Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

Umesh the mental midget

[speedheat]

Umesh was hovering around 134 ks, his full length balls are no longer fast

[rkt.india]

I like his action. He is tall 6'2" and quick. From MP. He can be a very good test bowler.

Someone needs to give Umesh a push on the posterior with his leg ... to put it politely ... and tell him to bowl at full pace and at the top of off stump.

 

He will be more effective then.

He is making a comeback and this is a flat pitch .He will be most lethal when ball starts reversing.

Don't know which idiot advised him to bowl slow. There are already a lot of bowlers in India who can move the ball at 135k's and much more accurately too. Umesh without his skiddy pace is useless.

But for reverse swing to be effective he has to bowl at his usual pace and not trundle at 135k. Most of us here are not happy with his bowling because he is not bowling at his top pace.

Umesh bowling some big inswingers to the left hander in the first over after lunch.

 

Hopefully a wicket is just round the corner.

Umesh needs to bowl at full pace and at the off stump.  If he does not get wickets even then,  because conditions are unfavourable  ...  we don't have any problems.

 

Why should he bowl at a reduced pace and lesser accuracy than he achieved in early 2017.

Shami gets Jennings played on with a ball that bounced a bit extra and zipped off the deck with some seam movement.

 

Benefits of hitting the deck hard with a good line 

[express bowling]

Shami   146 k

[Nikhil_cric]

Just goes to show that bowling 4 overs at full pace and bowling 3-4 spells a day are completely different . However, in England atleast, pace is overrated. Umesh still has no control over his line and that's what is troublesome

[speedheat]

Shami bowls one at 146kph, solid rhythm..

[Mosher]

Shami gets another one. Has easily looked the best bowler today right from his first over.

Umesh has been able to bowl 135 k to 150 k range in test matches from 2011 to 2017.

If the ball is moving consistently then yes.

 

But, when any pacer starts bowling much slower than his usual pace ... it is often a sign of other issues he is having ... like lack of rhythm, lack of focus and intensity, issues with action or ball release, some niggles etc.

 

And these other issues will affect accuracy and consistency as well.

How can you perform so badly after bowling well in ODIs and Practice match ? Umesh is like mr ameoba. 

[Straight Drive]

2 wickets for Shami. The best performer for us in the two sessions so far. 

[Vilander]

Umesh is such a piece of ****. really. does not do **** - he needs to be dropped from next test once bumrah is back.

The guy is done. Really such shitty bowling so much width.

[Forever Indian]

Even Hardik bowling at higher pace than Umesh. Umesh has been the slowest bowler this match. Pace was the one thing going for him, seems like he is losing that too!

[express bowling]

Pandya has bowled well so far.  Hitting the deck hard at lively pace ...  bowling in good areas too.  He is maintaining pressure from his end.
