Is Umesh really that great strike bowler?

Umesh is a nightmare for a captain. Even on helpful wickets, he can be a spray gun and bowl on either side of the wicket and give away runs and thereby releasing pressure.

 

I have seen Umesh bowl some good spells but can also be terrible on even the most helpful surfaces. Very inconsistent and honestly not good enough to a test level bowler but India doesnt have a lot of options, so he is lucky to be in the reckoning.

They probably do, but for some reason, seem to be afraid to try them.

Umesh has not lived up to his strike rate expectations ...Bhuvi might have done better with some accurate Trundling and is easily more assured batsman than Ashwin.

Exactly.  This is what I keep on saying.

 

I don't understand this " could not find his length on bouncy tracks "  reasoning. 

 

Find your good length on any pitch by targeting the top of off stump.  Find your bouncer length on any pitch by targeting the back shoulder of the batter.

may be vision problem while delivering i dont know..how an entire day is passed and he did not find the right length.
