For quicker bowlers we need quick pitches,otherwise likes if umran and prithviraj will struggle searching for swing.

Hard bouncy surfaces needed nothing for spinners

Parag must be given Chances Post WC...  T20 series vs Australia just after WC should be a good start.

my worry is ,is he a minnow basher ?  I had lot of expectation in this year's IPL but he did nothing . Last IPL too was not good.  How come such gr8 performance in Domestic but beyond that a failure for 2 seasons in IPL. 

Hope he comes through better this year.

Headline: Ashutosh Sharma beats Yuvraj Singh's record

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/smat-ashutosh-sharma-smashes-fifty-off-11-balls-to-break-yuvraj-singh-s-record-1403792

 

With all due respect, that is such a ridiculous comparison. Yuvraj made 50 (12) against England. In a WC. Sharma made 50 (11) against Arunachal Pradesh. In SMAT?

 

To top it all off, the fastest 50 record is held by DS Airee 52 (10) against Mongolia.

 

It's only in T20 cricket that the lines between different levels are blurred.

More i see it, he is more a specialist batsman than RR thinks he is. He probably deserves  a different role. IPL can sometimes make some players worse than they are same time it can make some players better than they are (example Shivam Dube)

The bou has talent..he is young and got the limelight early..he just need to settle down a bit and concentrate more on his game..

I agree..he needs to be given more stabilizing role..he is their such a long investment..

[cowboysfan]

anybody look at karnatakas bowling attack?that is probably as good of a bowling attack we have had in a long time.I will be pissed if we dont win the SMA trophy.

Impressive

 

Opening the bowling 4 overs 3 for 9 plus 76 not out in 37 balls.  Once against a lot of sixes. He needs a run in ODIs

[singhvivek141]

Yudhvir with new ball is a tough bowler to face, has decent pace, gets good bounce and movement as well.

 

It's never easy to play such bowlers who bowls heavy ball with pace, movement and bounce...I wonder why he wasn't preferred earlier ? As he is already 26. He is even troubling Jaiswal with his pace and movement.

[singhvivek141]

Umran is running and bowling well today, it seems he is in zone. Accuracy is good as well so far.

[singhvivek141]

Umran is always at his best when he bowls fast. Today is one of the days, when the bowl is actually hitting the bat.

 

Barring Yashasvi, so far none of the batters have been able to play him at ease and are late at the shots. Even Jaiswal also had few edges courtesy of the raw pace. Hope he maintains it.

[singhvivek141]

Harshit Rana's death bowling skills are not very well refined. At this moment he is more suitable for red ball cricket.

Abhinav Manohar is taking him to cleaners and he doesn't have yorkers.

 

Mayank Yadav should have played here.

[singhvivek141]

Tyagi starts with 145kph

Today speedometer is there in UP vs Nagaland game.

[singhvivek141]

Tyagi bowled 140-145 his first over. Movement at pace.

[singhvivek141]

Tyagi 140-147 in second over, movement at both edges of the bat...hit the shoulders of batter with a fast and ferocious 140k bouncer.

 

A fully fit Tyagi is the most exciting fast bowler in Indian Cricket...such a variety of skills he has.

[singhvivek141]

Tyagi's finishes his spell with 8 runs in 3 overs.

Pace in third over is 142-146.
