Texan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 5 wickets total in his last 5 Tests. Overall bowling average of 37 even after playing 70 Tests. Can't bat. Not a great fielder. What exactly is he doing in the team? tweaker and AuxiliA 2 Link to comment
tweaker Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 He is ready to jump from sky scrapper for his captain,first Dhoni & now Kohli. adi B, Mosher, sscomp32 and 6 others 9 Link to comment
tweaker Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 He has not improved even after playing 70 tests,he is still playing like a rookie bowler velu 1 Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Apart from match winning performances here and there, his wicket taking ability is not much than a decent part timer. 2 wickets per match. That's all he can manage most of the time which is not the role of your most experienced front line bowler. He has picked 20% of his wickets in 7 innings and remaining 80% in 116 innings. dapedbus, tweaker and G_B_ 2 1 Link to comment
MechEng Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 He does have the ability to bowl long pressure spells to unsettle well set batsmen. Zaheer Khan was different bowler after playing a county season, Ishant must try the same. tweaker 1 Link to comment
Lannister Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 He is just a waste of time. He was never able to learn the art of bowling on the off-stumps. Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Nothing bowler seriously..Was good when he debuted..I will be embarrased when he will play his 100th test. tweaker 1 Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Unfortunately wont be kicked out as his best friend is captain. tweaker 1 Link to comment
The Realist Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Too many words have been wasted on this fraud who in games/years played v actual output/results has to be one of the worst performing in world sport. A picture says a thousand words... King Tendulkar, G_B_, AuxiliA and 6 others 9 Link to comment
mishra Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) They were showing the bowling graph. He was bowling everything around 2 feet wide off off stump and shortish length. I just cant understand why cant he bowl with his body 1 feet closer to stump and just land the ball in the line of off stump.

Adi_91 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 He is there because he is an 'unlucky' bowler, so no blame lies with him. Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Same as of Pujara - wasting balls by bowling outside off Whats the use of such a good height and exp of 70 test. WI were bowling same lines to make our batsman not score runs but why was he bowling same lines. DEFENSIVE MINDSET- "AGAR RUN PADD GAYE TO" vishalvirsingh and kruiser 2 Link to comment
Laaloo Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Such a poor bowler. You expect better performances after playing 70 tests. Link to comment
zep1706 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Ishant Sharma is quite possibly the worst player to play 70 test matches in the history of the game and at this rate he will play 100 tests soon. IMO he is just not good enough and once in a bluemoon performances should not keep him in the side. The guy lacks a cricketing brain and that's his main problem. Otherwise he had all the ingredients to be a very good bowler. He does not even get injured too often which is rare for Indian quicks. Unfortunately that is one problem which is almost impossible to solve. Edited August 4, 2016 by zep1706 adi B, G_B_ and tweaker 3 Link to comment
gattaca Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Ishant just does has a brian. He changed his action based on Zaheer action then dhoni asked to bowl bouncers in champions trophy he did. Now may be after watching videos of windies bowling he is bowling 2 ft outside off. @maniac Link to comment
Laaloo Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 70 test matches and 205 wickets at S/R of 67.5 is unacceptable especially when most of those wickets are against the Windies and he has played so many overseas tests. velu, tweaker and Mosher 3 Link to comment

Unfortunately that is one problem which is almost impossible to solve. The reason he doesn't get injured is because he tries to preserve himself while bowling. When he gave his true 100% by bowling bouncers at Lords, he got injured. So now he has learnt to bowl within himself. And why does he even need to bowl at 100% when even bowling at 50% keeps him in the team. tweaker and zep1706 2 Link to comment
