Countdown to Ishant Sharma being ranked number 1 bowler

[Deleted_User_1]

Bumrah, Shami, Ishant is a potent lineup for any pitch that provides some assistance. Backup Bhuvi if pitch/weather suits swing. However, Saini should get a run in test also.

 

Looking forward to NZ tour early next year. India can win provided the batsman can survive to put enough runs on board. Bowling will be lethal for sure!

expect top order (with the super-flaky KLR) to have big troubles against thunderbolt and southampton (southee).

Yes, I am hoping they put enought runs on board for the bowlers to have a go at the NZ batsmen because they will struggle against the moving ball as well. I think would be foolish to have flat tracks because India will have better chance of winning. Having a green top with plenty of movement and bounce is their best bet and hoping our maharathis fail more than theirs.

quite likely. Kane + Ross is probably almost as good, or slightly better than, rat + chepu. Nicholls and watling have really stepped up and are arguably better than rahane + pant. Grandhomme is a real threat on green pitches: from being almost part-timer he is transformed into central bowler, and his batting is more consistent than people would imagine.

Might be, but I will watch more keenly than the home series, where advantage to India is so lop-sided they may not even lose a test.

yes, unless we screw something up very badly, I don't think Ind will lose any home series.

Bump!!!

Humble pies being served to all those who used to be critical of Ishant such as posters like @Vijy who used to think it is an insult to for Vaas to be compared to Ishant. The latter will surely surpass the former's 350 odd test wickets very soon despite being a support bowler for his team.

Ishant has improved leaps nd bounds.. but it's a shame he realised what all he could become so late.. all these years he has been dishing one innocuous short pitch length ball after ball..   

He is indispensable in overseas.. with amount of swing he gets nd the newly acquired deadly leg cutters he is bowling ... He will be very effective.. as earlier all he could do is to bring ball back in.. now he can make it leave to the right handers.. 

Nz series will be really exciting to see.. with bumrah, Ishant, shami nd even bhuvi hunting in pack

Ishant Sharma is probably the sorriest individual to play so many games. 

 

Does not have much talent, zero brains but probably excels in off field services and favours to always linger around.

 

Was a sad day when he didn't jump from a tall building for Dhoni.

 

An imposter of a cricketer.
