sarcastic Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 So, according to the cricbuzz article https://www.cricbuzz.com/live-cricket-scores/38582/ind-vs-nz-1st-test-new-zealand-tour-of-india-2021, only one of Siraj or Umesh will play along with Ishant in the final XI. I will pick Siraj over Umesh for the sheer strides that Siraj has made in the recent past. Umesh is good too but we cannot pack three pace bowlers for a test match in India. Who do you think should play in the Kanpur test match? Link to comment
First class Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Umesh is better than Siraj, no question about that . He is the most underrated fast bowler to play for India in recent times , every test is a trial match for him. Cricspin, Norman and admin420 3 Link to comment
admin420 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 It has got to be Umesh. The guy is a strike bowler and matchwinner, averaging 24 in India. Link to comment

He is criminally underrated and criminally unused oversea too. He barely played in England. Averages 24 there. He only has issues with kookaburra ball which he has worked on. Link to comment

sarcastic Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 So, it is Umesh instead of Siraj who is chosen. I would have gone with Siraj to go along with the experience of Ishant. Link to comment
express bowling Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I would have picked Siraj and Umesh. ( provided Siraj is fit ) mishra, Mosher, Clarke and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment
Clarke Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 ^^ Agree, and in the overall sense Shami & Umesh would be even better if we had not wasted Shami in T20s. express bowling 1 Link to comment

First class Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 13 hours ago, Cricspin said: Umesh should play. Also why does Ishant needs to play ?? If Umesh played that many tests, he would have taken more wickets than Ishant. I know Umesh is called spray gun but his strike rate is 50 compared to 61 of Ishant. That is a huge difference. Umesh also averages better than Ishant overall. At this point Siraj should play all our tests when fit. I have no generic issue with Ishant when others are not available but he is definitely a no.5 choice after Bumrah, Siraj/Shami, Umesh.. Hell he should retire gracefully. 311 wickets in 104 tests is nothing to brag about. Agree, had Umesh played that many tests as Ishant did, he would have been one of the best among the current fastmen in the world by now, he had the potential . Ishant started his career at a very young age , I remember everyone in India got excited when they say a very tall fast bowler in under 19 team, hence he was fast tracked . Ishant could have done better than 311 wickets in 104 tests . He has everything for a fast bowler, very good height, good runup and action and decent pace, but learnt to put the ball at right spot after many many tests. Umesh learnt this art much quicker. Being a fast bowler myself during my days of club cricket, I like Umesh's runup and action the most among the Indian fast bowlers of recent time . My other favorites with good action are Saini and young Tyagi . Cricspin and Norman 2 Link to comment

Ishant needs to work on Indian pitches too. He has been allready proven not better than Umesh and Siraj in English conditions. So we can say bye bye to him Link to comment
