Will Gambhir, Agarkar and their teams be able to identify and give chances to the next lot of Indian strike bowlers ?

I believe Akashdeep can be picked for odi as well, as he has great line and lenghth also he can bat well as well. His only Achilles hill is his fielding which is worst than chahal.

 

Both Akashdeep and Harshit have low bowling averages in all 3 formats. So there must be some white ball skills there. And both can score quckfire 25 to 40 runs.

 

While Harshit has known death bowling skills, Akashdeep is an unknown entity in this aspect. 

 

We should try Akashdeep in a couple of low profile ODIs snd see where he stands.

Akashdeep is a good pick. Very accurate pacer who is sharp, gets consistent seam movement and zip off the deck. Gets bounce too. Has low FC average. 

 

Dayal seems like a Category 2 pacer. Infact, with a FC average of around 29, is he even that ?  Medium pace and high FC average is a bad combo for a pacer.  

 

High FC average means he has issues with consistency. Do we want an inconsistent medium pacer !

 

His pluses are height and bounce. Moves the ball from time to time. 

 

But seems like a left arm quota pick to me. Left arm pacers were never important in tests. The great WI and Aus teams never had any. They are a must only in T20s.

 

 

Left arm pacers are important for counties like India ... Where we have good off spinners 

 

 

Left arm pacers create rought around the offsrunp which can be used by spinners...

 

Grounds like SCG ... This strategy is very important ...

Nowadays, all right arm Indian pacers bowl round the wicket to LHB atleast 2/3rd of the time. This will create rough for Ashwin too in SCG. Australia has 5 LHB .. Khwaja, Head, Carey, Starc, Hazelwood.

 

Moreover, this logic applies if there is a good quality LA pacer. Picking a lower quality LA pacer, for the sake of creating rough, is a defensive strategy.  Ashwin playing means there will be only 3 pacers and one of them cannot be a weak one. 

 

Also Ashwin has taken 500+ wickets without the help of LA pacers in most matches.

Hopefully this will take our cricket to the next level and keep the guesswork out of selection/coaching.

 

BCCI have been getting away with murder with their relentless domestic schedules and travelling and that has hampered the development of our quicks 

 

Especially since our quicks are not built like tanks.  They are wiry and their builds are slighter. 

 

All domestic bowlers should be GPS tracked from domestic tourneys + IPL to monitor workload, actions and performance and states/IPL teams should strictly comply with workload guidelines set up from here.

Gambhir and Agarkar have introduced 3 accurate and quick or sharp pacers.

 

Mayank .. Express .. 6'2" or 6'1" tall .. 22 yrs

 

Harshit .. Fast .. 6'3" tall .. 22 yrs.

 

Akashdeep .. Fast-medium .. 6'1" or 6'0" tall .. 27 yrs.

 

We need an accurate, hit the deck,  6'5"+ pacer who is atleat fast-medium. 

 

To add to .... 

 

Bumrah .. Fast .. 5'11" .. 30 yrs

Shami .. Fast-medium .. 5'9" .. 34 yrs

Siraj .. Fast-medium .. 6'0" .. 30 yrs

If Umran Malik can become accurate like IPL 2022 then he can be a good backup express pacer 

 

Umran .. Express .. 5'9" .. 24 yrs

● Express .. Mayank, Umran

Yeah, Gurnoor Brar is 6'6",Fast-medium, bouncy and 24 yrs.

 

Needs to be groomed. Problem is he has very little domestic cricket experience. He was used ax a net bowler by Gambhir and Morkel and that's a plus. 

 

Such high release points with bounce would pose a different challenge. All great pace attacks kept atleast 1 such pacer.

 

WI 76 to 85 .... Garner

WI 86 to 95 .... Walsh, Ambrose

Aus 94 to 2005 .... McGrath

SA 07 to 17 .. Morkel

Ind 15 to 21 .. Ishant
