Ishant is finally delivering for India...

Well...

 

As a indian fan, It was painful to watch him wither away esp after promising first 2 years.

 

Jason Gillespie mentioned that he is a better version of him. Jason was a very good bowler of Ozzie then.

 

He did everything to loose pace, line and length and became mediacore bowler.

 

Now he has been consistent and sticking to his basics well...

 

He might not take the game away from opposition but he is very consistent and gets his quota of wickets...

Now? Doing it for 4-5 years. Only aberration have been the series vs SA and Aus in India where he took 4 wickets@81 in 6 tests. But he was playing the role of holding one end up bowling long spells without giving much.

 

His record since 2014 is 39 tests, 129 wickets@27. Take out those two series, numbers improve to 33 tests, 125 wickets@25, that’s top class.

 

My only concern is that he will be attacked soon by pace fanatics for not bowling 140+ and there will be calls for him to be dropped for being a trundler.

might end up with a sub 30 bowling average

 

should he achieve that then might just become one of the top 5 indian greats of pace bowling.... 92 test matches played and only 31. 

 

needs 40 more tests to overtake kapil dev in terms of tests played.

Yes, I have been masquerading as a 16 yr blonde chick on my whatsapp and I have messaged Shastri. He has asked me to discuss Ishant's place in the team, over drinks in his hotel room!

While playing in India, Shami has been the best Indian pacer ever in our history.

 

In India it is about reverse swing at skiddy quick pace ... and Shami is an absolute master of that.

Best pacer in history is bit too much , he has just one 5fer (that too in his first test) in 11 tests and 40 in total.

Why are you so concerned?

Shami has the lowest average and lowest strike rate among all Indian pacers in ouf history, while bowling in India. ( minimum 20 wickets )

 

 

Sample size is too small and one 5fer does not say he is outright match winner.It just shows he is a good support bowler in India.I don't mind him playing in India at all.But I would like Saini to get a chance also.

One 5fer is the result of him not getting that many overs in most matches in India.  He missed a couple of green tops due to injury.

 

Shami and Saini would be my preferred picks vs Bangladesh.  

 

Bumrah and Shami vs SA.

Both Siraj and Saini should debut vs BD. If Siraj does not get his chance vs BD, then all these India A matches should be discontinued. The guy must have picked some 75-80 FC wickets for A side in last 15 months. Makes no sense if such a performance does not earn you a test cap.
