The thing is, I dont buy the hype of bowlers who bowl two 145 kph floaty balls in an over with all six of them dropped 1 m apart from each other , that kind of pace is only good for show off, nothing else.

 

Mayank on the other hand, actually bowls a good line and is tall, so I have some belief in him, his modification of action and bringing pace down by 2-3 kph is something i Wholeheartedly support, coz he still is a 145+ bowler and will bowl 150 soon.

Yeah erratic bowlers are a problem. But they exist irrespective of speeds.

Bhuvi was giving width even at 127k, Mukesh bowls abornally high number of no balls even at 130k. But all the criticism is selectively poured against pacers who are fast, while the slower ones are given a free pass. That gives the hint that problem is against the speed, and not the accuracy.

I would take a 140-150 kph bowler who plays a lot instead of a 145-155 kph bowler who is able to play one test out of three.

 

Mayank is a solid bowler and his pace is great, its good enough to rattle batsman with the extra bounce he gets and his accuracy, I don’t know why we are looking for Akhtar when we can get a Michael Holding.

 

Works fine for me, no need to hit 150+ regulatly, once in a while is good enough.

 

The coaches have done well, hope he gets to play a match in Aus, he is probably the only young pacer who I would like to debut in Aus coz from what I see he is able to hit lengths consistently and maintain a line, there is hardly any movement in the air or off the surface but that’s pretty much expected from a 150 kph specimen. 

I am fine with Mayank bowling 145k only if he develops more skills like movement and yorkers too..along with bouncers and slow balls he already has..

His previous usp was 155k with accuracy that alone was enough..

now with removal of “express” he will need to develop those extra skills to troublr the international standard batters..

Mayank has bowled 140 k to 150 k in all 3 matches. And another thing noticable is that the batsmen are standing very very deep in the crease while facing Mayank and still getting hurried and getting hit on slow pitches. 

 

Plus he has been accurate and bowled well overall.  Never been expensive and haa picked up 4 wickets. 

 

I agree that his USP is 155 k bowling and he should get back there. ( I too would prefer that he plays 2 matches and bowls 155 k instead of playing all 3 matches and bowls 150 k ).  But don't think he is replaceable as a bowler even at this pace as he is still hitting batsmen physically, picking wickets and not giving away runs. 

I will make the judgement after seeing how he bowls against SENA batters in patta wkts..

If he doesnt get predictable to quality batters and not get lined up then its good..

This is all due to removal of “express” tag I would like to see more

I’ve never seen him bowl Yorkers. He probably thought it was a low return high risk delivery for that pitch. But would have loved to see quick Yorkers to lower order batsmen. Something to add to the arsenal.

 

I saw him bowl a few in IPL, especially in that spell to Dhawan. Good news is that there're a lot of areas Mayank can improve on, and with these gaps he's much better than likes of Avesh and Prasidh Krishna.

I think he will bowl quicker in later series .. atleast upto 152 / 153 k.

 

Pacers invariably bowl a bit slower in their comeback series.

He did bowl in this series..perfect yorker to Mehdi Hasan Miraj which he defended well..2nd he attempted in last match which turned out to be lower full toss..work in progress

Good thing about Mayank is his accuracy..and good bouncers..he seems to be working on slower bowls and yorkers too..after more game time and practice and improved fitness..he should be able to have more control over them hopefully..

I also noticed he slightly uses wrist at the point of delivery..could be natural..but if he works on it and add more purpose to it..he may develop some movement as well..

These are all the points which makes him dangerous even while he has not achieved his express pace yet..

 

Lets see how he develops..He has solid foundation..

With his previous action, his left leg acted like a fulcrum and helped him xfering all the momentum he generated into releasing the delivery to the ball.

 

Since he is not running quick, that momentum transfer is missing.

If he has more control now..even with slightly lesser pace..he can practice using some wrists..it will make him very lethal..even with this current pace

I don't think so - but I hope am wrong and you are right.

 

I cannot remember any express pace bowler who came back after an injury with a retooled action who has bowled at the same express pace as before the injury.

 

I "think" this injury was not serious and Mayank's action was fine.... but it gave them the excuse to fiddle with his action. How much they have fiddled and how much damage they have done with their fiddling remains to be seen. IMHO. Ever since what was done to Pandurang Salgaonkar long long ago, I don't trust Indian authorities. They despise extreme pace amongst Indian bowlers. IMHO.

 

However I sincerely hope you are right.

I'm interested to see how he fares when he's bowling to Travis Head and England batters on batting tracks at 145k instead of these Bangla batters.
That should put some sense into him and the people tinkering with his action. My guess is he'll be taken to the cleaners like most other bowlers.

You can't just run in significantly slower than what you did previously with no other compensating change in your action and then expect to have no significant drop in pace.

 

But if he can get accustomed to his updated action by then with some additional compensating changes, then that's different. The latter is what I'm hoping to see. But not guaranteed. The SA series is a good test. That should help answer most of our questions.

That's what I want to see as well coz pace alone (145-150kph) won't faze them. Likes of Buttler, Head, Marsh etc. will sit back in the crease and wait for shortish deliveries to hammer them. Let's see how he can change the length to keep them off balance and quiet.

Cummins wasn't 155 bowler when he came. His top pace was 150 but mostly around 145.

 

He hit `150 in a Test match. In T20 he might have touched 155 around that time
