Mosher Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Kudos to Gambhir for supporting Saini and bringing him into the Delhi team when everyone was against his inclusion. Have to say Gambhir has a keen eye for spotting talent. speedheat, Pollack, express bowling and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 1 hour ago, Mosher said: This is some top class bowling by Saini. Pace, bounce, accuracy, seam movement both ways, reverse swing and maintaining good intensity even in the last spell of the day. This guy is a complete package. The most impressive thing about him is the zip the ball gets after pitching. Saini is certainly knocking at the doors if not selected it will be huge disappoint ment on selectors part.He reminds me of a Dale Steyn bowling with pace clocked 144k today which is clearly 147-148 k on loi speedguns...Selectors should take note of this ..this can be era defining moment for India ....a good pool of genuine fast bowlers who can make India one of the greatest when unleashed I pray selectors notice this lot of fast bowlers ThePhenomenal1, express bowling, Rightarmfast and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment
putrevus Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Sustaining speeds for length of period is still a foreign thing to many Indian bowlers.Saini might be good but who is he replacing in the squad???? Edited December 19, 2017 by putrevus Link to comment

If I was a selector , I am picking Yadav for SA tour for sure. I don't think selection for SA in my view is wrong.Just saw highlights of Saini and I will still pick Yadav. if the ball does not swing what will Saini do what are his other weapons, I don't think he has more pace than Yadav. Is it SG ball they are using or Kookaburra. If Saini whose odd ball touched 144 is genuine pace what is pace of Cummins, Starc and Hazelwood called.

puneet28 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Just watched the highlights. What I really liked Saini got all of his wickets as bowled. This is really good to know and seems like he is a thinking bowler. We have something similar in Shami. I just hope Indian selectors choose him in right format, which is test. We can hope of him getting selected for English tour. On contrary, Saini will now get huge sum in IPL auction, will be over-bowled there which can affect his bowling. express bowling and Rightarmfast 1 1 Link to comment

Forever Indian Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 He bowled brilliantly against Aussies in the practise game as well where he go Warner with a bouncer and Renshaw caught at slips. You can see the two dismissals at 0:43 and 1:36 in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX-nW27CAow He seams the ball both ways even in India, imagine what he can do in overseas conditions with his pace and extra bounce.

renjith Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Worst fear is selectors picking this guy for t20. If selecting he must be picked for tests. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Currently, we pick bowlers in shorter format and then graduate them to tests, which proves wrong for some bowlers. See Siraj. He was carted away in his debut match, but had he been tested against Sri Lanka in tests, it would have boosted his confidence. I can't get we played likes of Abhimanyu Mithun and Vinay Kumar (Vinay debuted in Perth) in tests as debut but these better prospects are thrown to T20s. Something really wrong there in management or selectors. At most, they should start with ODIs where bowlers have some relief. Similarly in batting, Pant was given opportunity at number 5/6 in T20s whereas had he given ODI cap before that, results could have been different because new player can have more time to adjust in international arena.

Jimmy Cliff Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Don't wanna hype up the guy too much but watching the dismissals reminded me of Steyn's masterclass in Nagpur . express bowling and Mosher 1 1 Link to comment
Temujin Khaghan Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I watched a little bit of the match and it seems to me that he is cleverer than both Ishant and Umesh like at this moment if kohli takes a spot decision during a break from his honeymoon and wants to play the uncapped Navdeep as third seamer ahead of Ishant and shami for the saffer tests, I would completely agree.

Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood were mostly bowling in 138-144 k range too. He did the same too. Link to comment
chapetmarunga Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) ^ Yeah good point Temujin, ATM Kohli is honeymooning, Shastri is probably drunk & selectors have already selected a squad for SA tour. And delhi dont have a cheerleading squad like Mumbai do. Even if he performs well in the finals, it will not be noticed. So he'll have to keep performing in this manner.
