Mashrafe Mortaza - The next great fast bowler?

Originally uploaded by bipugd.

Mashrafe Mortaza could be the next great fast bowler in international cricket


Mashrafe Mortaza typifies the spirit of the Bangladesh cricket team. Mashrafe Mortaza is Bangladesh cricket's speedster on par with the best of the world's fast bowlers on one day and an average class bowler on another.


Mashrafe Mortaza will prize his hostile opening spell against the Indian cricket team


Mashrafe Mortaza's opening spell against the Indian cricket team set the tone for the spirited performance of the Bangladesh cricket team in the World cup cricket series.2007 in the Caribbean


Mashrafe Mortaza bowled a powerful spell and had Uthappa and Ganguly on the backfoot and struggling right from the first over and this lifted the spirit of the Bangladesh cricket team who began to believe that they could win against the Indian cricket team


Mashrafe Mortaza has a good chance against the Indian cricket team in the Indian cricket team's Bangladesh tour


Mashrafe Mortaza may find it difficult to bowl extremely hostile spells in the slower pitches of Bangladesh. The Indian tour of Bangladesh is a good opportunity for Mashrafe Mortaza to cement his place in the Bangladesh cricket team and learn to bowl well on slower unresponsive pitches

Mashrafe Mortaza and Mohammed Asif form the hope for the Asian subcontinent's revival

Did Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar take drugs?


Did Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar take drugs?


Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar will not play the cricket World cup,2007.The official Pakistan board alibi is that Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar are injured and cannot make it to the cricket World cup


Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar injured at the same time?


Talk about coincidence!The Pakistan cricket board claim that Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar are injured and cannot play a single match of the cricket World cup


When players like Oram talk about amputating their finger in order to play the cricket World cup, the excuse of Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar seems pretty lame


Akhtar and Asif-How widespread is drug taking by international cricketers like Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif?



We are not naive enough to pretend that Akhtar and Asif are the only drug takers- Cricket is definitely another endurance sport that probably has quite a few international sportsmen to enhance performance,but cricket authorities such as the ICC do not seem to be seriously looking at curbing this drug taking menace.
Every World cup,a popular cricketer is made a scapegoat,last time it was Shane Warne and this time its the turn of Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar


What about the matching fixing practice?.. Well, the ICC is not taking this menace seriously either

Pakistan cricket team make a blunder by not including Akhtar


The Pakistan cricket team needs to play Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif together


The Pakistan cricket team has made a blunder by not including Shoaib Akhtar in the cricket series against South Africa. Shoaib Akhtar serves as the perfect foil for Mohammed Asif, the pace of Shoaib Akhtar and the guile of Asif is the perfect combination for the Pakistan cricket team.



The Pakistan cricket team selectors should have known that fast bowlers attack in packs



Fast bowlers all over the world have bowled in tandem-Dennis Lillee and Thomson, Brett Lee and McGrath,Michael Holding and Andy Roberts,Imran Khan and Safraz Nawaz. Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar can form that great combination, if once they are given a chance together in the Pakistan cricket team



The Pakistan cricket team may still win if Yousuf Mohammed can make it for the remaining tests against South Africa


Among all the batsmen of the Pakistan cricket team,Yousuf Mohammed is by far the most compact of batsmen. In fact,in his current form, Yousuf Mohammed is probably the best batsman in the world. If Yousuf plays in the last two tests of this Pakistan Vs South Africa test series, the Pakistan cricket team have some chance of winning the series,which will be closely fought

Durban weather disappoints India-Indian batting fails as well


India lost the Durban test to South Africa due to inept batting and a failure from the Durban weather- The Indian batsmen however did not believe in letting the Durban weather play a part in the result of the India Vs South Africa second test and quickly ensured that the Indian batting folded up before the weather became any worse.

Once the Indian cricket team is determined to lose,no bad weather can hold them up!

Jokes apart, Ntini bowled with a lot of fire in the India Vs South Africa second cricket test under overcast conditions and the second cricket test result was determined in the first over of the fifth day when Sachin Tendulkar fell to Ntini for a duck. It quite amazes people that great batsmen like Sachin and Sehwag fall cheaply while bowlers like Zaheer and Kumble play for almost an hour.

The reason for the failures of top order batsmen in world cricket is the research done on the weaknesses of the batsmen. Sachin Tendulkar has a weakness for the inswinger from outside the off to the middle stump and every bowler of the world from Mohammed Asif to Brett Lee to Ntini will continue to exploit that weakness. Unless Sachin Tendulkar can solve that problem, his batting woes are bound to continue.
