Trichromatic Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Ishant has no surprises. Captain knows what to expect for him and finally he is gaining some consistency in last 4 years. 29 matches, 86 wickets at avg of 30.6 with 4 5-fers - in last 4 years. Umesh - He did well in Aus series last time and apart from he has been off most of the time. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Cricket_Fan Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Ishant is a tireless workhorse and is a much better bowler now. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
LORD_analyst Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 ishant bowling much better than umesh in afg test......umesh disapointing with his 135ks speed and leg stump line. Link to comment
Forever Indian Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Kick both these out and get Saini in. Link to comment

chewy Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Umesh Yadav Ishant is hopeless, an IPL reject adi B, rahulrulezz and Laaloo 3 Link to comment
rahulrulezz Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Umesh Yadav. Not even a doubt. Ishant has bowled in 7 overseas tours and played more than 15 test matches in overseas green conditions, and only game he ever win for us as a frontline fast bowler was Lords. Ishant is a brain dead guy. Laaloo, chewy, saik and 1 other 4 Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I think i have shocked myself but i would pick Umesh for the first test,he complements Bhuvi and Bumrah better. vishalvirsingh, rahulrulezz and Forever Indian 1 2 Link to comment
Forever Indian Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 If I get my hand tied and had a bomb under my a*se asking to pick either of Ishant or Umesh, I would probably pick Umesh. But that's only bcos Ishant is that crap. Link to comment
vishalvirsingh Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Umesh is my choice too, though Ishant is also bowling well. rahulrulezz 1 Link to comment
ShebbySB Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Ishant anyday.BK,Bumrah and Ishant will be my 3 seamers for first test in England given Shami is not selected. I'd pick him over Umesh and Saini. Laaloo, sarcastic, vishalvirsingh and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment
Vilander Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Umesh clearly on wicket taking ability. Ishant is a good containing bowler, but we need more than that. vishalvirsingh 1 Link to comment
The Dark Horse Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Umesh, because Ishant can only bowl in swingers. You need outswingers to win in England. adi B and vishalvirsingh 2 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Want to see Umesh a little more with his remodeled action,he seems to have dropped a yard of pace ,given his habit of getting erratic is not going to help either..well Ishant is Ishant "unlucky" so time to look for someone beyond these two,they had their due but were not able to use those opportunities...so why not try some rookie,the best is Saini.. Can't we start a debate on this?? saik 1 Link to comment

Ishant is a good containing bowler, but we need more than that. ishant creates a bit of fear factor owing to his bounce capability as compared to Umesh but with bhuvi and bumrah being the other two bowlers, bumrah will do the creating dear JOB as good as Ishant so we need BHuvi as wrecker in chief with the New Ball and Umesh as the wicket taker with the Semi new ball too and he can go berserk with the old ball and try to generate pace and reverse swing..my three pacers would be bhuvi bumrah Umesh. If bumrah is not playing then ISHANT is a must. My attack would definitely have Kuldeep and three pacers bhuvi bumrah umesh and Hardik. but if the pitch Looks totally a GREEN top prepared to nullify the Spinner then i would prefer to play bumrah umesh saini bhuvi and NO SPINNER and NO hardik too, with karthik as keeper and 6 batsman , we will have enough batting followed by bhuvi the all rounder, if we have saha then our batting may look weak but Karthik is a good batsman and definitely way ahead of Saha in batting Skills and he was decent as a keeper in this test and did not drop a Single Catch. i did not like his Pace bowling( of Hardik) in the test match against Afghanisthan, he could not take even a single wicket where as he bowled 5 overs in first innings and 4 overs in second innings against a test team who had seriously bad batting technique. AS a test Pacer , he looked very Bad..his pace was low , he had no swing , not even good bouncers, looked as if he did not practice fast bowling well. had he failed as a batsman , every one would have started going behind him, just that he was Looking very Good as a batsman and that's the beauty of an all rounder, he can cover up in the other art. But as a Pacer he was awful in this test. Vilander and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
Vilander Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 /\ true hardick is disappointing as a pacer. How will he bat overseas is the question. Not happy with Ash bowling as well last test and his batting has regressed too. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
adi B Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Umesh ,he has better control now and can bowl decent with the new ball in English condition Mosher 1 Link to comment
Lala2790 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Ishant should be playing masters cricket in some English county out of sight of cricket fans for ever The Unrealist 1 Link to comment
