Sustaining pace

[vvvslaxman]

One interesting thing everyone noticed was how our bowlers were able to sustain their pace all day. In the past lot of matches went the other way after initial burst due to this. Dale Steyn always had this habit of coming really hard at the opposition in the third session when opposition usually hopes to make some easy runs.  Hope this trend continues. Breathing fire in all the sessions.  We have been doing that for a while. A reason why we make miraculous comebacks in recent days. With lot of bench strength we don't have to be worried about unexpected injuries to bowlers.

Indian fast bowlers have been sustaining pace the whole day in test matches ... from mid 2015 Sri Lanka tour.

 

So, 3 years now.

 

This is also the time period in which India have been taking 20 wickets in almost all test matches, irrespective of conditions.

Yes, everytime the English commies said that Indian pacers were faster than English in this series, there was a hushed silence! And then they would talk about spin quartet and how Gavaskar/Solkar used to open the bowling. They are in denial.

That is causing a lot of butthurt there. They have gone from "pace is pace yaar" to "but Abbas is the beshtt bowler and he is slower than all bowlers"

Indian and RCB  Strength Conditioning coach Shanker Basu is the man! Bhuvi has attributed his increase in pace to him and even Rajneesh Gurbani is working with him to up his pace . It is no magic that folks like Avesh Khan, Khalil Ahamed and even Deepak Chahar who were trundlers few years back are now bowling in 140s. A proper system is in place and it is bearing the results now

indian bowlers are not menacing or scary, just that they can sustain their pace for whole day unlike our scary mard e momins trundling at 135 kph.

[prudent_kreeda]

In that respect Shami was good in last 2 sessions , bit wayward but was clocking  140 + even at the fag end of the day.  Really intesne stuff. 

Shami in that mode when fully fit is a must in the X1. Just need to be more consistent like Bhumra.

This is a good step no doubt. But I think we need to work a lot on young bowlers' actions and help them get the best out of their actions. I liked what I saw with the U19 team . The likes of nagarkoti have very efficient actions. Imagine if somehow we had gotten bumrah to run in straight without any unnecessary lateral  flexion while loading and use his non bowling arm effectively ? With his hyperextension , I think he would've been a devastating bowler. It might be a bit too late for him now but....

Avesh and Khalil were never trundlers , even at U19 they were clocking 14O, but yes they have been nurtured and taken care of, refined their action are fit and can touch 150 now, Chahar was a trundlers.

Then that coach would have sabotaged Bumrah's career and we'd never have heard of him.

Yeah which is why we need to work on their actions when they are in their teens. Im glad we are doing that atleast now.
