Pakistani Fast Bowler Mohd Irfan

[Gunner786]

One of the tallest fast bowlers ever!
Come onto domestic scene with a bang and looks like he might be going to australia,
if not then will surely be playing international cricket next year.

and hes left handed

contrary to his age on cricinfo he is actually 3 years yonger than his official age therefore making him 24 which is not too bad!

Yeah, he was going all around in cricinfo, i was intrigued when i saw his name in the "hot searches".

When i saw his profile, he looked the same as i imagined he'd be.

He can be the Khali of Pakistan - 7 ft 1 in!

something about this guy feels a bit Atul Sharma.

but at least he has actually bowled a ball and taken some wickets, but why on earth was he not noticed before? It's not like anyone could have watched him play and not at least taken note of his height.

 

[Master Khan]

7 ft 1.. wow I wanna see him bowl!!

 

[SaiSrini]

Give him to us please. We will overhype him, spoil his career and send him back to Pakistan!

 

[pcfan123]

Well being that he is from Pakistan who knows what his real age is. Afridi is 29 according to cricinfo :sarcasm

I bet he is not that quick, that's why we have no heard much about him. He probably gets good bounce though.

 

[CG123]

He smashed up Karachi Whites in his most previous match, taking 11 wickets!!!

Looks to be a good prospect for the near future.

Being 7 feet,1 inch tall, Mohammad Irfan would make a deadly bouncer from that height. Because he's so tall he's easily be able to dig the ball into the pitch, I sure wouldn't want to be facing him, that's for sure.

Good for Pakistan, a new and improved version of Akhtar

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

he's not 7'1, the most trustworthy sources have him at 6'10

thats the thing,
nooone saw atul shrma
this guy isnt being hyped up to be 100mph,
hes bowling at around 85mph and will reach 90-94mph when he gets some fitness and games around his belt

he wasnt noticed cos like many people in pakistan he had to concentrate on getting a job and feeding his family.
it was only cos of the efforts of a certain other forum along with a few influential people that he came to the academies attention

And he might start picking up injuries with games under his belt, someone that height has to be looked after very well, Pakistan can't rush him into international cricket.

Irfan's real age is 27. And Afridi's 33.

Yeah, I'm sure Pakistan is just filled with NBA scouts and I'm sure that he has the money to buy a plane ticket to the USA :sarcasm...
