Suyash sharma's economy rate is insane. 3.50 !!! Damn.. India needs to somehow sneak him into the side.

he will be there soon..

[singhvivek141]

Abhinav Manohar smashed 40(13) vs Tripura.

5 sixes.

Always like the power hitting & confidence of this guy, sad that he gets overshadowed due to presence of Rinku. But he is one striker which we should keep and eye for shorter formats.

Umran missed hattrick by a whisker...for sure bowling 145-150 atleast.

Fast accurate and onto stumps...no more timepass of bowling short of length.

Ends with 3-27(4 overs).

 

Great bowling by the J&K duo of Umran & Yudhvir.

 

 

This is what I want to see from Umran.

 

Very fast and stump directed bowling with bouncers only as surprise balls.

 

@Mosher, @Suhaan   good to see.

Should also look to develop some swing/reverse swing skills.

A strong yes.

 

Just straight bowling doesn't trouble good batters these days.

Vyshak gives 55 in 4 overs...no questions on his bowling attitude because he is a trundler.

Had it been Tyagi or Umran...commentators would have lynched them blaming their pace.

@express bowling, @Suhaan, @Mosher

Dihati ex domestic cricketers have no clue about slow poison that is what most of these short trundlers are

No bounce no movement,Indian trundlers infact are very erratic for their pace

They get owned on regular occasions

Mediocre dihati ex cricketers don't have it in them

Umran chewt must watch his 2022 IPL spells,why this moron listens to these dihati  domestic ex cricketers

He's fast ,he should make up his mind for his stock lengths

Being express,he should make peace with himself that he like other fastmen will sometimes go for runs but shouldn't be abandoning his stock lengths,only he can make things Outta nowhere,he's elite should realise

He's not some random Kumar or KM Asif

Variations should be used as variations dont make them predictable bumpers every now and then

Chewt sala, throwing his foot on axe by going to these dihati ex cricketers for suggestions

Many wud die for to have capability to bowl at that pace..he is wasting it..he must realize his X factor and try to find ways to be effective with it..

Even our premier pacers like Boom and Shami at their peak..found their own magic without listening to mediocre experts..

This, Umran must see what separates him from the other quicks in this country.

If he will start bowling at 135-140 like others, no one will ever bother to look at him as at that pace, with that height he is competing with other quicks who are better than him. Look no further than Rasikh Salam from his own team who is short and hence unable to graduate further due to his 135-140 pace.

 

He has control, he has fitness...he doesn't need to be "sarvgun sampann". He just bowl fast at stumps at 145-150 clicks..you miss I hit logic. He blew out Iyer, Miller & DDP with such deliveries only. Reverse will come gradually once he matures.

Leave the bounce & hit the deck things to Prasidh, Tyagi, Sen, Yudhvir type bowlers who are blessed with height...only use bounce as surprise.

These sides Should hv picked Ashok Sharma and chikara..

as far as Ravindra/Malingaish is concerned..if I am recalling right..we already discussed about him during RPL..his pace and wkt taking needs to go up one level..

I had some good hopes from Vishal Godhara too but Rajasthan played him in prevSMAT practice matches against Haryana and he failed to leave his mark and went for some runs..Harshal Patel opened for Haryana lol..

UP vs Gujrat going on.

Tyagi picked up 1 for 27 in 4 overs, Mohsin 2 for 13.

 

Target for UP is only 128, they should Ideally be chasing it. 

Nagwaswallah's bowling action is quite similar to Mukesh C, getting good swing as well away from leftie...pace is in 128-134 range

They need to drop their captain Karan Sharma who is good for nothing. He reminds me a lot of Jaydev Shah from Saurashtra who was another nepotism kid.

 

Madhav Kaushik or Swatik Chikara should have played ahead of Karan Sharma. Rinku can be the captain.
