express bowling Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Excellent first spell by Saini .... bowling his 9th over now Has consistently bowled on or around the off-stump and bowling at good speeds even while bowling such a long spell Has got seam movement both ways and some swing too. Bowled quite a few sizzling bouncers Has picked up 2 wickets in the morning and an easy catch was dropped Edited December 31, 2017 by express bowling Mosher 1 Link to comment

Thankfully, this time he has been removed after a 4-over spell. As he is clocking high speeds still, I am hoping his injury is not serious. His ability to combine pace and bounce with accuracy and seam movement, spell after spell , is really impressing me. CG, Mosher and Suhaan 2 1 Link to comment

express bowling Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Has anyone seen Saini bowl in a 50-over game ? He is so accurate that he should do ok. His List A stats ..... 23 wickets from 13 matches @ 26.8 and ER of 5.05 ..... quite good. We need a wicket-taker in ODIs in the first 10 overs, as Shami is mostly rested. Can he be this bowler ?

He is a better test prospect than ODI prospect. If you read the OP and some subsequent posts, you will see that I discussed his suitability for immediate inclusion in our test squad. As he has been a part of our A-team for Unofficial tests in the last 2 series we played, he is already in the reckoning for a test berth. But, he is not a part of our 50-over A-team despite being accurate and having good List A numbers. So, I raised the ODI issue. Edited December 31, 2017 by express bowling Link to comment

Texan Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Saini has been very impressive the little that I watched of him. Seems to get good bounce and bowls in the right areas with good pace. I think he along with Gurbani should be fast-tracked into the India setup. There is no point in hoping endlessly that Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma will suddenly start delivering when we have such promising players waiting in the wings. I hope he would have been selected for SA. Selectors are such a useless bunch always only making supposedly "safe" picks by playing "same old, same old". Link to comment

But way being talked about is like new Marshall Agreed, and ICF-ers do it all the time :) Getting too excited and carried away, Siraj is one recent example and many others over the years. Saini is good and kudos to GG for fighting for Saini in ranji team, but not that 'terrific', long way to go still - could not knock over #6 to #10 of Vidarbha itself , yet. So, intl teams are different level. Edited December 31, 2017 by fineleg Peshust 1 Link to comment

Quote I do like Saini, just talking abt the over-hype at ICF This is a cricket forum ..... present for the very purpose of discussing various cricketers in great detail Not every prospect will succeed in international cricket but that does not mean their domestic performances won't be liked.
