Ultimate_Game Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I've been saying for ages Umesh Yadav is not cut out for shorter formats. I hope finally everyone, including Kohli and the selectors can see why Umesh is not a shorter format bowler. We've a pretty decent bowling unit but if one bowler lacks control and leaks runs and boundaries it renders others useless or at the very least reduces other bowlers' effectiveness. Speed is all fine but control is a non-negotiable and so is the ability to be mentally strong and bounce back after the batsman goes after you. Umesh lacks both these qualities. We saw against SL that their batsmen could score easily whenever Umesh bowled and that Bhuvi & bumrah couldn't extert any pressure at all. Fast forward today and SA batsmen couldn't target anyone as every bowler bowled to a plan and didn't give freebies. Umesh is our best bowler in Tests just like Rahane is one of our best batsman in Tests. They should both stick to Tests. Bowlers with all the speed in the world but no control are useless - case in point Riaz, Sami and Umesh. Control is the paramount factor and then pace should be considered as Bhuvi showed today and why I back Bhuvi to be in the starting lineup no matter what.

gattaca Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Lol jadeja and Hardik bowled worse. Even today if it was different we would have been in trouble sa masking our inability to take wickets with choke run outs.

NareshK Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Our bowling today was one of the best efforts by our seamers on a flat track I've seen. Never gave any opportunities to score easy runs, then spinners did a great job. sscomp32, Mosher, New guy and 5 others 8 Link to comment

Mosher Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Umesh is a poor bowler at death. Kohli made a mistake by using him in the death overs against SL. Umesh is a wicket taker and if he is picked he should complete his quota before the death overs. He can be played on pitches where 3 frontline pacers are needed and if Shami is injured.

Number Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Its not as if replacing him made all the difference today. There were so many things. Nonetheless he does not merit inclusion in XI ahead of Ash or Shami. sscomp32 and f.b.m 2 Link to comment

Though I do agree that he should concentrate only on test matches but he is not really the worst and doesn't deserve to get so much stick from fans. And looking at that list its so dissapointing to see Bhuvi with just 21 wickets in 20 matches. That guy is alot better bowler than that. zen, Mosher and speedheat 3 Link to comment
