Rauf’s poor game awareness hurting Pakistan
New Delhi, Oct 21: It can only happen with a Pakistan team. In the same match, its bowlers can bowl an eye-popping 152 dot balls and yet end up conceding a massive 367 runs in 50 overs.
It happened against Australia in a World Cup match on Friday. It is now well documented that Naseem Shah’s absence is hurting the team badly but even then, Haris Rauf’s lack of game awareness has affected the team’s performance.
Rauf, for example, hasn’t got a hang of Indian tracks where he is either bowling too full or too short — the latter in most cases.
Rauf has been hit for 11 sixes in four games and that is more than two sixes per game, which isn’t a great piece of statistic for a tearaway quick who is supposed to intimidate the batters.He went for 24 in his first over. (PTI)
