“You Are Going To Become A ‘Medium Pacer'”: Pakistan Legend Blasts Shaheen Afridi | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Pakistan cricket team.© AFPThe fast bowlers of Pakistan have come under the scanner after their lack of pace against Australia in the first Test in Perth. Pakistan are quite restricted in terms of putting up a quality pace bowling line-up with Naseem Shah nursing an injury and Haris Rauf opting out of the ongoing three-match Test series against Australia. Without experience, the majority of the burden fell on Shan Masood's deputy Shaheen Shah Afridi, but even he struggled to generate pace. Criticising the left-arm pacer, Pakistan's pace legend Waqar Younis said that if he continues like this, he will become a 'medium pacer'.During the first Test, Afridi averaged around 130 kmph and saw a drop to a high 120 kmph in the second innings."I am not really sure what is wron...

“There Is No Real Pace”: Bowling Legend Slams Pakistan’s Fast Bowlers During Australia Test Series | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Pakistan pace great Waqar Younis expressed his concern over the declining pace of Pakistan fast bowlers during the first Test against Australia at Perth. Pakistan lost the first Test by 360 runs and is preparing to fight back into the series in the second Test, a Boxing Day Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from Tuesday onwards. In the Perth Test, the Pakistan pace attack consisting of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Khurram Shehzad, Aamer Jamal and Faheem Ashraf had some impressive moments in which they made Australia batters uneasy with their bowling, made them toil hard for runs.But despite that, none of these bowlers consistently touched the speeds of 140 kmph or above, a hallmark of Pakistan pace bowling and infact, all of modern-day genuine fast bowling.This lack of speed h...

“Everyone Was Slightly Surprised”: Mitchell Starc On Pakistan’s Lack Of Pace In 1st Test Against Australia | Cricket News

[ad_1] Australia's experienced left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc was "surprised" to see Pakistan's lack of pace in the first Test which was one of the most talked about points. Pakistan are quite restricted in terms of putting up a quality pace bowling line-up with Naseem Shah nursing an injury and Haris Rauf opting out of the Test series. Without experience, the majority of the burden fell on Shan Masood's deputy Shaheen Shah Afridi, but even he struggled to generate pace. "I think everyone was slightly surprised at the lower pace of the Pakistan bowlers, when you're generally used to some guys getting in the 150s [kph]. I don't think that pace is the be all and end all but it certainly plays a part and can help," Starc said, speaking to media as quoted from ESPNcricinfo.During the first Te...

In the first session, he scalped three, needing just one wicket in the second session to reach the remarkable feat. With Australia pacers removing Pakistan batters at a brisk pace, it seemed as if Lyon would have to wait for another Test to pick his 500th Test wicket.But he achieved the feat and after the game said as quoted from ESPNcricinfo, "I still pinch myself when ...

David Warner Slams 164 As Australia Take Control Against Pakistan | Cricket News

[ad_1] Veteran opener David Warner hammered a gritty 164 to silence the critics and steer Australia to 346-5 against an inconsistent Pakistan attack in the first Test at Perth on Thursday. The 37-year-old batted for much of day one before finally departing to Aamer Jamal, two balls after smashing the debutant for six. At stumps, Mitchell Marsh was unbeaten on 15 and Alex Carey not out 14.
