Solid bowler was averaging 50 on flat tracks in 2017 before one good series. Did nothing after that again

Does not help if you slip fielder drop 10-12 catches a series.

 

 

Bhuvis catches were dropped too. Excuses

Update from BCCI on Shami: "Mohammed Shami had a mild headache. He went back to the dressing room for some treatment. He is fit and fine now."

Time to replace him with Umesh in next match. Ideally, Umesh should have played this match as he is a solid test bowler on flat tracks. Next match won't be on a flat track. SA have planned it smartly. 

Umesh is useless

Frontline seamer Sami bowled 11 overs the whole day and went 4.2 runs an over

And people were asking for his inclusion in all formats 

 

Ive always said he has fitness issues and is best suited for Only for format - Tests 

[chewy]

Another let down in 1st innings, gone AWOL,  so frustrating. 

Hope he comes stronger like last time in 2nd innings

He has been a huge letdown this series.

He was my second favourite bowler in the team 

Hope he gets over whatever his problem is.

Looks more of a mental problem than fitness. I don’t see any intent in his bowling.

Nothing....every thing is down

[Shunya]

I guess Kaptaan Agressive gave him too much confidence that he is not able to sustain....

He is definitely late 30s. Horrible fitness ....

[Suhaan]

I think before Steyn we will see Shami retiring

[Suhaan]

Shami should be sent home.Navdeep Saini should be sent as replacement fear selectors might opt for great Trundnatkat..

[Samcric]

A fit Shami would have made such a difference. Imagine Shami at his peak when South Africa were 12/3. This is not the Shami we know, he is definitely playing with an injury.

What a cruel joke played on Indian fans.

 

Bowled 145 on indian tracks getting the ball to talk, only to trundle in SA.

 

Why did Kohli select him if he was this unfit? Damn.

Shami seems to be one of those bowlers who does well at home, but is not good outside.

 

In sub-continent, Shami's bowling average is 23. Outside SC, his bowling average swells to over 37. Clear case of ability to bowl only in home conditions. There have been many Indian pacers who are only good in SC before, so not surprising.

Can't judge like that. Last tour Shami was nowhere as good.

 

Now Shami is unfit.

If he is unfit, why is he playing? There is no record of him being unfit before this match or during this innings. What injury does he have? When he bowls badly why do you assume he is unfit or "nowhere as good"?

When a 140 bowler bowls crap, he sprays.

 

He doesn't start trundling out of the blue, then bowls a few overs with pace and then trundles.

 

That alone is enough to tell us that he isn't 100%.

 

Now Kohli has to answer why he picked him.
