Steyn should be made India's bowling coach. He is coming across as a great and passionate teacher with loads of knowledge and experience  and abity to mingle with youngsters 

We have great Mhambrey.

IMO Umesh was li'l slow...142-148 range...Aaron was 150+.
There was an ODI match against Srilanka...where both Umesh and Aaron opened the bowling. Aaron hit multple 150+ deliveries, while Umesh was hitting 147-148. Tharanga, Dilshan and Sanga had no clue .
Unfortunately Aaron got injured after 4.1 overs

Cuttack ,Hitman Sharma's famous 264 match

Even way before that Umesh and Aaron opened for India against visiting Windies in 2011

Oldman Gavaskar and his pal Harsha were the same fellas in comm box raving about "never seen before" near express pacers for India sharing new ball

Doull mentioned that Bumrah has bowled 145 k+ at various stages of his career and he also mentioned Srinath.

 

But the 2 Indians failed to mention Umesh and Aaron.

Self hating Indians

Gavaskar must know that Aaron was extremely fast customer

He was the fastest pacer from either side in Australia vs India test series in Australia in 2014

Which featured Johnson,Ryan Harris as well?

And you know who was the second fastest?

It was Umesh,he was quite rapid in Brisbane

Don't know what re theses guys smoking

Aaron and Umesh catylysed Indian fast bowling, consistently fast

Not happened before

I would love to see Prasidh play but Bumrah, Shami Siraj and Umesh all do have a case.

Prasidh's skills with the old ball is also something to be considered. The others are very skilled at it. With the new ball he will definitely add a new dimension with his wicked bounce.

 

 

Apart from Bumrah  who is quite quick and bouncy, the other 3 ( Shami, Siraj and Umesh )  bring a sort of sameness to the bowling. 

 

In 2022, they are basically skiddy pacers bowling at Fast-medium pace with a bit of movement. ( Umesh and Shami were much quicker before )

 

Prasidh brings a new dimension to the attack.  Steep bounce at quick to sharp pace and movement too. We really need this variation in our attack. And he gets bounce with the old ball too.

Got it...this is the match

WI's in 2011 is also there, but tbf I didn't saw it live, only highlights. This one is stetched in my memory forever due to the sheer pace by the duo.

Varun clocked 152kph

Bumrah can bowl 145 k+ whenever he wants right from 2017.

 

Umesh and Aaron were 145 k+ from 2011 to 2017 

 

Srinath was 145 k+ till 1997.

 

Saini has not played much but he too would qualify.

 

And now there is Umran.

 

But our star commentators could not name any of them.

Yhh I remember that Cuttack game, rahane and dhawan had a off day, thrashing SL bowlers. Ishant to bowled pretty briskly, next game ahmedabad rayudu Garu hit a century. The best Umesh has bowled was actually in a warm up game Vs Australia in 2013 CT. Unplayable 90mph swing and seam.

Aaron had a dream debut series vs England

Wish he had someone like Steyn by his side then,and alas his injuries too did their part

I believe (just my belief)he is the quickest Indian pacer i have ever seen

Genuine pacers generate a sort of " heat " in their bowling.  The ball keeps climbing when it passes the bat and batsmen look afraid while facing them.

 

Aaron had this quality in plenty.

Ishant was hitting 145kph plus in the cb series 2008, ankola was quick, am sure gavaskar would know of ta Sekhar and pandurang salgaonkar, both express.

but they can name their boobis, unadcutters, and so forth. watching "83" (the film) reminded me, unpleasantly, of what a poor "attack" we had then.

Aaron bowled the greatest non wicket taking delivery

 

the one that knocked Broad on his face and converted him into a tailender :giggle:

wish he had taken out some of broad's face (e.g., nose) along with it.

Broad not going to lie. He still looks like a baby face. Dude is 36. Looks 26 lol. Never ages. Ya varun broke him. 

 

Yet to see a Pakistani bowler post shoaib do that sort of damage to the opposition. 

 

That's why I call them phasst trundlers.

Will Umran be the next accurate genuine quick bowler after Bumrah !!

 

The last 3 matches are showing plenty of signs of that happening.

He could be a bit quicker than Bumrah. I know Boom has a 152-153 delivery, but Umran can go beyond that on faster pitches than current IPL (which are somewhat decent for pace).
