repetitively can curtail growth development of those groups. And during the subsequent growth spurts(age 10-15/16) because of the reason that their bowling palms/wrists and rest of the body have developed differently they lose co ordination and start losing control over the release and hence loop/revs/line/length all get affected. Also injuries if any picked up at a tender age tend to become chronic and a life long headache. I, just like other kids in the academy started bowling spin when I entered 4th standard. Musheer BTW must have started spin bowling at the age of 3/4!!!
HippoSucks Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Musheer BTW started spin bowling at the age of 3/4!!! I'm not sure how that works...
