Popular Post rkt.india Posted June 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) There was a time when i thought he was heading Munaf Patel way with his laid back attitude and poor fitness but the man has come back well form his professional and personal set backs that is through sheer hard work by improving his fitness. Shami is the perfect example of how good fitness can do miracles. Here is the International stats of Shami. Tests, 144 wickets 40 tests, averaging under 29.54, 3.6 wickets per test, respectable SR of 52. ODIs, 121 wickets 65 ODIs, average 24.85, SR is incredible at 27.5. I dont think any other bowler with more than 100 wickets except Starc at 25.2 has a better SR in ODIs.

Popular Post Suhaan Posted June 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2019 Shami reminds me of Ryan Harris, extremely dangerous,a quality pacer ,can decimate opposition in a spell Don't know how have I drawn similarity between the two but Shami reminds me of that Aussie pacer DHONI_FANN, Mosher, Nikola and 10 others 1 12 Link to comment

DHONI_FANN Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 One thing I like about Shami is that he always bowls to take wkts and not just to contain runs. Mosher, Under_Score, Real McCoy and 5 others 8 Link to comment
Mosher Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Shami was always skillful but now with his better fitness he doesn't get tired easily and can maintain his pace throughout the test match. He is much more accurate too these days. Suhaan, nevada, Real McCoy and 5 others 1 7 Link to comment

That was an amazing delivery which left the batsman shell shocked. When a bowler is sending down deadly balls like that, batsmen become very tentative. vishalvirsingh 1 Link to comment

Nah shami mostly is similar to Ryan harris because of wrist & seam position which is almost upright every time and that helps you even on flattest decks. Rasgulla and Suhaan 1 1 Link to comment

If Bhuvi is fully recovered we can bring him in for Shankar. Kedar, Dhoni and Hardik can play at 4,5,6 respectively followed by Bhuvi at 7. 6 good batters(at-least on paper) should be good enough to win a game. Link to comment

To balance things out, we actually need one more fast bowling alrounder like Pandya, even if he worse in batting than Pandya but better with the ball or even a spin bowling alrounder in the same vain. Need to develop Darshan Nalkande quickly. Edited June 28, 2019 by rkt.india Link to comment
vivek04 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Shami improved a lot from the past where he gave freebies occasionally. His runup is smooth which generates extra pace. he is a rythm bowler and when on song destructs opposition. vishalvirsingh 1 Link to comment

First class Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Amazing bowler, even with lack of height. Otherwise, close to perfect run up, rhythm and delivery action . Has pace, accuracy, brain and confidence. vishalvirsingh 1 Link to comment
Nash Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 In land of dinda and prasad, he is the real GOD of bowling along side with Bumrah. His Test average is 29 with strike rate 52 which is above average. Anything below 30 in test and strike rate close to 50 is good. He can improve massively in Test aren. In ODI, 24 ave is top of the line. Only freaks like murli would have 22 average. Link to comment
Bhaiyya Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 But But But...India can never produce a pacer let alone a fast bowling legend. Link to comment
Real McCoy Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 At the moment, I think he is bowling better than Bumrah. What is great about him is apart from pace, he also bowls aggressive lines and length. Not afraid to pitch it up and allow seam movement off of the surface. Hope he keeps his performance up Mosher and express bowling 2 Link to comment
