[Bouncer]

Just saw an Add on TV in whcih shoaib appeared and it was about a Fast bowling hunt competition(Mar 5th to Mar 12) in four cities of Pak, the chosen bowlers will send to Aus for furthar training.

 

[ajaagarkarajaaja]

[Bouncer]

Nadar Zeeshan: 85.31MPH

Saad Altaaf : 81 MPH

[masterblaster]

You guys have got enough fast bowlers as it is!

oh and by the way I hate your avatar as well!

:!( :!( :P :P

 

[Craig]

This proves to me some where in Pakistan that there is a conveyor belt producing fast bowlers in Pakistan.

 

[Muddaser]

those results are from karachi which isnt known to produce express bowlers apart from sami.

wait till the results from the punjab province appear.

:O

 

[thehellraiser]

yeah .....punjab generally produces express pacers

 

[ReallyCrazy]

ok hehe im just wondering again...is that shoaib to dravid?

 

[ajaagarkarajaaja]

When will Pakistanis learn that speed is NOTHING without accuracy!! Whats the use of a missile that misses its target?? Nothing , right?

We have seen Sami, he bowls fast and almost always is erratic, batsmen punishes him without mercy yet he shamelessly returns to get more punishment. Now if all those pacers whome you are claiming bowl so fats are also accurate, then why aren't they in the team in place of Sami???


Pak need some quality pacers that can bow at good pace without losing accuracy and can also swing the bowl.In India we have Zaheer Khan, Ajit and Pathan that are doing a wonderful job.If Pak need to match India, they need to improve their domestic competition.

 

[ReallyCrazy]

ajaagarajaja (or whatever), zaheer is good. but ajit agarkar is a crappy bowler and pathan hasn't played that much and in the VB series, he no doubt was aggressive and got the ball to swing but he was taken apart.

. If Indian pace bowling is that good why don't we win much AA especially considering that we have the best batting lineup according to you? All those bowlers are very inconsistent . Pathan hasn't conceded less that 5 rpo against Aus in a single match . Check out AA's performance in VB series. Zaheer was good before and during WC but hasn't much after that and is always struggling with an injury.

First India went to hunt for Indian version of waseem and Waqar in India, and now Pakistan is hunting for fast bowlers, i wonder why don't they pay attention to declining standard of spinners in sub-continent?

Its just my opinion that Indian batting lineup is best in the world, most people do acknowledge that.Austrlalians though are just behind India in batting department.

Ajit alone cannot do everything for India, Ajit afred well in the test series but in the VB series he wasn't alone that came up with poor display, the whole team played poorly and tere were several factors for it.

AS you have acknowledge that Khan was good during and before the WC, then do you actually think he's fading at such a young age?? He was only struggling with injuries as has been the case with every second pacer today (Akhter,Lee,Jason,McGrath, Nehra...the list goes on).

Pathan went to Australia as a cub but turned into a tiger during the series in such a short period.Frankly noone expected so much from him.

Mate, what India achieved in Australia , others can only dream of.

With Zaheer i doubt he can keep the same momentum like Nehra. AA will never be consistent. One good performance followed by three mediocre ones. Pathan i think has the talent but it will be interesting to see how he will develop.

Indian performance was good in Aus but in the end what matters are results and they didn't go with India. They need to play with the same momentum in Pak too which will give them series victory but i doubt they will. Even after the Ind-Aus series in 2001 everyone said India is going to do well now but sadly the same thing continued.

true that...infact i would say there is really a dearth of quality spin bowlers overall. Murali is the only bowler from subcontinent, and Warne the other best in world not from subcontinent. Every other bowler is just little above average (harbhajan, saqlain, vettori etc).

 

[Muddaser]

if you saw PAK under 19 team you'll realise it was the spinners and not the pacers who were quality bowlers.

 

[marc71178]

Under 19 Cricket has next to no basis on the real deal.

If it did then in 2 or 3 years time the Windies will be one of the top, and Australia one of the bottom!

 

[Muddaser]

what i was trying to say that they are spinners coming through in pakistan. in fact this was the first PAK team which had better spinners than pacers.

Well may not be as a team but it does produce individual talent. In the present Indian team Parthiv Patel, Md. Kaif, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan all have played in U-19 and have done well. Dont know about other countries though, I do know that Ravi Rampaul has been playing for WI senior team.
