If an Indian bowler said that he may not quality to play for India with such an attitude  

 

 

[vvvslaxman]

My role is to bowl 24 slow balls

[vvvslaxman]

Still not as good as DInda :)

 

Min 120 balls Against top 8 sides. Dinda has the best strike rate !

Overrated bowler, who usually gets smashed.

He is overrated. 

I have seen him getting smashed for far too long. 

 

And no he is nowhere near Shaheen or even Rauf.

Lol he single handedly bullied Pakistani in Pakistani last home series. Your great Azam and Riz has grand avg of 6 in the matches wood played. He made them his bitches with fiery 154 thunderbolt. He was also one of their important cog in 2019 wc. Rauf lol what has he ever done other than loosing home series against engd.

Good T20 bowler, overall decent but not anything extra ordinary. 

 

Rauf is a nobody at the moment. Will rate him once he plays any test match.

Bhuvi: My role is bowl outside off stump + 3 wides in 19th over.

Ya wood is overrated by some whereas bhuvi, harshal and Avesh are bestest in India.

[Clarke]

Chahal: my role is to give flighted lollypops outside off, bite my collar when smashed, drop catches, donate runs to other team and follow it up with a stupid grin =>

A 150 kph bowler can bully anyone when he hits the correct length. 

 

The thing is that he rarely does so. 

[MK55]

From the article - 

""That's weird, that. I've had elbow surgery but my shoulder's aching. Whatever. I'll still bowl fast. F***ing hit 'em in the head."
 

Great attitude. Thats what we wanna hear from fast bowlers or sportsmen in general.

Give a cringeworthy pose

"My role isn't to try and go for 5 or 6 an over, but to bowl at 95 mph and go for 15 to 16 an over"

Very few have pace like wood has so not everyone can try to do role he is doing for his team. Even if you can bowl in 140-145 range you still have to be quite accurate for this format and need to have some variations unless you have pure pace like wood bowling 150-155kph.

Watch RP singh in 2007 final. The ball that sent kamran's stump cart wheeling was delivered at 143 kph. Ball just zipped through the pitch. Kamran was very late. You need heat in important games where batsmen are nervous and catching cold feet. Atleast one bowler to bowl with heat. You cannot have several trundlers in the line up.

Dravid and Sharma think the opposite. They love trundlers more than Dhoni's fingers.
