“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...

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...
