I was expecting him to touch 157 but not this early. He can probably hit 160 one day. of course, he will need to work on control and scaling back his pace a bit Link to post Share on other sites

Umran has already shown hes got good yorker and quick ball that goes away. He'll improve further without compromising on pace Suhaan, express bowling and raki05 3 Link to post Share on other sites

No i would like to differ here,good that he has tested his limits He now knows he can operate in that territory too Offcourse bowling at that pace takes juice out of you with slight control loss But once in a while in some situations he can bowl express and create terror, With more experience im sure he will be able to bowl with pin point accuracy even in 154-155+ range in one spell in a day especially for tests raki05 and MultiB48 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Suhaan 15,221 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Bowling only to contain runs and not picking wickets always ends up like Bumrah Bumrah has forgot the art to pick wickets He now looks scared to pitch up He needs to rediscover himself,might well explore the option to take a sabbatical leave Link to post Share on other sites

Gill also smashed Starc for five fours Although he's not a hitter but is a very elegant fine batsman Low point was getting pulled and picked up by length by Saha Bumrah's short deliveries were just too easy to put away,he has totally lost it You are right needs to take a break Link to post Share on other sites
