Siraj - not impressed

[Mosher]

Its just his 1st game. T20 is a tough format for a youngster to debut in. But yeah lets send him back to the domestics based on one game.

Its his first game but geez the hype was so unwarranted .

Not only is he very raw and undercooked he is also pretty pedestrian in pace .

Fahim ashraf the allrounder from Pakistan is a couple of yards quicker.. 

Tone down the hype .

Your bowlers trundle in tests 118 to 132..Hardik hits 145 in tests. Don't come on here and talk pace..lol

First impressions. Young lad. Not international quality yet. Too raw. Can't bowl to a line and length. Probably needs to go back to domestics and fine tune.

You can't bowl line and length in t20 anyway.

Hyped like ICF has always done to some players.. hope he gets better with time

Hope so because can instantly tell that he is the sort of guy who will rely on air speed. 

You are correct.

 

Siraj picks up loads of wickets on A-tours, IPL and domestic cricket with the full, fast in-dipping ball ... after setting him up with a rising ball.

 

Did not see either the rising ball or full fast ball today.

 

Totally out of rhythm.

He is always expensive. But he failed to pick up wickets as well. It was road so can't blame him completely.

But he was bowling half volleys and fulltosses.

And he was not quite hitting the deck. Check out how Bumrah was still able to hit the deck.

Yes that was the problem. He is actually tried to bowl line length, slow balls but slow balls didn't work on this pitch. This pitch had some bounce. His inexperience was showing today. He was slower than usual and didn't hit the deck.

He was too emotional, team management need to stick with him. I am sure he can come up better. If we can try the likes of Vinay Kumar, Abhimanyu Mithun, Ashok Dinda, Ambati Rayadu and so, then these young prospects such as Siraj and Iyer must be given longer rope. 

[MCcricket]

First of all only retarded selectors would pick a young debutant in T20, next the worst deck possible, the kid has promise n bowls 140 ish, some chewts here just pass judgements, he needs more exposure.

[renjith]

he is a good bowler and will definitely bowl better once he plays more matches. yesterday emotions of making india debut got the better of him. am expecting him to be a regular in odi.

[Rightarmfast]

Judging a bowler based on one match is ridiculous. And that too, a T20? Give him some time to settle down. Indian bowlers get better with time. They dont have great mentors telling them what to do.

[Straight Drive]

Terrible figures (1/53) in yesterdays match. But just his first international match. This tonking will actually help him that he has to think how differently he has to bowl at international level than in domestic matches. Reality check will help.

Actually, Siraj bowled differently yesterday than he usually bowls in domestic matches and got his success.

 

He did not bowl as quickly and did not hit the deck hard enough yesterday.

[rkt.india]

The only advice I have for him is accurate pace is his friend. Don't bowl slow intentionally. This is what Bumrah did yesterday. Was hitting 90 mph.

Watch this video from 0.24.00 ( ball-by-ball first spell )

 

Siraj is bowling against SA A, a few months back, on a track that is not the fastest.

 

But the batsmen are hurried, beaten for pace and jumping at times.

 

He needs to bowl  like this.

 

He perhaps wrongly thought that yesterday's pitch was a slow one and cut down his pace and used lots of slower ones.

 

I hope Arun and the team management guide him on this issue with understanding.

Bumrah has become a very smart bowler nowadays. He read the conditions well. The pitch was not gripping, our spinners went for runs.

 

So, he went for raw pace and bounce off length.

 

This is where the team seniors should have guided young Siraj ..... about the pitch type.

Economy is always his problem, even in IPL. But yesterday it got worse because he was not effective with wickets column as well.

This guy is a very good bowler and will play for India for very long....
He seems super fit.....
He has everything a bowler needs...
First match....that too T20....super flat....it's nerves..

He is not ready yet....but good enough to debut....may be in an year he will be our rabada
