Not all does. I only said he is the best left arm swinger in India. So he competetion is with other left arm seamers likes of Aniket, khaleel, Sakaria, Natrajan, unadkat, khejrolia and some others

 

 

Picking a left armer for practice is ok.

 

But having one in the playing 11 should happen only if he one of the best 4 pacers in the country for that format.

Yes, left arm pacers are overrated.

From the videos and live matches that I have seen, Nagaswalla bowls 122 k to 136 k range in domestic matches. Mostly around 127 to 133.  It is possible that he will bowl 127 k to 140 k in internationals.

 

But it is not just an issue about release speeds.

 

Arzan does not seem to hurry batsmen, whatever his speed maybe.  Skiddy pacers like Siraj have the ability to hurry batters at 135 k too ... someone like Prasidh, who bowls a heavy ball, can make the batsman jump at 135 k even.

 

Don't see the same quality with Arzan.

 

A pacer needs to be either skiddy or bouncy or have high release speeds, to succeed at international level. 

 

 

Arzan gets extra bounce with high release point

Hearing Arzan has the ability to swing new ball upfront.  So maybe not a bad pick.  If he has the ability to bring the ball back in to right hand batsman that will make him a great prospect.  Sam Curran troubled us in England coz he did the same & kept changing things up with that left arm angle.  Boult is expert on that & does that on good pace.  Arzan is maybe taken for practice purpose only.

This MMHS chutiya from porkpasshun called India attack of 2003 a trundled attack rofl. How is nehra a trundled? How is Zaheer a trundler at that time. Srinath trundler? Rofl

 

Actually nevermind. I should have known better. Porks do have the IQ of an infant.

What? Our pace attack was consistently 140+ in that WC, the speed guns were a bit overcooked but we had 4 bowlers Srinath, Agarkar, Nehra and Zaheer all bowling 140+. Was among the best attacks in the tournament.

Arzan is a good talent. Probably best left arm swinger in India. Left arm pacers who can't swing will always find it difficult to be successful at the top level or you have genuine pace with decent accuracy.

I feel nattu is the best left arm medium pace skilled bowler that we have.

All know about his skills so I don't need to repeat. He is a poor guy but still picked to international level.

Other guy who has shown he is improving is khaleel. I was disappointed with him as he came to international cricket with a bang ahead of Prasidh , siraj, avesh and then started trundling.

 

But if nattu was unfit..khaleel could have been picked.

 

Khaleel version 2 could prove his point and get into indian 11 too in one of the tests for india.

 

I see nagwaswalla easily behind

 

Ishant Shammi boom siraj umesh shardul prasidh avesh..

And not of their Pedigree or level.

Khaleel on his day can compete with anyone except Shammi and boom.

If all others are hurt and assume india plays bumrah Shammi and nagwaswalla..won't u find a lot of difference in quality speed and sk

Nattu is 30 & Arzan is 23 so I guess Arzan has decent potential plus age on his side.  Nattu at best can be LOI specialist.  We need to see first What Arzan brings to the table to form an opinion.

Khaleel struggles to get into Rajasthan Ranji team ahead of Aniket and Tanvirul Haq. and yet you want him to be picked fo the test squad? Khaleel's red ball skills are still unproven. Arzan is a proper FC bowler. Nothing wrong in his selection

Domestic state selections are 100 percent wrong nearly at all times dear and there is no contention or fight too. Lil noise is made but ignored.

 

I have followed Mumbai team selections. Do you know d kulkarni was selected ahead of zaheer Khan and shardul Thakur for many matches. One more fast bowler who is the best fast bowler for Mumbai was benched and shardul was played.

 

Prasidh was finding it tough to play for his state team  12 months before but today everyone including kohli and shastri are tracking his carona status as they want him to go to england.

You should be 100 percent sure that the fast bowling unit that represents Mumbai are not the best three pacers in Mumbai.

 

Indian selection committee is answerable to Indian public and many important folks and that is why you are seeing fairly good selections.

Would you believe that India had only 1 pacer kapil Dev and other spinners..no other pacer came up and if they did they were not supported at all. There was huge politics at indian selection also.

 

I can remember so many good fast bowlers who were as good as kapil dev and they hardly played 2 to 3 international matches and dumped. Even bharat arun played one or two matches only.

Srinath was not played for so many matches when prabhakar and kapil played and in the first match when Srinath played, he out bowled both of them.

Srinath was bowling around 142 to 146k and these two guys bowled in early 120"s.

 

I remember listening to commentary and kapil bowling 25 overs + to get a no 11 batsman out to get his 432 wickets trying to break a record.

Kapil should have retired when his leg was operated n he was hurt. He played and stopped many to debut.

Brother... rajasthan not playing khaleel and playing a fatty aniket Chowdhury is a joke. Seriously wrong call. He bowled quick n fast and in next ipl he will perform better and soon play for India.

I may be wrong as I have just seen a few videos of nagwaswalla.

I hope he proves me wrong and bowls fast and produces banana swing and takes bucket full of wickets.

My understanding is he has nattu"s pace and a lil less skilled than Nattu.

If you pick him as reserves than what's wrong with Sir jaydev unadkkkut.

Both are probably same pace and unadkat is skilled for sure.

 

Point I am making is that Indian selectors had picked Saini umesh ishant umesh boom earlier. This was a phenomenal selection. All 140 + bowlers. If Saini lost his mojo as he was not played ..support him get him back into form.

He is a Pedigree bowler..a 145k true talent .. support him. Supporting a 130 k Trundler and Saini is about to be lost exactly as Varun Aroon.

Varun Aroon was fastest India produced ..faster than umesh and Srinath. He was not supported.

Umesh n Shammi n boom got lucky ..they got support from kohli. Varun was benched by dhoni and then dumped.

Saini should have been picked as a reserve at least.

I agree khaleel has talent and more importantly has pace. 

 

Indian fans are mostly clueless as a vast majority don't watch Ranji games. I watched almost all A games. Seen some highlights of ranji matches here and there. 

 

Always knew Siraj was a special talent even before he got picked. Not were mocking him based on some shitty performances in his worst format i.e. T20 back when he was first picked to play for India. 

 

Even Saini is actually a good bowler. Go watch his ranji games and you will see what he is capable of. He played and under performed in 2 of the most parts wickets I have ever seen in Australia and people write him off for ODI. 

 

Prasidh is another one that has gained some traction only now. Go watch his Karnataka games and you should be able to discern how talented he actually is. But then most here probably have never played at a competitive level so it's understandable to see them fail to identify real talent. 

 

Porel is another one that's been written off for some reason. 

 

I do believe nagrakoti is overrated however. 

 

Mavi has potential but he needs to be consistent.

Varun wasnt picked when he actually hit form. He would been good even in ODI if he had better backing. Instead Dhoni chose Mohit Sharma. Rofl.

All you could have written is you saw Khaleel bowl 140+ in IPL, that's why you want him. No need to mock Ranji veterans like Aniket (who BTW before injuries was bowling upto 140 kmph in domestic FC cricket a couple of years back)

I played for My COmpany ( a TOP Financial company) and opened the Batting , also played for a CLUB registered in MUMBAI and hence i used to play 35 overs and 45 overs and some 20 over matches.

 

our coach used to show us photographs with Sachin and boosted that he is a big cricket shot, he was a fairly good coach. He created a culture where if he got any player from Police lines or from any other team, He expected us to give exceptional respect to him. For me respecting the COACH was great as He was the guru but i was surprised to see that there was too much SIR BAAZI in domestic cricket. 

This Sir Baazi later becomes chamcha giri. assume that I am the coach with some powers to select a team and I have a dhruv kulkarni as my chamcha and I need to select a player and I have a tushar deshpande too ( who is much faster and more promising and even more wicket taking than dhruv) , i will select Dhruv ( as he is my chamncha) and say that dhruv is senior pacer and Tushar is good but he will get his chance next time and drop tushar.  finally a pacer who may be less dangerous , slower , who has less energy than Tushar gets to play.

 

i have seen a mumbai match in which tushar and dhruv bowled and tushar was way faster and better. tushar was even better than shardul in many matches , though both were equally good on bowling analysis.

idea is this SIR BAAJI is too much. 

 

Dear domestic Ranjit trophy and State Selectors - please be professional , idea is to have the best team go and play , not the most experienced team goes to Play.

 

When I see domestic Matches , i do see one good pacer in each team for sure. But i also see some Spinners and some medium trundlers playing for state teams. i feel that i have seen faster bowlers than them on Mumbai grounds and in Mumbai Clubs. feel shocked to see them bowling for a state team.

 

Pardon me but just see that sardar bowling in IPL (forgot his name)and samson had to hit a 6 of the last ball. samson did hit but it was a 4. little better connect and it could have been a 6. he was a trundling sardar playing for king 11 n may be playing for Punjab. do u think he is one of the best pacer in Punjab- definitely not.

i was very excited to see varun aroon and Umesh yadav bowling together. varun even was picked and sent to england or australia for a series but DHONI did not give him even one match except one domestic england match. in that match varun took some 4 or 5 wickets also hurt a few players and I was kinda sure that varun will play in the test but he was not played.

 

keeping to a trundler at 125 K and keeping to a 145K bowler are two different things. i feel dhoni could have managed and get varun to bowl good line and length and made his career.

instead he did not play him as keeping to varun was also a tough Job.
