The Indian pace bowling depth.

[S_pace]

Bhuvneshwar Kumar getting thrashed has been a pretty comments sight recently and that can cost us world cup.

The USP of Bhuvi has been swing with new ball and early wicket and even that has faded away now.

Right now it looks like we got only one pacer who we can pin all our hopes on and the is Jasprit Bumrah.

Now the time is very very less but we can't go on like this we should try  Pacers who are going good in domestic circuit.

So the question of the hour is who is next in line and can perform and is our bowling depth overrated?

From the current squad, Umesh vs Bhuvi .... at least Umesh picks wkts in unhelpful conditions

Bhuvi is so overrated here 97 wkts in 93 matches and last 2 yr economy rate is more than 5.3. he is only good for t20.

Why not someone like Navdeep Saini he has maturity to be an international cricketer and we have seen what Umesh brings to the table but we have chance to have element of surprise with Saini.

Even Rajput

[Mosher]

Had hopes on Khaleel but he has started trundling and has been disappointing so far. Saini or Rajpoot should be given a chance next but we all know it will be one among Kaul/Unadkat/Dhawal and they will eventually make way for the return of short trundler Shardul.

He wasn't even in the deodar trophy. This selectors don't even see him as an option.

[Vilander]

Khaleel is a body blow. We can not go back to Unadkat. Shami umesh are not good enough for odi. That leaves bumrah and pandya should be back from injury. 

 

Khaleel has to perform like we know he can bowl 145 and be in the channel. 

 

Bhuv if the pitches are too flat in England it might be better to try Shami in.

This is what I'm concerned with no one here is pitching the idea of a new pacer. All the answers have been about going back to old used and rejected bowlers. And here I think Pakistan and SA is ahead of us. They can throw in new names atleast in pace bowling dept.

[Vilander]

On topic Not enough time to check Kejroliya or Saini.

No there is plenty of options but not enough time to groom before wc. You need the present crop in the mix for wc. Even umadkat will be trusted more that a greenhorn unfortunately

[Mosher]

I think the pace bowling attack for WC will be Bumrah, Bk, Shami and Shardul.

Shradul. Really?

Yes. For some strange reason selectors think Shardul is a must in all the squads.

[beetle]

They should try out atleast two more pacers .

Shami ,bhuvi are both prone to fitness issues.Some replacement should be ready .

Shami

[Moochad]

We have good stocks in Tests but our ODI and T20 stocks are underwhelming right now.

[Jamadagni]

Shami is a must in the XI. Bhuvi should be thrown out and 2-3 young pacers should be tested before WC. 

 

Bumrah, Shami, either of Khaleel/Saini should be our pace attack. 

[Rightarmfast]

Ofcourse there's no dearth of good bowlers. However, one must realize the pattern here. Very select bowlers like Shardul and CHahar are being given chance, which means the selectors are prepping us for these medium pacers. No way the other bowlers will be given chance, unless something dramatic happens. We still have decent bowlers in Siraj, Saini . Even Khejrolia , Mavi, Avesh. but they wont be included.

Mostly, Thakur, Chahar and Khaleel will be in the team apart from Bumrah, Bhuvi, Shami/Umesh.
