Razaullah's fast bowling, performance drops significantly after 90 mph

In the Edgbaston Test, Pakistan's young fast bowler Razaullah caught everyone's attention with his speed on the second day, but as the match progressed, there was a significant difference in his bowling. Razaullah, who initially reached a speed of 90 mph, could not maintain the line, length and pace later.

Speed ​​​​at the beginning attracted everyone

Razaullah bowled the first ball of the second day at a speed of 85 mph. This short-of-length ball passed near the right shoulder of Dean Lawrence.

He then bowled at a speed of 87 mph and also touched 90 mph during the same over. However, the initial speed could not be maintained for long and as the day passed, his speed as well as line and length also decreased.

Four wickets but a costly spell

Razaullah bowled a total of 23 overs and took 4 wickets for 148 runs. His economy rate was 6.43, the worst economy rate in England by a bowler who bowled at least 20 overs.

England's tail-enders also managed to score runs against Razaullah, which further highlighted the expensiveness of his spell.

Razaullah's performance reflects the difficulty of generating a lot of pace, maintaining it over a long spell and using it with the right line and length.
