I don't know how others feel but these guys are definitely shoving women's cricket on our face.. granted that there is some increase in the brand value but does that mean that they display scores of women's cricket plus cricket played by some xyz associate countries or first class matches in other countries above our Indian domestic scores?

They have lost their captive Indian audience. Was looking at the website hits numbers, Cricbuzz is getting 65-70% of the traffic vs Cricinfo's 25-30%. Only thing that keeps Cricinfo going for Indian audeinces is statsguru else their focus is totally on US, Pakistan and BD now

Obviously Burmah and Shami are far better bowlers, one of the best in the world, but Hasnain is pacier .

You won't know until Hasnain plays test cricket. Because ability to bowl quick is truly tested in test cricket as speeds have to be sustained for 20 overs a day.

 

Bumrah and Shami were the 3rd fastest and 6th fastest pacers in the world in tests in 2018.  This is based on the average speeds of all deliveries bowled.

 

It is not that easy for rookie pacers, with limited FC experience, to beat their average speeds of all deliveries in test matches

Some more from crapinfo:

 

Yadav to Al-Amin Hossain, 4 leg byes, another short ball, another blow to the helmet. You've got to ask if India should be bowling so many bouncers at the tail-enders. Looks to duck, but can't get entirely out of the way, and the ball ricochets off the back of the helmet to the fine leg boundary

 

Utkarsh: ""You've got to ask if India should be bowling so many bouncers at the tail-enders." - Well, then you would have to ask if part-time bowlers should be hit for a six. Not the way rules work is it." -- Hitting a part-timer for six doesn't put him at risk of serious injury. Umpires have the power to tell bowlers not to overuse the bouncer if they feel the batsman doesn't have the technique to cope with it.

 

Bharath: ""You've got to ask if India should be bowling so many bouncers at the tail-enders" @Karthik - though I agree India can try to avoid bouncers at tailenders, the one Al Amin got hit was not even a well directed bouncer at head height. It was a chest high bouncer which Al Amin made a mess by being half minded whether to duck or not" -- It was the fourth bouncer in a row that Umesh bowled in that over.

 

"41.6.1 The bowling of short pitched deliveries is dangerous if the bowler's end umpire considers that, taking into consideration the skill of the striker, by their speed, length, height and direction they are likely to inflict physical injury on him/her. The fact that the striker is wearing protective equipment shall be disregarded."

 

 

he law continues:

"41.6.3 As soon as the umpire decides that the bowling of short pitched deliveries has become dangerous under 41.6.1, or unfair under 41.6.2, he/she shall call and signal No ball. When the ball is dead, the umpire shall caution the bowler, indicating that this is a first and final warning, and inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen of what has occurred.

"This caution shall apply to that bowler throughout the innings.

41.6.4 Should there be any further such delivery by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall

- call and signal No ball

- when the ball is dead, direct the captain of the fielding side to suspend the bowler immediately from bowling

- inform the other umpire for the reason for this action.

The bowler thus suspended shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings."

So umpires do have the option of stepping in if they think the short ball is being overused and in dangerous manner, but they seldom seem to.

Enjoy the indian chin music guys :) If Bang can't handle bouncers and it bothers them (it doesn't), they shouldn't play test cricket!

Can't handle bouncer? Stop playing....

We used to see some sort of analysis on squad selections.. who missed out, questioning how a player with poor record is still being persisted with etc.. nothing of this kind happens these days..
