Dont be dumb and argue for the sake of arguing mate. Most people on ICF starts drooling when a bowler hits 140+, I made a measured assessment because I rated his temperament and the fact he had skills to complement lack of express pace. Ab kya bolun tujhe? I am 100% sure you might have made snarky remarks when I rated Arshdeep too. Link to comment

Also you have threads for most of the players. Its not a flex when you do that. Old guy and express bowling 2 Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted June 30, 2024 Share Posted June 30, 2024 He's limited but bowled well within those limitations. His 2nd over has predictably been crap throughout. But has always come back well at the death in these Caribbean conditions. Link to comment

I don’t have a thread for Tushar Deshpande or calling Dube a great player do I? Link to comment

But always liked the guy. His reverse swing has won us the cup. Link to comment

His reverse swing has won us the cup. He was an u-19 product. What I notice with 99% of Indian u-19 players batsman/bowlers is technique and basics wise they are almost much better than most teams. So Arshdeep had basic qualities like moving the ball both ways, seam, accurate Yorkers etc. on top of that his commitment impressed me. In the field or even as a no.11 bat, he showed great awareness. He might have dropped a catch under pressure once but he usually a safe fielder even though not the most athletic. There were a lot of qualities I liked in him and he improved dramatically since then. However I still wish he improves 5k yards to his pace. I don’t think I have ever been inconsistent in that. He is definitely better than Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar,Tushar Deshpande (gosh even their names scream trundler) and has more skills than 140+ bowlers hyped on this forum like Kuldeep Sen, Navdeep Saini. I think Khaleel has fallen off a bit but I rate Khaleel in full form a better or equal bowler to Arshdeep. Edited June 30, 2024 by maniac Link to comment

Ambani speaks gujrati from time to time. Percentages are random. Even 20% may have been liberal. I just wanted to say Gujarat has a lot more claim to bumrah than Punjab. Bumrah is a Ramgadhiya caste's Sikh. Roots definitely in Punjab. Some news channels found out about his grandfather. He was speaking in Punjabi or at least his accent was Punjabi. Poor guy was living off driving an auto in uttarakhand, seems like Bumrah's family abandoned him. Link to comment

Gujarat as a state has more right on him than Punjab. But ethnically he is Punjabi and that matter the most Delhi is a different matter. In Delhi, 95% people came from outside like from UP, Bihar, Punjab in last 80 yrs. States like Gujarat, TN etc. have a distinct identity unlike Delhi which is actually a mixture of cultures. Delhi has more Punjabis than gujrat due to being the capital as well as proximity to Punjab.. hence you would find more punjabi People, language, food, culture .....in Gujarat , bumrah would be hardly exposed to all this... hence he is far less punjabi than a Kohli. 2 hours ago, Number said: Bumrah is a Ramgadhiya caste's Sikh.

Sandz Posted July 1, 2024 Share Posted July 1, 2024 Arshdeep, doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Copped so much abuse on this forum but ended up as the highest wicket taker in the tournament with a clutch performance in the final. Number and Ultimate_Game 2 Link to comment
