express bowling Posted April 29 Author Posted April 29 (edited) 9 hours ago, Malcolm Merlyn said: Who is gurnoor Gurnoor Brar is a 6'5" inch tall, hit the deck, bouncy pacer who is regularly playing for India A in Unofficial Tests. He bowls 137 k to 147 k in 50 over cricket and 135 k to 144 k in domestic FC matches. May clock higher speeds in international matches. His biggest plus is that he can bowl in good areas at 140 k+ even in the 3rd session of the day in red ball cricket. And get disconcerting bounce with some seam movement. He has already played 18 FC matches and has a match ready body, unlike Mayank, Tyagi, Umran. He can be a quicker and bouncier Ishant Sharma replacement. More of a test and ODI prospect as of today. He is already 25 and it's high time we bring him in test matches. Edited April 29 by express bowling tapandrun, Suhaan, Lone Wolf and 2 others 1 4

Not a pure 145-150 kph speed merchant, but can generate disconcerting bounce like Mohsin, is athletic and can slog as well. Though I doubt his T20 bowling skills. We need him for test and odi express bowling 1

Later in 2004, he took some guidance from Wasim, and started bowling huge banana swing, but at 125kph. Later got injured after lifiting heavy weights in the gym. Pathan in 2010-11 even accepted that his injuries were mostly due to lifting extremely heavy weights which his body couldnt sustain. In 2012-2013 he was barely touching 120-125. He did touch 144-145 on some occassions. I saw him bowling 145 twice I think. But he never was fast. those deliveries were exceptions. Had he improved his pace, he would have played longer. But he became a guinea pig for the management. express bowling 1

Maintaining/Increasing/Sustaining the pace only came-up with bowlers like bhuvi/bhumrah/Shami under Bhart Arun Indian selectors should strictly set a pace which a bowler is capable to bowl at for eg. Mayank Yadav--he is hired bcos he can bowl between 136 to 150k , if he starts bowling slower and getting fewer wickets , he should be dropped. he can always reduce and come into 130 to 140k range but then he was hired for a different reason and with in 130 to 140k range , should we hire bhuvaneshwar ( swing guru) or Mayank -if both are bowling in the same range. as a selector i shall hire bhuvi so point i wish to say is if a bowler is hired for some skill , some pace - he has to meet the expectations. like avesh used to bowl 140k...he slowed down and he was thrown out but enough opportunities were given to him. now if a bowler slows down, he should be told given three warnings and then thrown out just bcos , it seems he is not putting full efforts. thats the truth tapandrun 1
Need4Speed Posted April 29 Posted April 29 missed some games due to a marriage trip..what happened to our pacers..Ashok Sharma,,Mayank Yadav have been dropped..as if the other pacers(slowers) are setting the world on fire..or winning matches for their teams..

The momebt they get money they stop focussing on cricket and start other businesses. RP Singh, Munaf, Praveen, Nathu Singh, Irfan..they all stopped working hard and gave up in late 20s itself. Thats why Umesh was the trend setter, remained fast for a decade. Even Aaron bowled fast despite so many injuries. Nathu is a very strange case disappeared like a martian Munaf wasbowling quick and lille was very effusive in his praise for munaf, in his first test Munaf justified that hype. Then he had a injury and came back slower, greg chappal said he advised munaf to slow down and become mcgrath like and not chase pace. This chappal guywas s cancer tweaker and singhvivek141 2

He needs to be rested. Anyone else fro,m MI would actually pick some wickets if he is replaced. He has been that bad. express bowling 1
