Marco Jansen

[Suhaan]

Very impressed with him,he has bowled so well here

I think he is very underrated,he's up among the best upcoming fastbowling ARs

He's crucial part of the powerful up and running Engine room of South Africa

I have never found them this strong,with genuinely good athletes,this is their year

Infact would be first in my list of ARs now

Can move the ball, can bowl heavy balls,can go full, everything, you name it

Trust which has from SA think tank shows what a specially gifted player he is

He comes at 7 ,can knock around when needed

Also has this tremendous ability to clear boundaries at will

Lets discuss about him

Good contender for player of the tournament if SA wins it

[nitinbwj]

He is THE biggest threat to Indian batting. Lethal left handed tall bowler generates lots of bounce,has pace and has more regularly taken wickets in PP. Also,can tonk the ball a long long way.

[Nikhil_cric]

When Rabada, Coetzee and Jansen are in rhythm, it's the most watchable pace attack currently.  Pure fire - Effortless pace, bounce and movement.   Peerless pace attack.

 

Jansen is easily the most impactful player in this World Cup.  Scary potential.

I'm sure Marco's brother (Juan) will make his appearance for South Africa in the future  , a tall fast bowler aswell

[MediumPacer]

Good bowler no doubt ,infact all 4 are pretty good,best pace quatret I have seen .

[mishra]

Watched him on his debut in Tests as well as odi. Was impressed by him immediately by his bowling and pottentially what he could do. Since then occasionally watched him against England.

 

And in this world Cup, he is one of my favorite players. Never realised he will be handy with bat too.

 

Superb find for world of Cricket. And best bit is his down to earth gentleman approach.

 

Really really love to see him bowl

I have seen him in tests mostly and he used to bowl around 130-135, what has happened here? He is bowling 135+ consistently and even hitting 143 , with that height and 135+ pace he will be a menace the more mature he gets.

Some time ago (around 2018) they had Steyn , Morkel , Rabada, Philander, Ngidi

The Coetzee guy is very good but his pace drops sharply after the first few overs, he can get laterally movement at 142+ which is rare these days, also has a very awkward bouncer which rises steeply at the last minute

identical twin too.They can literally sub one out for the other during a game

[kubrickian]

He will be most lethal under lights at Mumbai because of the extra bounce, otherwise at Kolkata or Ahmedabad wont be too much of a threat.

100%

 

SA is a very bad match up for India in Mumbai

[vvvslaxman]

Bit erratic. But that is hwere he is dangerous. Went for 87 runs against Srilanka. Also Rashid khan bullied him in the 20th over in one of the match. He can be erratic.

India is not going to play semifinals with SF, India and SF will be 1 and 2 or vice versa.

Yeah but Ind will be 1 then right.

 

If SA is 1, Ind will be 2.

 

If Ind is 1, SA will be 2 or 3.

 

They cannot be 1-4 or 2-3.

He is nowhere near as good. The talent level right now is night and day. Duan is cannon fodder at this level

 

It's Duan not Juan btw.

[NameGoesHere]

First time I saw Jansen few days ago he was hammering the living daylights out of England. Scored 75 off 42.
 

I though SA had another exciting new batsman. Really looked the part.

 

Then I saw him open the bowling at pace and I seriously was like:

 

[prinzo]

can someone post the video link of the Jansen brothers as kids meeting their idol Virat Kohli.
