Siraj - not impressed

[Texan]

First impressions. Young lad. Not international quality yet. Too raw. Can't bowl to a line and length. Probably needs to go back to domestics and fine tune.

[King Tendulkar]

I would say today proved nothing for and against him

 

crazy flat track . Debut so nervous . But also did not show case anything 

 

really more could be deduced if played a couple of odi games . 

[Pollack]

LOL. It's Rajkot man. Give it a break. 

[maniac]

He hasn’t been the worst bowler today...has a good Yorker

 

Looked super nervous and overwhelmed...I would see a little more but yeah surprisingly pace has been down

[Rasgulla]

Miracle needed  not ready yet

[vvvslaxman]

Yes will wait. Ajit Agarkar far nippier and pacier when he made debut. That was the early 2000s.

I won't form an adverse opinion about a young debutant pacer, bowling on a flat 200-type pitch, in a T20 match, based on one match 

 

Siraj has bowled good lines and lengths in the IPL and A-team games and bowled at higher pace too.

Not a great debut for Siraj,  hopefully he will not be cast aside.  T20s certainly isn't the easiest of formats to make one's debut in.

Should get to play the next match too.

[the don]

Its his first game but geez the hype was so unwarranted .

Not only is he very raw and undercooked he is also pretty pedestrian in pace .

Fahim ashraf the allrounder from Pakistan is a couple of yards quicker.. 

Tone down the hype .

[speedheat]

Can't judge a debutant on a pitch where experience bowler's are going for runs

Was a lot slower today than he was in the IPL.

 

Happens to pacers when not in rhythm.

You don’t have to judge him by today’s performance if you have seen him bowl in IPL, which i hope you did because he bowled a lot in this year’s IPL. This is one of t20 for him on crappiest track for bowlers, and clearly t20 is the worst format to start your career with. Anyways, too early to jusge him but the guy can bowl better than this like he showed in the IPl. 

 

[King Tendulkar]

reminded me of vinnay kumar lol

[cowboysfan]

Not a good wicket for a debut for a bowler,feel sorry for the kid.

Hope so because can instantly tell that he is the sort of guy who will rely on air speed.

Yes let him play the next. And if he is not ready, he atleast gets some exposure and go back and work on his game. Welcome to highly competitive international cricket, a taste of it from Munro, Guptill and co.

Can’t tell anything from this game 

 

one thing is certain will bowl much better in game 2 . Was emotional wreck . Belted our national anthem and in emotional tears after anthems ended , on just that alone would give him 3 game run

Allrounders can be quick,pandya has also bowled at 145. faheem bowls at 140 at times doesnt make him a main bowler and his batting is pure tullaybazi.

Dont know what your point is...

Debuts can be tricky...i wasnt ever that hyped for siraj due to his rawness,liked the look of thampi ,sangwan,avesh,nathu more ....but he did well in A matches.Might still do well in next match.
