You people said that swings the ball both ways. I dont think Thats true. I dont recall him either swinging or seaming the ball into right hander. What he does that to left handers he mostly bowls into them and then bowls a straight one. Correct me IF I am wrong but I am yet to see any in dippers to right handers by him
Captain1: I cant resist commenting on his action. That is one Weird action for a fast bowler, and he isnt that bad with his pace either
He reminds of Andy Caddick ...that guy who went running in to bowl didnt take off coz of his ears...but instead bowled something weird out of a twisted backkick heelspin action!
Pakistan’s latest pace sensation Sohail Tanvir has credited former captain and southpaw Wasim Akram for his success in the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa.
Tanvir, also a left-armer who bowls off the wrong foot, said it was Akram who had taught him to swing the ball.
Rookie Tanvir was rushed to South Africa as a replacement for fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, who was sent back from South Africa on disciplinary grounds after he had a row with teammate Mohammad Asif.
The lanky youngster, who hails from Jahanda Chichi in Rawalpindi, has made an immediate impact in the World Cup and his three-wicket haul against world champions Australia on Tuesday led Pakistan to a six-wicket win.
“It was Akram who spotted me during a recent camp and he referred my name to the PCB chairman who backed my selection in the team,” Tanvir said.
Tanvir, however, has not got an opportunity as yet in the world cup to display his big hitting prowess which he has exhibited well at the domestic level.
Last year, he scored two centuries and four fifties in the country’s premier domestic tournament Qquaid-e-Azam trophy.
Expressing gratitude to Akram, Tanvir said he was greatly influenced
Now that he has played some Twenty20 games already, what do you guys think of him? How does he bowl LnL/speed, variety etc? Please no discussion on bowling action, I am tired of that :D
as much as i hate cricket
I still saw sohail tanver playing
I will say, now for once Waseem Akrem need to be little "ghereat mand" and train this boy.
and when yuvraj hits 6 sixes in a 2020, they say that he shud be a permanent fixture in tests....
tab nahin is baat ka khayal aaya????
Youvraj hitting those sixes gave every indian on this planet chance to tell rest of world that** Look we are not the loser you think we are **, such is their low self esteem
