Varun and Yadav were too good today

Two things.. Can they sustain their pace for slightly longer version of games. Umesh looks like he could. Second can they remain injury free like Steyn' date=' Morkel for a relative long period.[/quote'] their work loads need to be managed well by bcci, and make sure they are at peak fitness conditions before all test matches and world cups. all other tournaments are secondary.

These bowlers have always been there but there is no directive policy either from BCCI Selectors, Coaching or Dhoni to groom these guys to produce the goods for sustained period of say....minimum 4 years. Guys like Munaf and Sreesanth were always 140plus bowlers but poor injury management has made them sacrifice their speeds. Another guy I would love to see get regular games in IPL is Abu Nechim, he has better control than both Aaron and Yadav and bowls regularly around 140 mark.

I was the biggest Anti PK here but after watching him bowl in England....He would be a perfect fit to complement Umesh and Varun in most conditions if he gets back the same form he was in July 2011...or an Irfan Pathan circa 2003-2005 for the additional X factor he brings in. Having Ishanth,Varun,Umesh in the same team would make the attack too one-dimensional. Please keep VK,Mithun etc far away from the team......Still hope for Dinda though

Aaron has kept his word. He did not sacrifice his pace even after injury. The one that got Gambhir was 147 K and as usual with Aaron it was clean bowled. I hope he can keep himself fit. Yadav has already proved himself. Just needs to finetune a bit. Poor captaincy by Veeru. He should've continued Aaron for the full spell, instead of bringing on Pathan. By the time he came back, the match was almost over.

Umesh -- fastest 151.5 k and lots of deliveries between 147 k to 150 k. He was really quick today which largely made up for his random mindless deliveries. Aaron -- fastest 147.4 k and lots of deliveries between 140 k to 143 k. After an injury -- not bad at all. He was getting steep bounce off a good length and making the batsmen hop and jump. Plus, he tried to bowl to a plan and often succeeded. 3 genuinely quick bowlers bowling in tandem was a treat to watch.
