Kohli - our fast bowling captain.

We are going back to era where Prabhakar , Bangar, Ganguly  were bowling opening spells in some or other formats.

[Suhaan]

Too much of a power given to a monkey will fetch you results like these ......not glory

[Straight Drive]

This is why we need specialist pacers in England and atleast 3 of them 

 

Woakes 84, Bairstow 83 in these conditions when one team was bowled for 107.

Kohli is still a fast bowlers' captain. We have seen him use 2 fast bowlers in tests in Asia with regularity and reaping the rewards too.

 

Problem is ... he is also a very " reactive captain "  ( we see how he changes fields frequently and places fielders where the last ball went )   and not the brightest bulb in the pack. But he enjoys complete power.

 

Ashwin does well last match ... Bumrah and Bhuvi not present ... so he plays 2 spinners in this match irrespective of conditions.

 

Frankly speaking ... it is quite clear that he does not have confidence in either Umesh or Shardul ... so why not pick a Siraj  !!

Our fast bowlers are bottlers. They have bottled second game in a row after taking top five wickets for not much.

Precisely this. Batsmen did bad but they were up against cluderson on a cloudy day. But England get to face bottler Indian bowlers who cannot keep the intensity for an entire innings.

You need to play or be able to play multiple low average pacers to take wickets fast outside Asia.

 

Bumrah and Bhuvi are missing due to injury and only Shami is there.

 

Should have picked Siraj.

 

Can't expect Ishant, Umesh and Pandya to pick wickets with regularity.

Didnt they bowl consistantly well in SA? Bowled too many boundary balls today. If nothing was going their way, atleast could have stemmed the flow of runs by bowling wide of offstump and employing a 6-2 field.

Really missing Bumrah and Bhuvi.

 

Shami, Bumrah and Bhuvi would have made our bowling attack look completely different.

Yeah but England us not a place to play 2 spinners no matter what. He should have trusted Umesh with the new ball and hoped for the best.

Woakes has major issues against the short ball. 

 

On their tour to India, Woakes had a tough time against hostile bouncers by Shami and got out too. Other teams have targeted him similarly.

 

Yesterday, one bouncer by Ishant had him in a tangle. But we did not really try thic tactic on Woakes and he took the game away.

 

Poor planning I would say.  Bowling coach and coach should have these tactics ready.

The Most surprising thing, was last time Ishant won us the lord test by bowling bouncers only, how can he forget that.

Ishant forgot what fetched him 5 wickets last match last innings. 

 

4 years is a long time.

 

He should write things down on his body.

Exactly !

[express bowling]

Botham praising Shami's pace and skiddiness again and again.

[Mosher]

That was a brilliant over from Shami. Too good for Woakes. 

[express bowling]

Shami bowls an amazing over.  

 

4 jaffas.

 

Don't know how Woakes survived.

[express bowling]

How has Shami not got a wicket this morning !!

 

Has bowled 7 or 8 jaffas and bowling an amazing line and length at skiddy pace with seam movement.
