Navdeep Saini bowling with genuine pace now ( Fastest of 152.9 kph )


Recommended Posts

My dear fast bowler Lovers-

 

there is a good news, as soon as Umesh and Varun touched 147 to 148K , they were fast tracked into INDIAN team even when MSD was the captain and though it was foolish of msd to play spinners in england and australia and let young varun sit on the bench.

 

i feel varun being from jharkhand has been victimized and possibly msd messed up his career and also tried to mess up Umesh's career. Umesh was lucky that kohli picked him.

Kohli is regularly playing Saini ahead of Umesh yadav and siraj and even giving him bowling ahead of the other 2 bowlers. he has himself missed a slip catch of the bowling of Saini. I think He appreciates and finds navdeep as a tough bowler and I feel navdeep is definitely going to fly to england.

I hope Saini makes it to the World Cup squad as the 4th pacer ... on 15th April.

 

His express pace, good accuracy, seam movement both ways and nasty bouncers can be very effective in the first 40 overs in ODIs played in England.   And can add a different dimension to our attack.

 

57 wickets from only 37 List A matches ... average 28 ... SR 34 ... Economy rate of 5.01.

 

He is both a wicket taker as well as an economical bowler in the 50 over format.

 

And he has been playing successfully for our A-team for a long time.

 

His death bowling skills may not be proven yet ... but we don't have any other pacer ( who is competing for the 4th pacer's slot  )  who is a good death bowler.

SR of 34, that's outstanding! I hope he makes it to England as a surprise selection.

Bumrah and shammi are stretching themselves in IPL and these 2 are critical. 

I think kl Rahul will bat at no 3 or no 4 which is a better decision than to play vj Shankar at 4.

Kedar at 5..msd at 6 then hardik 3 pacers n Kuldeep. 

The management should immediately take Shami and Bumrah off IPL. India is bigger than IPL.

He has got to be the quickest bowler from India at least in consistency and quickest deliveries in a matches across both teams.  Probably Umesh/Aaron reached higher speed but were not this consistent in hitting 150. Saini is in his prime and should not be wasted, must for WC.

very heartening to see so many names bowling at near-150: saini, umesh, aaron, ishant, shami, bumrah and prasidh.

Ishant and Umesh were outlier deliveries but mostly around 135-145 otherwise. Umesh in fact was in an over where he was being taken apart. 

 

But Saini/Aaron/Shami/Bumrah/Prasidh at 145+ definitely quickest grouping in South Asia all of those -- even folks like Thambi/Warrier/Siraj at 130s to low 140s have been consistent on pace with their normal accuracy rates, with Thambi and Aaron not getting enough games.

yes, I saw those matches. both are not as pacy as they used to be, but they are still capable of consistently bowling in low 140s. and the rest you noted seem to be genuine quicks as of now. if we'd seen mavi and nagarkoti in full form and fintess, would have been even nicer. porel was another promising guy, but last I saw seeing oh him he was bowling in 130s.

yes Avesh,Ankit,Porel,Mavi,Nagar..even Thambi..

 

I am awaiting Avesh/Thambi/Mavi/Nagar to be honest - i think they will be quick in future.

Saini          140 k to 153 k

Bumrah    137 k  to 151 k

Prasidh     137 k to 150 k

Aaron        135 k to 150 k

Shami       135 k to 149 k

 

These were our very quick pacers in this IPL.

Avesh

Mavi

Nagarkoti
