CG Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Great to watch Two indian bowler bowl at 140km+ consistently in tests.This just shows how diabolical a decison it was to play malnutrion victim unadkat ahead of him in sa by Dhoni. Link to comment
Hur Rizvi Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 The pace is useless in this wicket.Once it hits the wicket it comes on slow to the bat and batsmen have time to adjust.Thats why he didnt look too threatening but still bowled heart out and dismissed a set batsmen when Edwards looked untroubled against spinners.He also dismissed Baugh with good reverse swing too. When Fidel was bowling yesterday most were raving about him and comparing to Yadav and pointing out Yadav is poor.Yet he too hardly bowled any great deliveries and most of edges came from shots played to ball outside the off stump. On a wicket like this how can a fast bowler be expected to bowl great wicket taking deliveries seriously? Considering the pitch he bowled and also being on debut he was very impressive IMO. Edwards is a crap bowler .... I think they showed the pitch map and 80% of edward's deliveries were short today... Yadav was better consistency wise also yadav bowled quicker than edwards at least in the part of match i saw live.... What was edwards fastest delivery?? Yadav looked quicker to me Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Edwards was around 141-143 kmph most of the time. His fastest was probably 146 though. Link to comment
vayuu1 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I will. Also like to see Aaron in this line up ,if it happens will be the first time in india's history that all the three pacers are capable of bowling over 90+ mph consistently . Link to comment
deathmonger Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I will. Also like to see Aaron in this line up ' date='if it happens will be the first time in india's history that all the three pacers are capable of bowling over 90+ mph consistently .[/quote'] that will happen but not now. ishant yadav have to improve their line without losing pace. (aaron already has decent control) anyway they'll keep geeting chances, not necessarily all three in the same match. hope they improve in the 1-2 years zak has left. if everything goes well we'll have a bowling attack of aaron, yadav, ishant and ashwin. three 140+ bowlers and a damn good spinner. best indian bowling attack ever.

Rightarmfast Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Ishant was bowling really quick, lots of deliveries at around 143 k. His average speed was 139.9 k in a test match, really good. The problem is he was not always aiming at the stumps and as he is not a skidder but depends on bounce ( of which there was none on offer from this pitch ) he was not that effective against the tail. 3 bowlers bowling above 140 k and moving the ball also. The tables have turned indeed. I think this is the fastest test attack we have ever had. Which 3 domestic bowlers are you talking about -- Rahul Shukla, Nechim and Shammi Ahmed ? Yes, these are the 3 bowlers, plus Tamark who was mentioned on ICF some time back. I am also including Rehan Khan in the list, although him coming in the team is a far stretched idea. Though I feel he is similar pace and after seeing Edwards yesterday, I was so reminded of Rehan. "Deathmonger", I think the best and fastest Indian attack ever was Srinath, Zaheer and Nehra in WC 03 and around that time when these 3 were bowling together with Agarkar also in the team ( whp could work up high pace ).

Yeah, that was awesome. And Bhajji wasn't Darty then. Everyone chipped in. Nehra destroying England. ZAK destroying NZ. Srinath destroying SL. So sad what happened in the final. At least Bhajji, Nehra and ZAK made up for it by winning this time around. Nechim also looks good. How are Shukla and Shami Ahmed? Seen them? Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Havent seem them but am sure they must be good pace wise. I mean, around the 140 mark. I think right now we can safely say that pace wise, we do have some good reserve bowlers who are sharp, if not express ! Link to comment
vishalvirsingh Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Umesh"s first wicket was possibly a 142K ball but it seemed like a 148K as it went so swift that batsmen cud not do much...it was a simple case oF bowling becos of aggressive pace..it ws all bcos of pace Link to comment
panther Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 has anyone got a video of his wickets jealously apart i love watching fast bowling Link to comment
maniac Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Umesh Yadav's Raw pace has been really impressive and looks like he is one for the future but atm his line looks really predictable....Bowls too full all the time for my taste,if he doesn't vary his length he is going to be in trouble...

Manny_Pacquiao Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 his average speed is about the same as fidel edwards'. unfortunately he bowls just as many bad deliveries as fidel usually does. Link to comment

Fidel is a very bad bowler himself, Yadav's length was better than Edwards just his line was off a little bit but it was just his 1st test so give him a little marjin for error Link to comment

I see Yadav as a wicket taking bowler looks an exciting prospect for world cricket... It is strange and sad how bowlers seem to have forgotten the great Waqar Younis' bowling style, isn't it. He was perhaps the most objective pacer to have bowled in test cricket, always attacking the stumps at high pace. Most fast bowlers try the three quarter length shorter ball or outwinger as their stock delivery these days apart from Malinga. Both Umesh and Varun have the tendency to attack the stumps at high pace but I fear that some " brilliant advisor " will tell them to focus on the outswinger more. Link to comment

Jokes apart Yadav looks a great fast bowling prospect who has all the talent that is needed to become a great fast bowler hopefully your team management doesnot mess up with him much...
