Shami picks up his 3rd wicket but still he is not at his best. He is still slower than his normal pace. He can be even more lethal with that extra pace.

Your best bowler. OP enjoy the greasy humble pie mate.

Yeah he is bowling well but I have seen him bowling even more better on the flat tracks in India. He is capable of much more. 

[King Tendulkar]

If Steyn has bowled like that this morning you guys would all be jizzing in your pants and Steyn thread hailing how great he was would have hit 150 posts lol 

 

self loathing at its best

That's what I am saying. I am a huge fan of Shami and I expect him to do even better. 

[surajmal]

Happy to be proven wrong (since I'm the biggest fan of him on ICF anyways). 

[Lannister]

He was still not at his best, or is that his limitations in overseas conditions? Bumrah's bouncers were sight to behold, while Shami could hardly bowl above Knee level and his speeds were not impressive either. What happened to him? 

But it's fine as long as he get wickets.

[ShebbySB]

Shami was hitting 144-146 kph in SC conditions in his faster test spells.Here he is looking a bit rusty.

Not running in,quite slow run up and not bowling flat out.If u see the speed-gun reading it proves

too.He's around 135 with fasters balls around 142-143 kph.On avg bowling 5 ks slower than his best.

Bowled well today but want to see a fit Shami going all guns blazing.Proteas will not have much answers

to that.

[King Tendulkar]

Well at least can put this thread to bed ! 

 

His spell to destroy de kock was amazing 

[express bowling]

Shami is not at his best in this series. and not bowling at full speed.

 

But still averages 20 with a SR of 39 in this series ... has 9 wickets from 2 tests ....  has a fastest speed of 144 k and average speed of 137 k in the 2nd test.

 

Just shows the quality of this guy.

 

But needs to get fitter .

[maniac]

Shami escapes wrath becaus he has better numbers and also he has had better support but he is like Ishant...terrific in one spell and super ordinary the next.

 

Big question marks on his fitness and also doesn’t look like he can improve it...don’t blame his work ethic but he is one of those who just has that genetic make up I guess.

Shami has a weak core. That is why he gets injured so often, because his core cannot bridge the momentum transfer between his legs & hips (where bowlers generate most of the pace) and his upper body (release position and stuff).

But how does Shami have those much better numbers compared to Ishant in every format ( much better bowling average and SR in every format )  even if we consider the period after Shami's debut, when support has been the same  ?

Because Shami is a better limited overs bowler than Ishant no denying that. 

 

Just doesnt have the consistency or the  fitness to deliver in tests over a period of time ..He is still one of our better options...but he is not a long term solutions...I am a fan of Shami the odi bowler and if we can use him there to get the max out of his LOI career than tests,I am all up for it.

Shami and his rhythym is like a throw of dice, sometimes you get a six, other times you get a one.

But even in tests, Shami has the best SR and 2nd best average ( just 0.22 more than Kapil )  among all Indian pacers in our history with 100+ test wickets.

 

Can't happen without quality.
