That is something you have posted too i.e. Bhuvi is an improved bowler in the last 20 months (1 Apr 2017) .... And as discussed:

:lol:

Hey what about bhuvi s test stats where he outbowled shami and ishant his entire career. Hey stats man. Hey

Kohli uses Bhuvi better than Dhoni did in at least ODI’s. . Dhoni was all about using slow seamers and spinners and with flat tracks being introduced, our approach was that lets get hit for 300 and not worry since Kohli will anyway chase it down so no worries. 

 

pace bowlers were playing just for fun under him to fill up the slots.

 

Bhuvi will do fine in the world cup. He now seem to have a proper role in the team.

In Eng, teams would be playing their strongest squads .... Aus team has been relatively poor and the conditions have been sporting enough .... Melbourne has supported quicks (trundlers here apart from Shami), who have been economical, while the spinners have gone for runs (though Chahal picked up 3 wkts so far)

Rather than quoting what I wrote to others, reply to the one quoted to you where you were supposed to accept the stats

This is the part which puzzles me.

 

The same TM which has been able to create a potent pool of right kind of international pacers in

Bumrah  ( bouncy fast bowler with high skills )  

Shami  ( skiddy fast bowler with skills )

Ishant  ( tall, accurate fast-medium pacer )

Bhuvi  ( genuine swing bowler who is accurate)

 

...  have tried to bring in guys like Kaul, Chahar  Umesh, Shardul etc.

 

All of these guys lack natural bounce ( and the extra accuracy needed for such non-bouncy pacers )  And Kaul and Chahar lack pace too.

 

Its the 'must prioritize and reward consistent FC performers' queue' problem.  Fast bowling is not the same as batting or spin - you have to catch 'em young if you spot the spark.  Majority of the great fast bowlers have been fast tracked to their national teams.  If you only blindly look for the top wicket-takers, you will find more of the workhorse accuracy type bowlers.  I remember writing a thread/article on blooding younger quicks a couple of years ago...

There is a reason his average is 38 and SR is in high 40s.

Over 35 games since April 2017, Bhuvi is averaging 32.8 with an SR of 39.  For the same time period, Kagiso Rabada is averaging 32 with an SR of 38 in 19 games.  The only bowlers with a better economy rate than Bhuvi are Bumrah, Rabada and Amir.  Btw Amir is averaging more than 45 per wicket.  

 

Just like Ishant's cumulative test stats were horrific for a long period, but he is a much better bowler over the last 3 years, same goes for Bhuvi.  You can't judge Bhuvi's current bowling capabilities and execution skills based on his career stats which are badly impacted by a bad year or 2 from 5 years ago.

he has also been impacted by niggles, and being in & out I guess. with that said, he has underachieved to some extent in ODIs. an avg of 32 is decent, but he should be capable of getting that avg (in this streak) to less than 30.

Forget what one thinks of Bhuvi, this ODI avg/SR is quite some overrated stat on ICF. I'm reading in another thread how awesome Agarkar was since he has superior avg than Srinath or even Zaheer. I wonder if people bothered to watch these guys bowl. Agarkar was a bloody struggling third seamer after having years of experience and having 200+ wickets in whatever games. He can't hold a candle to Zaheer especially in his later days, I don't think we'd win the WC without Zak. Zak would make it to any playing XI around the world for some years. 

 

Don't even get me started on Ishant & ODIs.
