it's fine for hit-and-giggle cricket like IPL. if he can smash some records along the way, all the better. runs given away don't matter.

 

control, etc. are really important only for the truly important matches - tests, world LOI events, etc.

I guess Steyn is doing an interesting experiment with him by asking him to go as quick as he can

He might be observing his control in that territory as of now,we should wait

He may come out with a plan

I would prefer Umran to bowl 143 k to 153 k with control ( liike he did in 4 games on the trot earlier )  rather than spray it at 145 k to 155 k like today 

 

Fast bowling is not a speed gun contest.

 

Speed is great and I love it.  But just trying to clock higher and higher speeds as ultimate goal at the cost of good bowling is not ideal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only first over was bad

He will also hit close 145-150. Both Kartik and Sushant were similar pace in u19 WC.

yes, I remember it well.

Agree, I also think so.
May be he has thrown a challenge to him.

or it could be that they are mostly grooming him for the future. IPL is mostly a trifling tourney along the way

Yes, he is bowling in express range today. Unfortunately, Warner is in the zone and form him pace is not an issue. 
I doubt anyone else in DC can handle such pace.

 

 

Umran's problem today was that he bowled too many long hops (  short balls that are just waist high )

 

That Tyagi bouncer to Warner landed him in trouble all right, because it climbed high.

My worry is that Umran maybe dropped.

 

And, more importantly, this type of performance may result in our selectors ignoring him for Team India.
