you are confusing getting bowled by yorkers to tearaway pace.  Tear away pace is more about hurrying the batsmen on his shots which Saini has done this IPL.  Matt Kelly bowls 130 kph but keeps shattering stumps with his yorkers that does not make him tear away.  Same case with Malinga. 

Hurrying a batsman when someone tries to play ungainly shot is probably not that hard. Tearaway fast bowlers knock you out even when you attempt to defend. Bit like Akhtar, Brett Lee who used to clock over 155 kph at times.

Saini to his credit has improved a lot but I would not call him a game changer.I was hoping those under19 kids would be one of the guys who would make their mark by now.

To put it in perspective. Saini is 26 year old. Rabada is 23 years old. Bumrah is 25 year old.

Exactly , Saini is no spring chicken , atbest we can expect one or two years from him.

Can you please tell me who the tearaway is? I don't have confidence in any of them who played in the IPL at the moment. Bumrah bowls in the high 140's and is world's best bowler in this format. Why do you need anyone else besides him? Shami can bowl in mid 140's as well. We don't need another quick bowler who doesn't have any control, we have seen that in the past with Aaron and it was not good.

A fast bowler starts slowing down from 30-31,Saini is 25+ so he has 5-6 peak years ahead  him

Yes he should have been drafted into the team this year itself,but still has more to offer

All the fast bowlers that want to come in better learn to bat. There is a very good chance you will get a look in. This is astonishing coincidence none of the fast bowlers we have can bat bar Bhuvi. On that count big respect for Bhuvi for the effort he put to improve his batting.

Saini is a late bloomer. He didn't play age group cricket like Rabada and Bumrah. He made his FC debut at 22 not for haryana where he actually belonged but for Delhi. Bumrah did that at 19, same for Rabada. Age doesn't matter in such cases. It's the level of cricket you play that helps your progress. We have been calling for Saini for last two years since Aus tour to India when he bounced out Warner and was 24 but wasn't getting chances. Players get better only when they play at higher level.

BK could always bat even before he made his debut. These things need to be happening from domestic cricket. They can't learn batting coming in Indian team.

Even they needed help in the air.  Those two were rare commodities in those days bowling 150. Now batsman are not scared of pace. In this age of t20, even they would have been carted around. Also how many bowlers have you seen hurrying the batsmen in this IPL. None apart from Rabada and Saini have done that. Prasidh also did it at times.

No rookie can be a game changer. You need some experience at the highest level.

It's not about age but fitness and experience at the top level. mitch Johnson debuted at 25-26, still had 7-8 good years of International cricket and is one of Australian legends.

Still he comes across as a containing bowler rather than someone who blows away batting line ups which is quintessential requirement of a tearaway fast bowler. Doesn't have to do every match. Once in a while. 75 innings of first class. Grand total of 3 fifers 0 fourfers. His strike rate reflects that. 60 in first class. May be looks good in a T20 match where he can be tough to get adjusted to. I certainly think batsman will get used to him in a matter of few overs in the one dayers.

Even Bumrah has not blown away any team in LOIs.  Blowing away happens only on helpful pitches.  No bowler can blow away teams on these flat pitches.  Also, you cannot judge anyone based on T20 cricket.  You need to follow first class cricket for that whether he can blow away teams or not.  And this is is first IPL.    Check out his 5-fer against England Lions and spell against Bengal in Ranji trophy.

You have posted one video out of 70 odd innings. Deepak Chahar has 8 for 10 in domestic. All i am saying is so far even in this IPL he didn't appear to be someone like Bumrah when he started his career or even Ishant when he started his career. Closest would be Varun Aaron or Umesh. Don't mind him being the 4th seamer. But given a choice i would take a chance with Shreyas Gopal.

Just because Aaron and Umesh dint come good we should never try any fast bowlers ever. What kind of cliche pathetic logic is this.

And to add to your point ... a fast bowler may retain his pace till a higher age  if he is a late starter, like say Ryan Harris.   Harris bowled 135 k to 145 k even at age 35.

 

According to certificates provided by his wife ( if true )  Shami is 34 and bowling at his quickest ever.

 

Saini may debut for India at age 26 ... and can have 6 to 7 years of quick bowling left in him.
