he is a trundler with ball. and his FC batting has been poor. does seem to be a good choice for LOIs

Has bowled decent pace today.. Into the mid 130s and a wicket so far and had a catch dropped off him.

 

We have to acknowledge his bowling is getting better

130s (and lower) is the definition of a trundler.

 

As I wrote in the post you quoted, he is a promising LOI candidate

Harsh if you call him a Trundler. The lad bowled quite a few deliveries @ 135+, but then I don't know any better. 

 

I agree he is very exciting for t20s at least

Mukesh has clocked 143 this IPL IIRC. Let me clarify further - if he becomes a batting AR, this current pace is sufficient. However, for bowling AR, he needs to start hitting high 130s regularly (i.e., most of on-pace deliveries).

He's never going to be a bowling allrounder.

I don't suspect. But is he actually 20? His muscular structure doesn't suggest that.

Saw him first time in the previous game. All hyped up, doesn't pass the eye test. Ask @maniac

If he can become a batting allrounder why does he need to bowl 150 clicks? He seems to be a better bowler than Daryl Mitchell, Stoinis, Marsh etc. or at least if he can be as good as them what’s the problem? Seems to have good slower balls and other skills, more than enough for a 6th bowling option or shared 5th bowling option.

My eye test gave him a A+ premium. Not because he is Reddy but because I feel he is “ready” :)

I used to rate you high but not anymore...

 

He is a run of a mill cricketer and disappear into oblivion in couple of seasons ... like ventajesh Iyer etc etc

I didn't say he has to.  I was just pointing out that he can only become a batting allrounder .

 

Genuine bowling allrounders are rare.

 

I don't know about him being better than those guys.  They are all tall and bowl into the wicket heavy balls pretty well 

 

If he can do something similar, he'll be a good option to have

fair enough. I don’t think anyone thinks he is a top 3 seamer for India in any format. The difference between him and Vijay Shankar or Venkatesh Iyer is they don’t have much of a batting temperament. It looks like they can get out any moment even if they start looking good. In both the knocks I have seen of Nitish, it looked like he had a plan and there was no blind slogging. He played according to situation. That’s why I like him so far. Let’s hope he evolves. Dube is another guy who has shown great batting temperament while i definitely think Dube is better as a batsman on current form and experience, Nitish definitely seems to be a better bowler. I have only seen Dube bowl tripe.
