Chakdephatte Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Assuming Shami is 31, he should comfortably cross 300. But that is most probably not the case. One injury at his (real) age and he will be done. His pace dropped by 4ks in last one year already.

So, Shami got to his last 100 wickets in 3 years and 11 months( Jan 2018- Dec 2021). I think if he decides to retire from LOI cricket after 2023 World Cup, he should be comfortably able to get to 300 test wickets. 300 wickets at 27 will be indeed a great achievement. Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Shami has taken 106 in last 4 years. It will be great if he manages to end with 250+ wickets at avg of 25 in next 2-3 years. Link to comment

Siraj: 250 Wickets Thakur: 100 Wickets Interesting. Axar will get all the opportunities at home and in SL/BD. So 200 for him is sureshot. Siraj has got around 33 wkts in 10 tests but he will have a long career for sure..atleast 60-70 tests so he will most probably reach it also. Thakur is iffy...he will only play overseas in SENA and he will not pick buckets of wickets because there will be there other strike bowlers ahead of him. Link to comment

With same average / SR he has to play 28 to 30 tests to get there. Lets see how it pans out. Link to comment

He'll get to skip a lot of test series where India would think they can overpower teams without his services. Limits his chances of accumulating cheap wickets but if it results in India triumphing the tough tours then why not. Like many have noticed, Shami has lost a lot of pace over the last 12 months. He was matching Bumrah and Umesh for pace a little over an year ago. He can still be effective and I expect (and hope) for him to finish anywhere between 250-300 wickets. Umesh is someone who can finish with ~225 wickets under 30 and a remarkable SR of 50. Ishant is done but he'll linger awhile. Agree. Quote Saini and Ishan Porel looked fairly ready in the A series. I'd like one of them along with Prasidh playing against SL and Bangla in upcoming series. We generally have similar opinions about pace bowlers. Which is why I want to know which qualities about Porel impresses you ? From what I have seen of Porel, while he does get some bounce and a bit of seam movement, he is so medium paced at age 23 that will he be able to do well at the top level and do we want such a medium pacer ?

express bowling Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I hope they play only till the time they are our top 3 pacers for test matches. I will be happy with whatever wickets they get during this time. I hope they do not linger on when they lose wicket taking ability and pace. Sgattick10, Vijy and Mosher 3 Link to comment

In India, only batsmen are superstars. Look at how Ishant became our back option and Siraj first choice. It needed just 5-6 bad matches for Ishant Sharma. Now compare that to Rahane, a non entity who is failing for 50 matches. Plus fast bowlers are injury prone, that means there is always a chance for young talents, they just need to grab it like Siraj did.
