Razzaqs bowling in odis

The end of the home odi series v england started the decline in Razzaqs bowling in ODI cricket.

1) At end of england series 00/01 (record)

69 odis 538 ovrs 2343 runs 100 wkts ave 23.43 (4 wkts) - 3 (5 wkts) - 2

Razzaq took same n.o of games as sami/ntini to get to 100 odi wickets. An average of 23.43 is very good . Ave 1.45 wkts/per odi again very good.

• Razzaq also had a superb VB series in Australia in 99/00 with ball and was named man of the series. so razzaq the bowler was a very potent force in world game. (8 odis - 14 wkts @ 20.78)

• In calender 2000 --> 38 odis 61 wkts @ 22.45 (4th best wkt tally for a calender year in history of the game)

Razzaqs next 100 odi wickets (200 odi wkts)


overall record - 181 odis 1314.5 ovrs 5965 runs 203 wkts 29.38 ave (4 wkts) - 5 (5 wkts) - 3

(100 --> 200) 112 odis 776.5 ovrs 3622 runs 103 wkts 35.17 ave (4 wkts) - 2 (5 wkts) - 1

Razzaq took an extra 43 games to take his next 100 wkts. His average to get to 100 wkts was 23.43 but his average to get next 100 wkts was 35.17.

Ave 0.92 wkts/per odi (period of time to go from 100 to 200 odi wkts)

--------------------------

Razzaq has 220 odi wkts @ ave 29.61. Since 2000 razzaq indeed has had an alarming dip in the quality of his bowling.

Will razzaq ever Gain The zip he had in late 90s in ODIS?

i hope razzaq does get the zip back but its hard to imagine how, BW says his confidence is low. i disagree i dnt think razzaq gives a **** anymore. he just plays to make a living rather than for the love of pakistan.

I think Razzaq need a break,, A break of 6 month,,, then he will learn to bowl fast..

I think sometime U have to relax, u get tired by playing cricket,,,,

Razzaq is the player who has been playing every test and odi since 1999... I think he need a break,,,,,, He need the hunger..

razzaq hasnt played cricket since windies tour in may/june. in my opinion thats long enough to relax and get the hunger.

In other word he need to be kick out for 2 moths like we have done against AKhtar..

Razzaq need the fire......

once razzaq gets chucked out i cnt see him coming back. he relies on confidence. plus there are many all rounders fighting to enter international stage and once they get in they may show hunger which may make razzaq a forgotten entity.
