Bhumrah keeps getting injured

Shami is on last legs

Siraj is already declining

 

rana -- have been good so far

Arash -- donot think he can sustain pace 135+ kmph in odis

Pardish -- have been no improvement

Mayank-lets just not talked about him till he makes a comeback/recover for never ending injuries

Akash-- After 1st game does not looked the same bowler

 

Need a proper plan to get new bowlers, get them play fc and list a else, there is a difference between t20 bowlers's skill-set and test bowlers skill-set.

This IPL auction and playing 11s have shown the ipl teams does not want proper 140+kmph bowler are more likely to play 130 kmph bowlers with t20 skill-set- Rasik, Ashwini, Sandeep, that new Mi bowler can not recall the name.,prince etc. are the ones IPL are inclined towards

 

Won't worry about T20s, thats a gimmicky format and IPL will keep on producing such bowlers every season who will serve for short period and then wane off. Some might stay for long like Arshdeep. 

 

For Eng tour, they need to trust the existing bowlers. Harshit, Shami, Siraj, Bumrah, Akash & Prasidh. If anyone of them gets injured then include one of Yudhvir, Gurnoor or Sen (Yudhvir is ahead as he had a very good season in Ranji, despite bowling with old ball).

The problem of fast bowling appeared due to injuries to Prasiddh,Sen, who were with the team.

The selectors didn't have foresight and instead of taking risk ,they choose to be safe and selected Mukesh,Avesh etc.

 

In the absence of Shami ,Bumrah ,Umesh if  Prasiddh, Siraj ,Sen,Saini, have been fit our fast bowling would have looked better

@express bowling has mentioned above what I would have liked to post anyways..divinding the bowlers per format..

However I would like to add..that we should start looking to groom.. Yudhvir and Gurnoor..they are unpolished for now..but who knows if they work under some expert guidance..can give good results..as we dont want to overwork likes of Siraj..and need some injury covers too..

 

Not sure what Nehra ji did with Siraj and Prasidh but they are looking good atleast in IPL..there is some sting in their bowling..we should try to use his experience in NCA or whatever..if possible..

 

 

 

Bharat Arun, Nehra/ Zaheer should head a body that looks after top 10-15 fast bowlers

I have seen prasidh bowling in the last match and he looked class apart ... This guy is serious talent

 

I agree with the fitness and all .. but he has stepped up and the last match in australia would have given him the confidence

 

I would love to see him in Indian colours in all three formats .... But his work load has to be managed

Prasiddh should be selected only for test as he has fitness issues .

In absence of Bumrah and Shami he can be the bowling spearhead along with Siraj.

If the plays the full IPL ,there are chances he will miss England tour ,due to injury

What is the transformation back to 130kph trundling ?

Prasidh don't have skills for T20 yet, he is doing well now coz he is being used more in the middle overs and we have an extra bowler in form of impact sub.

 

If he can do well in Tests and ODIs, that should suffice.
