Sometimes he is in 140+kph but not consistently. 19 hours ago, kubrickian said: Looks like coaches still put more emphasis on getting movement than outright pace. All these upcoming bowlers like Siddharth Kaul, Shardul Thakur, Dhawal Kulkarni are in that swing bowler mold like B Kumar rather than looking for outright pace. Need more Varun Aaron or even Ishant Sharma (with lot more control and skill) type bowlers. Only Basil Thampi comes close in terms of ability. Umesh is one of the few bowlers who has pace, stamina and skills but has no temperament or thinking ability and hence has not delivered as much as he should have. Thakur bowls 130 k to 145 k range, can hit the deck hard and has a good bouncer. Among new pacers.... Thampi, Siraj, Avesh, Nathu, Nagarkoti and Khejroliya can become genuinely quick bowlers as they have the raw pace and want to bowl quick. Thakur, Navdeep, Aniket and Rajpoot are fast-medium and most of these guys get good bounce. Dhawal is not in the reckoning now for an international spot. Among international pacers.... Shami, Umesh, Bumrah, Ishant and Aaron can be considered fast bowlers. Even Pandya and Bhuvi have become fast-medium now.... and have good bouncers, especially Pandya. Don't see any medium pacer in reckoning for a national spot. Edited August 11, 2017 by express bowling Mosher, Rightarmfast, tweaker and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

Shami, Siraj types are also fine. 4) Thampi is the least capable in terms of abilities among the other contenders. 5) Agreed on Umesh. Link to comment
Mosher Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Lot of upcoming talented pacers in India. Hope to see an Indian fast bowler who can bowl like Steyn in tests. speedheat and express bowling 2 Link to comment

The thing is, the bowler seems to have a strong and steady action. yes, very good runup and bowling action, will get good outswing. Action is a bit similar to Woakes though he bowls from very close to the stumps. He has been an MRF trainee. Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment

express bowling Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Shami moving the ball a lot at high pace. ( Mostly into the left-handers ) Bowling in good areas too. Picks up Tharanga. Link to comment
express bowling Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Quick, well directed bouncers from Shami to new man Mendis at 141 k and 144 k Ball thuds into the keepers gloves collected above his head Edited August 13, 2017 by express bowling Link to comment
express bowling Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Umesh bowling poorly so far Not looking in rhythm, pace is down, spraying the ball on both sides. 19 runs from 2 overs in a test match opening spell with batters defending mostly. Punctuating this with a couple of magic balls which may get wickets. Edited August 13, 2017 by express bowling Link to comment
express bowling Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Shami gets his 2nd wicket with a beauty The ball angles in the the left-hander and seams away taking the edge. Ball at 142 k Great low catch by Saha Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment

These are not qualities of a test bowler. He is in the side only because he can generate decent pace and swing but without control, these mean nothing. Link to comment
express bowling Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Shami bowling lots of balls at 143 k to 145 k with bounce, movement and great accuracy.... hitting the deck hard. Great bowling on a flat track where SL pacers looked average. Edited August 13, 2017 by express bowling Link to comment

express bowling Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 That looked out... Shami's seaming in ball hits the pads. Batsman saved by a millimeter on review... about 50% of the ball was hitting the stumps Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment
