In the next 2-3 years, we are going to have 8-10 options of pace bowlers who can bowl in the range of 135k-145k. Having options is very very important, so that you can select based on form and fitness.

Absolutely.

Unless there is competition , people stop performing at optimum level.

Also, as you said, injury management and form management would be easier.

And all of them are either tall or tallish...and get some bounce....which I feel is often more important in international cricket than pace ( unless you are 145 k + in some spells  )

Even Pandya is  6'1"  ( as you said ).

and Aniket Chaudhary, the left armer. He is older though, 25. He really impressed me this season in Ranji trophy. Really coming well now. I will not  judge Sran at this point too. He is very young too at 23. If he can work on his shoulder strength which had surgery in 2012 after an accident then he can still be good.

Not seen much of him recently, the last i saw he was a late 120K bowler, hoping he has added 10K or so to his bowling speed, if yes, he can be really useful with the height he has. But 135K should be a minimum for him.

Aniket now bowls at 135-140K. He has improved his pace a lot.

Would love to see some videos, any links available ? That would be good if he has picked up pace, he has really good height, which is an asset for a bowler, and one of the reasons, Bhuvi, Umesh are not that effective against australia is because they lack the bounce to beat the aussies in their horizontal play!!

i saw him too w hen he was bowling 120Kph odd, but at that time, his run up and bowling action were all over the place, very soft bowling action, not much power going through it, but he is more refined, runs in well and everything coming nicely.

Nehra was Clever today,though he needs to bowl the inswingers to warner Next time.

Bumrah's max speed 143kmp,pandya's 141 ,nehra's 141 .average speed was 135+ for all

yeah desperately want to see avesh khan,he was clocking close to 140 in the u19s and is a massive unit.one for the near future

[Shivaji bhonsle]

Im impressed by the speeds bowled by Pandya. For a batting all-rounder bowling 135 plus is gold for India. Should groom him properly. I'll be very eager to see him bat in coming matches.

Hopefully he will be able to maintain these speeds in ODIs too.

We will get to see Avesh's bowling in a few days at the U19 world cup. Another interesting bowler to look out for U19 left arm pacer Khalil Ahmed. He picked up a 5-fer vs Pakistan.

Yeah. Will be exciting to see his bowling this year. He has been bowling well in the build-up to the world cup, hope he has increased his pace too.

Avesh was 17 then.

[express bowling]

Avesh is another tall, hit-the-deck pacer.  Should get bounce.

[express bowling]

Our selectors always try to pick either the quickest pacers even if they are spray-guns or the ones who are getting the most swing even if they are bowling 127 k.

Pacers who are combining some pace / bounce and decent accuracy would be better picks to fill at-least  3 of the 5 pacers slots....with the other 2 going to real quicks.

Which is why I feel a bit sad that Ishwar Pandey never got a chance. He had accuracy and got good bounce at 130 k to 138 k and got outswing too . I don't know whether he runs out of steam in the later overs. If he doesn't then he should have been tried in a few matches.

I think the bowling unit in some time can be sorted. Ishant and Umesh are pure test bowlers, they need not be in ODI's. While Bumrah, Pandya are more ODI friendly I feel.  With Shami around and Varun too, we may have a decent pool of bowlers although none of them are world beaters.

 

Although must confess that I have seen this trend of having great prospects and then they going down south!
