Are you satisfied with Shami's return?


Recommended Posts

Do not think there was much to it, played just 2 games bowled some 5-6 overs because of various reasons.

looked bit of out of shape, bowled around ~135 kmph. He just kind of came and rolled his arms a bit.  complete waste of 5 matches should have played 4 matches atleast.

Slowly getting back to groove, I am overall happy that he got overs under his belt. He is still our best ODI bowler, even better than Bumrah.

 

 

They are Ying and yang. Like wasim and Waqar. Shami is like waqar- will take more wickets but also will get clobbered more.

He has played Ranji match than SMA and VH trophy then got picked for England series.

 

Needed to play more Ranji though don't you think? And then made ODI squad

 

Would have been better for him getting longer spells rather than the odd over here and there in T20is

He absolutely won’t be a fit for the longer format anymore. He's not some 25 year old. He’s had chronic knee issues for a long long time now, and has got much worse lately.

If anything, shorter format is where he can still have somewhat of a career. 
 

He was mainly averaging 135 or less in the T20 format. The odd couple of balls at 140 don’t reveal anything. I’d look past him and groom guys like Mayank (when fit), Umran, Harshit, any new upcoming fast bowler.

 

Are the selectors, captain and coach delusional?
