Problem is they are braindead

 

People here get orgasm over pace but if you're dumbmo point

But pace Kahan hai? Both bowling 135 kph that's not pace. Shami bowled pace and he troubled them.

[Straight Drive]

This is not our main bowling attack, is it. Bhuvi and Bumrah would have made this look much better for us. Probably we are expecting too much from our B level bowling attack. Bhuvi should have rested by not playing IPL second half. He had a niggle then which may have aggravated.

one ball that umesh got wicket was 139.x so there is some apprehension problem here for Yadav... No pace and he is nothing.

That’s not convincing. He got a lucky wicket...

Luck ho ya unlucky. We badly need wickets with Bhuvi and Bumrah not available. Retired hurt bhi chalega.

Many of our wickets are lucky, Shami's 1st of Jennings, Root runout, 

 

we also had an unlucky drop off Ishant by our best fielder Rahane

 

we have to take what we can get on a patta like this I think

Add Ash's wicket of Stokes as another lucky wicket

[diga]

Somebody bump the unlucky Ishant thread

[Straight Drive]

3 for Ashwin

1 run out for Virat

2 for Shami

1 for Umesh Yadav

Ishant is usually consistent, at least in last 3-4 years but not today

Yes, consistent in being thoroughly mediocre support bowler. Most of his tight overs were due to batsman intentionally leaving outside offstump deliveries in order to take some time to settle in. They can take his class whenever they want. He is worse support bowler ever. 

[Lannister]

I think it's time to move on from these two. I don't think they will learn the true art of bowling in test cricket. Get the likes of Saini, Siraj and Rajpoot in place of these two. 

[Pollack]

And btw Umesh is not a support bowler. He is a strike bowler. Agreed he has been disappointing and has never lived to our expectations. Time to move on from Ishant, Umesh and even bhuvi from tests to be honest.

Even when we have 2 bowlers bowling well, you have Umesh, Ishant and Pandya totally sucking doing bare minimum job.

 

Umesh has been spray gun for long time, but this time he has cut down speed and still bowling crap.

 

Ishant is usually consistent, at least in last 3-4 years but not today.

 

Unsure of role of Pandya.

Ishant has given a good chance earlier in the day but what can he do if the best fielder spills a catching chance. 

Eventually with the help of DRS, he could get a wicket. The bowler who needs to support main bowlers also need support!!

Arey @Pollack is there any current Indian cricketer you rate ? I thought I was pessimistic but tu toh next level nikla !!!

Pandya's been actually decent as 5th bowler.  Umesh was the biggest disappointment.  Ishant as usual has been ok as a 3rd pacer, but unable to "spearhead" anything other than farts.  

true, the question shud be raised on ishant n umesh who were bowlers n didnt do their job

[Ankit_sharma03]

lets not bring buvi n bumrah in btw, they wnt be avl all the time.....n their form will also change

But its good these are getting a chance to show n on Day-1 they were exposed ...........Its time Indian cricket shud come to take a call on them specially Ishant.....

Earlier they use to be changed after one game n hence we never got to knw either they are capable to lead an attack....

 

Indian cricket has so much talent in fast bowling, its time we decide were to go with both of them

[chewy]

just makes you  whenever  Ishant is inplaying XI, amazes how selectors keep picking this hopeless bowler on “height”

 

Yadav can have his moments, but playing him and Ishant together and bowling lineup is handicapped 

[coffee_rules]

He would not have been picked if B&B were not injured. Unlucky for Bumrah, he missed out on LOIs as well.

[rtmohanlal]

why surprised here????both Umesh and Ishant have been always mediocre as their records suggest.Infact was really surprised when both of them were played in this test.Kuldeep should have been in the eleven  in place of  either one of them. Never play both of them unless  the pitch and the conditions ask to do so.They are very one dimensional bowlers.

[rtmohanlal]

the basic problem of not ' keeping on trying talented youngsters  in dead rubbers, against lower ranked teams, at home matches  etc etc until  far more calibre seam bowlers are unearthed'. That's why still the team is forced to play these 2 proven prolonged mediocrities, this time  both at the same time.When Shami,Bhuvi( atleast under 30 avg:ing bowlers) & Bumrah(very high potential) are not available 

together , team is forced to pick both these hacks together.

Passionate team supporters  need to pour in some sense into those 2 idiots( egoistic Kohli &  oppertunistic Sastri) w.r.t this basic matter.After all these are the time periods of social media and all.

Saw highlights...Too many balls going down leg

[Suhaan]

Umesh is nothing without pace and Ishant is a genuine nothing,last time they bowled well was against visiting Aussies the reason is they bowled with pace....

Without pace ,they are the Jay and Viru who are chopping their captains hands

Those who say people here get over excited when they see pace ,need to look the highlights of yesterday ,were these guys bowling at full steam??they were just lifeless..
