From memory , Vasuki Koushik is a 120 kph trundler and they couldn't score off him.

Vasuki is a better version of Mukesh Kumar.

Anybody who's not hyped on this forum is a 120 kph trundler most likely

Winning a trophy after a long time. Great victory against a great team after both openers failed. Abhinav Manohar, Smaran and Shrijit’s performances standout.

 

Jai Karnataka!!

Jai Bhuvaneshwari!!

Bhuvaneshwari is considered the goddess of Karnataka, like Bharatmata. In nost of the old historical movies of Kannada, the war cry is “Jai Bhuvaneshwari” just like @Jai Bhavani” for Marathas!  
 

Nothing to do with lejhundwa Bhuvaneshwar Kumar!!

Better? Bro, doesn't this Vasuki  bowl at Debashish Mohanty's pace?

 

Mukku bhai has clocked 144 kph even in international cricket. Not an elite talent but not sub standard dibbly dobbler either

When was that?

[tapandrun]

Kaushik has an action as if he has back pain, another dibbly dolly bowler do not think he can bowl 125+ kmph consistently.

In t20s he bowls few effort ball like that not consistently 140+kmph, but 140ish kmph and effort ball 140+kmph.

this is v.much what ind tm and selectors have been looking for in t20is, some1 who bowls 140ish kmph and few yorkers here and there.

Mukesh has bowled some 140k effort deliveries, like Arshdeep & Harshal.

But he is a 128-135k pacer.

 

Kaushik is slower but gets that movement off the pitch. Not good for internationals but enough to toy with domestic batters. Can bowl with old ball.

 

Mukesh babu doesn't get that movement once bowl gets older.

True. But the point was we can't take our domestic seriously at all if these sort of trundlers are bowling so effectively.

Indeed...that's why I compared Vasuki with Mukesh Kumar.

 

Neither deserve a place in international games. But if one is given a place just coz some posters consider him "skillful soldier", then other too has a case courtesy of skillfulness.
