Pakistan Certainly Need Shaheen Shah Afridi Bowling A Little Bit Quicker: Michael Vaughan
Shaheen Shah Afridi: Former England captain Michael Vaughan wants to see more effort from Pakistan’s fast-bowling spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi, who looked below his best in the Test series opener against Australia, saying the left-arm pacer needs to bowl a little quicker.
In the first Test against Australia at Perth, Shaheen had match figures of 2/172 from 45.2 overs, as Pakistan lost by 360 runs. Vaughan also feels if Pakistan doesn’t show fight with the ball, the meek performance from Perth can be repeated in coming Tests in Melbourne and Sydney.
“Do you want my honest answer? No, I don't (expect them to be more competitive in the second and third Tests). I mean, they're a team that's almost going through a bit of transition. It's the first Pakistan bowling attack that I've seen that hasn't had a more than 145km/h bowler.”
