Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[express bowling]

Nasty bouncer by Ishant to Woakes.

[express bowling]

Shami needs to take 5 or 6 wickets in this innings and not be happy with just 3.

Yes but both Ishant and Shami have bowled too many boundary balls.

Shami 

 

Fastest of 145 k and average of 140 k till his 12th over.

 

And 3 wickets in 12 overs.

 

He is only at his best when bowling out and out fast.

every one was criticising Shammi except for me and few other folks- this guy is  Special...a rock star.

 

A 145K ball with a 35 over ball not a brand new ball...

even ishant is bowling well today .. i wont complain as ishant is no anderson that he would generate seam like a leg spinner.

our batsman should have batted better and today conditions are better for Batting as compared to yesterday.

Really missing Umesh Yadav here. Kuldeep getting milked like a cow.

[Nikhil_cric]

Our fast bowlers, including Shami , are too short to get bounce from a good length. Even if they are accurate, they are easier to hit. Contrast that to Woakes - 6'2", Jimmy - 6'2" and. Broad 6'5" and there is just no comparison .

Really missing Bumrah and Bhuvi.

 

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

[Rightarmfast]

How can you compete when you have 3 passenger bowlers in the lineup?

Woakes is around 6'0".  Hussain and Holding were discussing yesterday that a medium height and medium sized guy like Woakes can still get a lot of purchase from the pitch due to rhythm and coordination of bowling action.

 

Ishant is 6'5"  and Hardik 6'1".

 

The batting conditions are far easier today and that has made a big difference.

Yup, apart from Shami who has taken wicket per every 20 runs, the rest have been pathetic given the context of low scoring match. Can't have average and SR so high in low scoring conditions.

Agree. Blunder from the team management.

Shami gets good bounce for his height ... But in England, he has not hit the deck hard as he normally does ... probably due to instructions from coach and co.

 

He is known for his hostile bouncers ... which he uses often in every series ... but we have hardly seen a good bouncer this series. Trying to chsnge bowling styles of bowlers is never a good idea.

[Straight Drive]

One has 46 runs per wicket other has 38 run for a wicket. 2 do not even have wickets.The avg and sr are poor in scheme of things.Now whatever wickets are taken from here has become irrelevant as match is lost with lead of 97.

[Straight Drive]

Ishant 5 for 51 was excellent in terms of average and sr. Shami 3 for 60 is excellent. Think Ashwin was effective I'm similar ways in first test. Those where 3 efficient bowling figures. Apart from that it's been poor.

If the Englands takes the leads of the 150s or mores ... this games is the dones for us barrings the rains.  

[vishalvirsingh]

every one will criticise kuldeep and ashwin but the track has no assistance and spinners will fail here...out team management had to play 4 regular pacers here but only shammi and ishant are holding the work load with hardik supporting..ashwin and kuldeep are ineffective on this track

[Rightarmfast]

Hardik supporting? We needed regular 4 pacers, not a bits and pieces bowler.
