Siraj - not impressed

The TM should tell Siraj to target the top of off stump and bowl ...  till the 40th over.

 

Use the bouncer or the short balls only as surprise weapons.

 

Trying too many variations, during the first 40 overs, has been the bane of most young quicks who have debuted in the last 12 months.

 

This is where some guidance is needed.

I think Siraj answered his critiques very well with the perfomances.

Many of you predicted that he is a better test match bowler than a LoI bowler.

With age and maturity, now he is looking to become future spearhead for India's test bowling.

Saini wasn't able to get enough wickets last IPL. Good move by RCB management to drop him and pick Siraj. Atleast Siraj is picking lots of wickets. Probably the top wicket taker in RCB?


That would be Harshal Patel :giggle:

I understand he is tired/injured etc but the moment he came to bowl today, he looked like a run leaker and leak he did. Bowled India out of the match whatever slim chances India had at that time. Probably should have been brought back when the situation was still not that good for South Africa.

Just one bad match and you felt like bumping this, huh!

Sure, I was a bit harsh to bump this. Got frustrated by that 16 run over and that he could not bowl much of the match.

 

He is a tremendous prospect but he cannot go unfit during a test match/series too often as that will create issues for the team composition. I think the same happened in the England tour too.


Hope he gets the right physical conditioning and sorts these fitness issues.

his fitness is a problem. I am wondering how long a test career he can sustain.

He did better in A serieses in fitness. He has to follow Shami in conditioning, diet etc

Hmm he's ok but has a limited skillset, poor fitness and is a liability when fielding.

 

He's turning 28 soon. Will struggle to be anything more than an average bowler at international level.

Averaging 29 with ball, soon his average will go over 32+ after few more matches.

Don't worry. 26 year old shaheen will go down too in 2 years.
