Variety of lengths. Nice collection. What a bowler.

Something strange that he gets so many bowleds but not even a single LBW.

Shami certainly attacks the stumps, but he doesn't usually get batsmen out by bowling full. The classic Shami dismissal isn't the viciously dipping Waqar Younis-style yorker. Instead, he gets batsmen bowled when they are rooted to the crease, moving neither forward or back. This is perhaps why Shami doesn't get all that many lbws.


The typical length Shami hits when he gets batsmen bowled isn't the traditional good length, which batsmen generally try and get forward to, but one that's slightly shorter. It's fuller than, say, Ishant Sharma's natural length, but shorter than the length Umesh Yadav bowls when he lands his outswinger just right. It's probably the length he grew up bowling.


From that length, the ball often goes on to hit the top of off stump in Indian conditions. Couple that length with his skiddy pace, and Shami becomes an uncomfortable proposition for most batsmen to handle. When that length meets that skid and a fifth-day surface like the one in Visakhapatnam, he becomes close to unplayable.

Thats because of the special ball made by ICC for Shami. Indians dont have skills.

so zero WC wickets v Aus. What a loser. Drop his ass

[Vijy]

it's 47 wkts now, and could have been more if he bowled more overs

[speed_thrills]

Man, Shami had such a killer short ball in 2015 & 19 WCs, now he relies mostly on full balls to get his wickets.

Wrong, Shami does have skills but that's only because he was abducted at birth from Pakistan by RAW.

I think In Indian conditions this is the best weapon.

In top 5 wicket takers for this WC despite missing 4 games. Just like 2019 WC. 

 

Perfect time to drop him for Thakur

yeah annoys me when people hype Shastri. That was such a basic error.
