Pollack Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) 10 hours ago, maniac said: He has 2 variations of slower balls as well and can regularly bowl at 140ks...a winner in my book And Andrew Tye has many variations of knuckle balls itself. My comment of one trick pony was a reply to other poster who said Andrew the was one trick pony unlike Thampi. The problem with hype brigade is they want only praise to be showered on the flavour of the season. If you say as it is they feel their flavour of the season is undermined. I made it clear two times that I actually like Thampi and rate him.So its not like he is a loser in my book which I don't maintain.

zaqw222222 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Really good to see that he can land yorkers at will. Hope he continues improving velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweaker Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Thampi also has a good bouncer, if he can use speed, Yorkers, slower one, bouncer he can be a good bowler. But he is very raw & with experience he will become better velu, Pollack and Mosher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilander Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 so a guy who can bowl yorkers at 140 k is hyped and useless...lol.. do all the guys who are typing crap here actually know how hard it is to bowl a 130k ball at the stumps? hehe Sidhoni, velu, Mosher and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosher Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Article about Thampi in today's TOI newspaper. Thampi said that he has learnt to bowl the back of the hand slower one only recently while training in the Guj Lions camp. He will get better at it as he bowls more of that slower delivery. It is a good sign that he is picking up skills quickly. Thampi also talks about his training stint with McGrath in MRF and how McGrath told him to never compromise on pace.

tweaker Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Dwayne Bravo spoke about Basil Thampi who has impressed him the most in the Lions camp. He noted that Thampi is one of the most exciting youngsters in India. He went on to say that Thampi will go on to represent the national side someday soon. “Basil Thampi is a very, very talented youngster. I would say he will get the opportunity to play for Team India in a year or so. He has the talent, obviously, but he also has a lot of heart, pace and the skill. He’s always willing to learn,”.

pindxb Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 He seems to be improving with every match. He looked nervous in the first two matches but is now slowly gaining confidence. Very promising. Also liked what I saw of Siraj yesterday, most of the youngsters havent disappointed so far. velu and speedheat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
