Yudhvir playing

He is 29 and listed as medium fast. I had thought he was a younger, fast bowler like Rana or M. Yadav. Disappointed with 25-1-95-0 performance. Am striking him off the list.

He is 27 and no he was among standout pacers in Ranji Trophy.. against good sides.

The pitch is pretty flat I read.

You're right. Sorry. Back on my list for now. Still disappointed that he was not "Fast" or at least "Fast medium."

Hopefully consistently, and not a 1-off here and there. Wait-and-see mode.

 

In the previous match, Rana seemed to have decent figures. But he doesn't feature in the SF. What gives?

He is in Dubai for Asia Cup like Arshdeep

Duh. I am turning into my students - not bothering to look up the information where it is easily available and bugging the professor

How poor have these pitches been. Teans batting on and on in QF on last day, now SZ batting for two full days, 450 is a norm, nothing for pacers or spinners. Slim chances of outright results. First innings lead is what teams care for. This at BCCI CoE.

 

Where are the curators who could produce high quality sporting wickets? Suddenly feels like I am reading domestic cricket scores from an era we had left behind.

[deepdynamo]

Its 2025 and BCCI is still producing these cringe roads in domestic elite cricket. Perfet reciepe to break the back of any proising fast bowlers and reward those tireless trundlers.

He is fast medium.

Bowls 135-140, in T20s can clock 143-144 as well. Gurnoor is similar as well.

 

We don't have many fast bowlers, Tyagi has slowed down by 5-8ks, Umran too looks a 135-140 pacer with the recent video....Mayank too is now as quick as Kuldeep Sen.

 

USP is tall and high release, so gets natural bounce. Though his primary skill is to seam the ball off the pitch. He isnt floaty with his good length deliveries like Prasidh.

Are they playing on roads? or small grounds. Seems like every tom, dick and harry are making runs.

They are preparing them for next ENgland tour i suppose to slog on those roads.

Sindhu scored 80 odd with the bat and took 5fer with the bowl.

Just 21 year old but has given multiple such performances in FC.

 

Sad that as he doesnt fit in T20s and is a permanent bench member of CSK (as they cant look beyond Jadeja), no selectors even care about his development as a potential next gen allrounder.

What was his speed range in UPT20 ?

Umran is likely to bowl 140 to 150 when match fit. 

 

But will he cross 150 ?

Tyagi's quickest was 145, he was predominantly in 136-142 range.
He was trying to bowl quick, but his new action seems to have "caged" his flow. He may click 147-148 once he settles down with his action but I'm not very hopeful if he will clock 152-153 again.

Umran's case, we need to see. I am keeping my expectations down with him as well. Coz the quick hip movement and the fluent weight transfer seems to be missing in the video.

These matches are happening at BCCI Centre of Excellence and they have served these highways. At least center of excellence should have good pitches

[vvvslaxman]

Tanush Kotiyan is repeatedly proving he is a crisis man.

tyagi --based on highlights, he was mostly bowling cutters or slower ones with 1-2 140ish kmph.

Hardly bowled anything over 143 kmph in the whole tournament (may be just couple of balls) , but wont be surprise if he takes the same route of cutting down the pace.

 

 

In last few years Ind has preferred 135-140ish kmph bowlers in the t20i side. and may be on effort ball touch early 140 kph.
