Question :  What is slower than Unadkat's delivery  ?

 

Very tough one, I know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer  :   Unadkat's next  slowER   delivery     :phehe:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unadkat was giving the ball plenty of air to get some purchase out of the wicket. Champion Spinner!

Gavaskar on air said something like bowlers are encouraged to bowl 140+ , something like that .. I tuned in a little late so is it right what I heard?

Gavaskar said something to the effect that ... it is heartening to see that every IPL team has a young Indian bowler bowling 140+.

 

Proving the adage ...  If you can't beat them then join them.    :agree:    (  as too many foreign and younger Indian commentators are praising the speeds of Indian fast bowlers there days )

Fastest balls by Indians till the 15 th of May  

 

(  I don't  know whether I am right in assuming that Unadkat won't bowl anything quicker today   :p:  )

 

Mavi         149.9 k

Siraj          149.9 k

Sran          149.3 k  **

Avesh       149.1 k

Umesh      149.0 k

Bumrah    148.2 k

Kaul          147.7 k  **

Prasidh    146.3 k

Shami       146.3 k

Hardik      145.0 k

 

**    These deliveries by Sran and Kaul have been much quicker than their usual fastest balls of the match.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is this barrier of touching 150. Is there a code written to stop them from touching 150?

Bumrah   4th over

 

Slower    yorker

145 k ...  good yorker

Slower ...   Rahul OUT

146 k  ... attempted yorker

148 k ...  hard length 

146 k

 

 

3 for 15 from 4 overs ... in a critical match

 

Brilliant  !

 

And really high  pace !

uvraj did not touch few balls in the 19th over ..he behaved as if he has some eyesight issue and is not able to catch that Pace.

actually after this game uvraj's career is done and dusted even in domestic cricket.

i have to stand and bow down to Bumrah...this guy is India's no 1 bowler and i knew he would be played in african tests and he played all, even now in england he will be our main no 1 fast bowler.

 

In one way, it is also due to education. The likes of Umesh and Shami, who are skilled but do not come from the same background and do not have education are behind because they have lacked the intellect that Bumrah possesses. 

While Bumrah may not have the skill and guile of Umesh and Shami, he has a thinking brain. And he uses that.

 

Ironically, Aaron is also one who is well educated, polished, yet couldn't make it to the top.

Why do say Umesh is not educated? He may not have a great English, but he was studying in college and playing  university cricket cricket and then former Vidarbha cricketer Pritam Gandhe saw him bowl in Club cricket.  Gandhe was Vidarbha captain when Umesh made his FC debut.

Apologies. I didnt mean that Umesh is not educated. I merely said he is not as polished as say someone like bumrah. And that does make a difference.

Bumrah is a smart kid. Had Dhoni dared speak against Bumrah the way he did against Umesh,  I bet there would be consequences. But a choot like Dhoni was able to put such players down because he was able to play his mindgames.
