rkt.india Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 3 minutes ago, express bowling said: More than release speeds, it is the speed at the point when the batsman plays which is more important. Bumrah is definitely one of those pacers who loses a little less speed after the ball pitches, compared to most international pacers. A 145 kph release speed delivery by Bumrah probably reaches the batsman at say 125 kph on a certain pitch compared to say 120 kph at the batsman's end on the same pitch by most pacers releasing the ball at 145 kph. Brett Lee was very quick as well in those days. His action makes a bit of a difference for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumrah's angle is a big difference. He creates this unusual angle that batsmen don't find it easy to go after. Forward Defence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumrah hits the bat very very hard ... his balls fly through to the keeper and pound into the keeper's gloves. It is what they call the heavy ball.

R!TTER Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Lee was super quick for about a decade, if not more, just like Akhtar he was a good 10mph quicker on avg than any of his contemporaries. He was at his quickest in the WC 2003, him & Akhtar were breathing fire back then. For as quick as Starc was last WC, both Shoib & Brett were probably 5mph quicker than him.

Because of Brett Lee, Ganguly decided to field first lol. He was terrorizing oppositions in SA conditions. They didn't expect a road for final.

Went for 20 in one over today but came back to take 3 wickets. Has a good seam presentation and can certainly get outswing. If he can add a couple of yards to his pace, might become quite an effective customer @express bowling @Rightarmfast @Mosher @rkt.india @MultiB48 @Suhaan Chahar's lack of natural bounce is something that makes me uncomfortable while considering him as an international prospect. Such pacers, without bounce, succeed at international level if they are 145+ with accuracy.

Not 5 mph but 5 kph on average. 5 mph high would be 95 mph average which wasn't the case. They had higher top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Bangalore, and I take offence to the word madrasi. Its highly derogatory. Just because this is troll season, doesnt mean you start calling a northeastern 'chinki'. Or a black, a nigger. The basic decorum has to be maintained.

How is Madrasi derogatory can you explain me? Chennai was known as madras and Chennai is madras and it is towards CSK. it could have have been even Madras Super kings. MRF is still madras rubber factory. They have not changed their name. Does it mean that name is derogatory?

I didn't I see a single yorker from him but that was not needed. The pitch had some good carry and pace. He kept hitting the deck hard and hurried batsmen.

Does it mean that name is derogatory? It is more offensive to those who are not from Madras(now CHennai). Each state in south has their own tradition, culture although lot of them overlap. Northies/Southies is less offensive. If you call anyone from south as Madrasi it is offensive. if you call only those who are from Chennai/Madras or even TN then it is not that offensive since Madras is located there.
