Gollum Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Can a mid-30s pacer bowl 135 k to 145 k / 147 k throughout the day in test matches, like the way Shami has done in 2016 and 2017 ? 145/147 k is effort ball yaar, Shami most operates in the 135-138 zone. Moreover since 2015 he has been playing only 1 format, that too on and off because of injury. Edited April 29, 2018 by Gollum UrmiSinhaRay and LORD_analyst 1 1 Link to comment

express bowling Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) 145/147 k is effort ball yaar, Shami most operates in the 135-138 zone No. In 2016 and 2017, Shami's most common deliveries have been 137 k to 143 k ... with effort balls at 144 k to 147 k. He bowled a bit slower only in the S.A. test series 2018, when he was obviously focused on other issues. . Moreover since 2015 he has been playing only 1 format, that too on and off because of injury. When that 1 format is test matches, it is still very difficult for a 35 year old.

velu Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 what is dhoni's real age? age is just a number for him runs twice faster than your hitman AK007, Switchblade, Garuda and 2 others 5 Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 No way his real age is 36. He can be max 32, it's very difficult for a guy like him to bowl at high speeds after mid thirties. Suhaan, MCcricket, Garuda and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

Yes. Wahab has been doing it for a while, and there’s no way in this world that man is 32; I mean look at his hairline. Edited April 29, 2018 by Ellipsism Link to comment
Stradlater Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Yes. Wahab has been doing it for a while, and there’s no way in this world that man is 32; I mean look at his hairline. When was the last time he bowled in the longer format? Shami is our prime pacer in tests and played a huge role in winning the last test match in South Africa. Link to comment

Shami is our prime pacer in tests and played a huge role in winning the last test match in South Africa. He last played against SL in the UAE. In 2016-17 he was consistently 140+, and no one is going to make me believe he was only 30. Edited April 30, 2018 by Ellipsism Link to comment

Wahab's pace has been fluctuating a lot in test matches in the last 2 years. While he has bowled some really quick balls ... he was often seen bowling 130 k to 137 k spells in test matches.

He seems to have regained his mojo since then, and did clock 153 km/h in the PSL. Edited April 30, 2018 by Ellipsism Link to comment

He seems to have regained his mojo since then, and did clock 153 km/h in the PSL. Wahab's ability to bowl some really fast balls is unquestionable. But, the point we were discussing was whether a 35 + guy can sustain high speeds throughout the day in test matches. Wahab ( who is probably 35+ ) has bowled some really quick balls in tests ... but has not been able to sustain those speeds throughout the day in tests in the last 2 years ( which is natural for his age ) Edited April 30, 2018 by express bowling Link to comment
rkt.india Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Has he misused age in lower levels of cricket to get selected ? he did not play age group cricket. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Moreover since 2015 he has been playing only 1 format, that too on and off because of injury. Mitch Johnson at the age of 36 is struggling to cross 140K in IPL. Brett Lee whose peak pace was 155K used to bowl his effort bowl at 145K when he was 36. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

If you started checking hairlines of bongs, all guys in 20s will appear to be in 40s. @Malcolm Merlyn Stradlater, Stuge, kira and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment
