This will be one of the best series of Umesh Yadav's career

[rtmohanlal]

Umesh is not at all a test level bowler  by any stretch, just like Ishant. But it seems ENG conditions are made for him. Similarly Ishant too seems to have ENG conditions as his suited ones and seems to bowl a lot fuller off late too.Hence think both will come good.

[cowboysfan]

He may be better but we will miss Bhuvi very much, none of the present bowlers has his ability to run through sides with swing.

[Tibarn]

I think he is too far at the bottom of the totem pole to think that he will lead the entire series in wickets. I think Bumrah is a guaranteed pick when he comes back healthy, and then the other two fast bowler spots are between the other 4: Shami, Ishant, Umesh, Bhuvi. He will probably perform well in the chances he gets, provided the pitches are conducive to swing, but if such a pitch pops up, he may cede his position to BK who he has basically formed a platoon with: Umesh plays on flat/dry/bouncy pitches while BK plays on green/moist/overcast conditions.

He will do well but methinks this series will see the rebirth of Lord Ishant, from here on he is the new Gillespie of world cricket.

Will he score a double?

BK is out, unlikely come back this series.

Best time to test Saini and Siraj was against Afghans, the selectors ruined the chance they got,home conditions ,weak opponent,we could have got glimpse of their lengths in intl match....but still Siraj is a must(deserves)

For the first test

Umesh

Ishant

Shami

Umesh likes bowling the" heavy ball " ,he'll absolutely enjoy the duke ball in his hand and can exploit the reverse swing when on offer ,perfect bowler for the duke ball .

He has improved his consistency in the last 1-2 years 

[Lannister]

In a way it's good that Bumrah and Bhuvi are out so we can test out our bench strength and identify the free loaders with in this squad.

if he can avoid those leg side freebies ....he'll be the best indian pacer on sight.

That is fortunate for Umesh in a sense then, if BK is out the whole series. If we get a totally green pitch, we may leave out a spinner and play all four of Bumrah/Shami/Ishant/Umesh with Pandya the 5th bowling option.

[Suhaan]

In simple words we should prepare atleast 2 pacers who can take  place of first choice pacers at short notice in case of injury or bad form..we are left with situations like the current one ,where the management is scared to try promising newbies like Saini,Siraj,Rajpoot etc..these bowlers ahould have been given chance long time back,its not we were dismantling lineups regularly with our pacers,Ishant was always a candidate to remove,though he is bowling tight lengths these days,but quite truly they have quashed numerous opportunities they got before

No  we had only one brainless gawaar in the team who never understood technology  in drs, nowadays doesn't understand social media... He retired way back in december 2014 from test matches... You know who it is..

thank god, we got rid of that dummy  

[bhakum20]

Oh man, rooting for this guy has been so painful. I get so scared every time he comes in to bowl, you just automatically start praying that he doesn’t bowl down the leg side.

 

Most unpredictable bowler of all time, rivaling the great Ajit Agarkar.

 

I’ve no idea how he’ll do in this series, I just wish he rips the eng boys apart.

The only thing he is consistent in is inconsistency :P

 

But yeah he’ll relish bowling with the big fat seam
