“Shaheen Afridi’s Real Problem Is…”: Ravi Shastri’s Blunt Verdict On Pakistan Pacer | Cricket News

[ad_1] Legendary Indian cricket team all-rounder Ravi Shastri believes that Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi is under tremendous pressure and that is affecting his performance.

Shaheen could manage to take just one wicket after conceding 96 runs. "I think Shaheen Afridi's real problem is the pressure of being the spearhead of this Pakistan attack. Without much real support at the other end, when it comes to pace. When you talk of Pakistan and their fast-bowling attack, there is genuine pace all the time. And you don't have one bowler here who is even close to 140. So tha...

ODI World Cup: Nathan Lyon Waiting Patiently On The Sidelines If Australia Need Spin Reinforcement | Cricket News

With only one specialist spinner in Adam Zampa and all-rounder Glenn Maxwell as the other option, Australia could feel the absence of a slow bowler, especially in spin-friendly conditions in India."I sent Andrew McDonald a text message the other day when I saw Ashton Agar was ruled out. I said, 'Just to let you know, I'm back bowling 10 overs, I'm right to go, 100 per cent'. If that happened I'd do anything to go over and play the World Cu...
