the don Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 So while everyone plays safe. I will make myself vulnerable to ridicule and abuse but i have a feeling that Arshdeep will turn out to be another Bhuvi in the long run. Good new ball skills but there is something missing, he is doing so well but still missing that sauce, that something. Vijy, rollingstoned and express bowling 3 Link to comment

putrevus Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 It is true , he will not be there for long, I will be surprised if he lasts more than couple of years. Link to comment
express bowling Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) I agree. Arshdeep is a floaty pacer unless he is bowling bouncers ( which are very good ) This means he is likely to be a bowler who will do well primarily in swinging conditions. He will be a limited bowler unless he can hit the deck hard with his length balls Edited November 20, 2022 by express bowling AKane, Hell Raiser, Suhaan and 4 others 7 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 His hitting ability isn't that great. But if he goes with hitting, he will lose his swing. Suhaan 1 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Depends on how much/quick he can improve. Does anyone remember Mcgrath's start & contrast that say against Gillespie? Of course he won't get close to Mcgrath but even with limited skills if he's disciplined he can improve leaps & bounds, the thing that set Mcgrath from the rest was his mental strength! Among modern day greats only Warne comes close, probably exceeds him in that department. Link to comment
Number Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Pretty useful as a T20 bowler with solid temperament. Temperament is so important in T20s. You hit Bhuvi for a 4 and he will be all over the place. He is a swing bowler with left arm angle but his utility is that he can nail yorkers well and has good slower ones. We don't get many bowlers like him in India. Clarke, nitinbwj, nevada and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment
Sean Bradley Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I see allot of hate for Arshdeep on ICF. Let's Analyse his bowling profile and see. Height - 6.3" - ✓ Pace - 135 to 142 kph - ✓ Inswing to Right Hander -✓ Away Swinger to Right Hander- ✓ Slower Ball - ✓ Slower Ball Bouncer - ✓ Bouncer - ✓ Yorker - ✓ Can you please tell us what is that something you are looking for ?

Suhaan Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 He should be regularly bowling in the 136-142 bracket Mosher, express bowling and AKane 3 Link to comment

And pace is 127 k to 142 k and not 135 k to 142 k. he has played in Dubai, Aus and Ind conditons and so far never seen him get smashed badly so he is doing something right. I do understand sentiment of people not rating him as a future prospect but nothing he has done so far with the ball warrants any criticism whatsoever. nitinbwj 1 Link to comment

When Buttler and co smashed everyone around, he gave away just 15 off 2. I have seen other bowlers disappear under pressure. He doesn't disappoint. Sean Bradley 1 Link to comment
singhvivek141 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Arshdeep is a WIP right now, I know he can't be a complete bowler as he don't have the ability to hit the deck at pace...but he has mental calmness and skill to execute Yorkers. As long as we don't mix him with the other formats and keep him only for T20's, I am fine with it. nitinbwj, Vk1 and ind_hyd1 1 2 Link to comment

I think this is a meagre assumption, not too long ago he bounced a few batsman out in the world cup by hitting the deck, he's capable of hitting the deck when he wants to. 14 minutes ago, maniac said: average fielder and would assume a poor bat in the Chahal mould based on semantics at least.

Honestly, i haven't seen him bat, agree that fielding needs improvement, but after that dropped catch in Asia Cup, he hasn't really made a glaring error in the field. Bumrah took his batting seriously and improved leaps and bounds. Maybe Siraj, Arshdeep, Umran etc would follow the suit and work on their batting.

CricketWise Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 He can improve, has age on his side. If he improves fitness and adds a bit more speed and accuracy, he'll do good. Can already move the ball which is a huge plus and can bowl yorkers at death. Link to comment
