Austin 3:!6 Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Shami's spell after lunch on Day 4 is some of the best hostile fast bowling one would ever see. He literally scared the batsmen with pace and bounce. Agreed, it was played in Perth which offers lot of pace but it still takes a special effort to bowl like that. So one begs a question, is the 6 wickets by Shami in Perth is the best fast bowing by an Indian ever? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk BrantFUGH 1
Switchblade Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Sreesanth in Durban in 2006 was great as well Edited December 23, 2018 by Switchblade Vk1, Austin 3:!6 and flamy 1 2
Nikola Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) I think someone said that in past you took one or two such wicket but whole session and 6 fer was not seen in past by indian pacer. So yes must be one of the best hostile spell by an indian bowler if not the best. Edited December 23, 2018 by Nikola Clarke, BrantFUGH and Ridgepi 1 2
Suhaan Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 In my opinion Srinath's spell against SA 1996,Pak in Kolkata 1999 stands out Muloghonto, express bowling, Jimmy Cliff and 3 others 1 5
Clarke Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Certainly top 3 in terms of hostility if not #1. Srinath was the only one I've seen in the past who could trouble batsmen with pace & bounce until he was overused. Zaheer could hit them once in a while. In contrast, Bumrah hits them on a regular basis.
express bowling Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 One of the best spells of hostile fast bowling by an Indian for sure. Loved watching Shami run in over after over and make the Aussies hop, jump, duck and weave in their own den. And he hit the batters physically at least 8 times. All this while taking 6 wickets. Bumrah and Shami have formed a formidable pair of quick and hostile fast bowlers ... who can intimidate the batters in almost every match. Next in line hostile Indian fast bowlers are Avesh Khan and Shivam Mavi. And both are picking lots of wickets this FC season. Ridgepi, BrantFUGH, Mosher and 2 others 1 1 1 2

ShoonyaSifar Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Was a great spell but looking back, his below par first day spells were a huge factor in our loss. He bowls a brilliant spell almost every Test now but is not consistent enough to have a match winning impact which he is so well capable of. He is good enough to be a sub-25 average bowler across formats but at times comes across as casual. With not more than 2-3 years of career left, can he get to 240-250 Test wickets (100 wickets in next 25 tests)?
JourneyMan Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 It was a great spell, don't know about best ever but certainly up there. My issue with Shami is that while he has ability I'm not always sure that he has the brain required for test bowling. In fact, this is the key problem with most of our pacemen (except Bhuvi).

MechEng Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Nothing comes close to Ishant vs Ponting, taking the context into consideration. Ridgepi, flamy and sscomp32 1 2

King Tendulkar Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Excellent spell, especially when you consider ICF wanted him axed and said was rubbish His best spell was when had cook on toast which english comms said was unluckiest spell they had seen. Literally beat cook 4 times an over
