'Pehle Se Hi Kuch Decide Hua Hai Kya?' Shaheen Afridi Blames 'Faulty' Speed Guns for Pakistan’s Drop in Pace During Tour of Australia (Watch Video)
The Pakistan T20I captain said that he was surprised to see the low pace of the bowlers despite putting in effort and hard work. "Jo body shuru se bowling kar rahi hai, woh itna zor laga ke 132-133 pe aati hai, toh hum khud hi hairan hai," he said at the presser.
Shaheen Afridi had a go at the speed guns in Australia as he blamed them for the drop in pace of Pakistan's fast bowlers during their recently concluded tour of Australia. Shaheen played two out of the three Test matches which Pakistan lost to Australia, eventually losing the series 0-3 and one of the talking points was the fact that the visiting fast bowlers could not clock high speeds. Shaheen, who addressed the media before the T20I series against New Zealand, stated that he was surprised to see the speed guns show the low pace of their bowlers on the tour. "Pehle se kuch decide hua hai kya ki isi pace se zyada nahi hoga?" he said.
