Ashwin, Adam Zampa, Adil Rasheed, guess what all the good sides in the world have. Specialist spinners who give them wicket in the middle overs. We had Ajmal, Yasir shah's importance will only be clear when he starts performing.
I know, combo can easily be improved. Now we are missing Afridi, like it or not.
How can you jump to such a conclusion, he is the best bowler in Test match Cricket that too on dead wickets. He is far ahead of his competition. He should be given the confidence and a proper chance.
If he can do it in test, he can do it better in limited overs Cricket, even the commentators were surprised with his exclusion.
You have to keep in mind that Yasir only bowled good in first test match. so we should not take chance we already lost a game.
New Recruit
He bowled well in the last Match too, he was never used properly. We never attacked with him.
Dear test match offers a deteriorating pitch, ODIs are played on belters these days! Plus i am not jumping to any conclusion just talking about the stats and figures at hand! He have been a disappointment in one days sir. He took some 18 wickets in 15 matches and 6 of them came in one match. Take that one good day out and it means 12 wickets in 14 matches. We do need a good spinner, i agree but i feel that until we find an excellent one for ODI we should stick with a batting all rounder as the batting is letting us down.
Arey bhai, we need a replacement of Saeed Ajmal. And the replacment isn't going to fall from the sky, now is he? Sometimes you need to make a bowler, sometimes a bowler takes time to develop his skills and play all formats and ball accordingly too. Take Woakes, his record was absolutely crap before this summer and see how he has turned it around. We can't make an impact spinner from bits and pieces. Imad and Nawaz will not run through batting orders like Ajmal and Afridi. Do you remember how they used to contain runs in the middle phase of the innings?
Umer Akmal could have replaced Afridi. Guy is too much into Girls and glamour and shit....
Bro surely Ajmal or Yasir didnt fell from sky either!! However trust me, you do not need to look toooooo far to search for a decent spinner! We have them by the lot, we even exported a few to Aus, SA and England
So do not worry. Till then we can do with one or two quality all rounder who can bowl spin. Afridi is missed as expected, even we miss the bowling of Hafeez!! Consider that if Malik and Hafeez were both allowed to bowl and were batting fine would we even consider adding an extra spinner? Nahi na? So that is all i am saying that we should keep looking for a good quality all rounder. Chlo i will add that we should try looking for a good spinner as well and which ever comes first. CHLOO i will even say that we can try and put Yasir somewhere in there at cost of an already 5hitty looking batting order but still!! I hope he will play in the next match and we can then see the results? Do not worry i wont mind even if he is wicket less but sure he needs to look like a threat! THis we can agree on!
Our cricket team's ziba..... never mind
I don't mind Hafeez in the team if he starts bowling. He is much better than Imad and company as he took wickets regularly and was brilliant at containing the batsmen.Bro surely Ajmal or Yasir didnt fell from sky either!! However trust me, you do not need to look toooooo far to search for a decent spinner! We have them by the lot, we even exported a few to Aus, SA and England
Especially left handers!!
He'll be back, his action is not that big of a worry. He isn't interested in bowling again, i guess.
