fineleg Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 in IPL. How much did they pay for him? (close to a million$ right?) Big let down for KKR. One would have thought he will do much better than this lacklustre showing. Personally, I hoped Ishant Sharma will do well, but alas....now I hope he will regain form before SL tour!
Laaloo Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 yea he has dissappointed me too in odis against australia, he was awesome he was kind of unhittable we just cant lose this guy hope to see this guy in form again
Cricketics Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 not too disappointed though.. he is bowling okay.. at times has gone for runs but not that he is bowling way bad.. being average bowler.. just that kolkata team in all as been pretty damn boring..
fineleg Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 yea he has dissappointed me too in odis against australia, he was awesome he was kind of unhittable we just cant lose this guy hope to see this guy in form again absolutely! we need old IS back
satishg Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 absolutely! we need old IS back finey take it easy a bit..its 20 20 not tests..even Dale Steyn is being carted around..so does that mean Steyn is shi t..nope..yes Bret lee performed very well but apart frm him every bowler has gone for runs..Ishant hasn done anything spectacular with the ball at the same time he hasn done anything worse..he is bowling ok..and the mindset of the batsmen is also imp..here everyone goes bang bang and wen edges fly for sixes wat can a bowler do..he ll be fine..no need to worry unnecessarily..
bunny Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 He still doesn't bowl well to left handers. But should be a force to reckon with sooner rather than later.
fineleg Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 ..he ll be fine..no need to worry unnecessarily.. ok, i hope so
zubinpepsi Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 more than Ishant's form, im worried abt sreesanthi's form.. hes wearing purple cap now.. I dont want him anywhere near the indian team... but seems like his BS bowling will contine for India for some more time...
fineleg Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 more than Ishant's form' date=' im worried abt sreesanthi's form.. sreesanthi nice spelling! :D hes wearing purple cap now.. I dont want him anywhere near the indian team... but seems like his BS bowling will contine for India for some more time... Well he is needed for Tests, not for ODIs

riya Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 We have this problem of overhyping a young talent even before its full bloom . These kind of drama cricket won't do any good for the lad .He needs to build up his body a little more and concentrate more on Tests than Pyjama shows . We should use him properly in very selective serieses .
fineleg Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 Thats why I had been saying I.S. should not be playing in T20, and should spend the time building Test skills and playing in England county if needed etc. Alas, the $$$ of T20 will spoil one and all.
ludhianvi Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 He really enjoyed the bounce in the test matches in Australia. Even in India, he did well in the tests against South Africa. In ODIs, he can improve a lot.
The Outsider Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 People cribbing about players making a living from T20 sound like they live like hermits somewhere in the Himalayas and donate their entire monthly earnings to the education of tribes in Congo.
youngindia Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 The bounce is not the same on benign wickets and his phenomenal incoming delivery(that terrorised ponting) is not the same force here. he has to work on reverse as well conventional swing with the SG ball( recent indian bowlers have proved a failure here. they need lessons from srinath) still his height and boucne are handy and batsman have struggled to get him away as long as he is on the right length.

Definitely, T20 through IPL is spoiling our youngsters. He really enjoyed the bounce in the test matches in Australia. Even in India' date=' he did well in the tests against South Africa. In ODIs, he can improve a lot.[/quote'] Long back it was discussed that IS was very very effective in Australia. To perform consistently in India he needs to learn a lot for international cricket. The bounce is not the same on benign wickets and his phenomenal incoming delivery(that terrorised ponting) is not the same force here. he has to work on reverse as well conventional swing with the SG ball( recent indian bowlers have proved a failure here. they need lessons from srinath) still his height and boucne are handy and batsman have struggled to get him away as long as he is on the right length. Yes, exactly he needs to learn a lot through this man Srinath. Also, seniors would help him a lot on their own. in IPL. How much did they pay for him? (close to a million$ right?) Big let down for KKR. One would have thought he will do much better than this lacklustre showing. Personally, I hoped Ishant Sharma will do well, but alas....now I hope he will regain form before SL tour! It was predominantly understood...results are in here.
Laaloo Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 gave up 49 from 4 didnt see the match howd he bowl today were there couple of edges tat went for 4?? and wat were his speeds?
satishg Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 finey u need to take it easy..this is not a platform to judge players..and that too Ishant who has done so well in tests..this is jus showpiece cricket..i don know how v can judge any cricketer based on their 20 20 performance..its so childish..everything is different in 20 20..the bowlers mindset the batsmen mindset..the grounds the pitches..so ppl pls stop cribbing abt Ishants talent based on 20 20 performance..
Ramesh Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 you see it to... i am worried by ishant, he doesnt get 2 many wickets look at australia tour, bowled brilliantly, beating batsmen all the time but his average is like gangulys. i'd say he is a mitchell johnson type bowler, will bowl good but not a bowler who wud runthrough at batting lineup
