rahulrulezz Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Kamran bowled around 142 km/h in his 2nd over.... Compare this to Munaf Patel whose fastest ball today was 128.6 km/h... Munaf even though is of Dadaji age but still bowls around 135 in Internetational matches...even MascaRenes was bowling around 113 even though he bowls around 124ish in International matches... so that mean these speed guns are showing slower pace than usual... Kamran surely looks quicker than 142 to me... I say he is one of the biggest find for us .... hez only 18 years so I am sure he is 145+ bowling prospect for us !!
Gambit Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 But his action isn't the cleanest. It will need remedial work which will in all probability lead to significant loss in pace.
h4te Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 needs some control. too much on the leg side. but yeah, hopefully in 2-3 years, he'll be taking the new ball with Atul Sharma!!!! :woot:
bharat297 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah he does seem like a good find. I hope he is one bowler that focuses purely on speed for the first 4-5 years of his career. I wanna see India produce a bowler that can beat the 160 km/h mark. According to wasim Akram, once you hit 24-25, its very difficult to increase your pace by a significant margin.
The Outsider Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 His action is fine - with that slinging action it's almost impossible to chuck. As for the pace it was obvious that Munaf and Masscharenas were deliberately taking the pace off the ball.

As for the pace it was obvious that Munaf and Masscharenas were deliberately taking the pace off the ball. Yeah....thats right. With that action, if he chucks, he will end up injuring his elbow.
WeStMiDz Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 It straightens from a bent position. Like Gambit said, not the cleanest action...

Agree with you Mate..... Screw line and length.. Enough of these Salvi, V.Prasad, Salvi, Munaf Dadaji, J. Sharma, Kuruvilla, Yohannan, Ranadeep Bose and our non-ending list of Line and Length Trundlers.... We need an all out Pace bowler... Line and Length will come with time ... hopefully Kamran wont give up his Pace like Ishant Sharma... Our Idiot bowling coach Venky turned Ishant into a trundler... Venkatesh Prasad in his time was more like Kumble... He was the only frontline pacer in the world who used to spin the ball......Batsmen used to be more scared of his faster ones(125km) than normal 110km/h cakes...
rahulrulezz Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 But his action isn't the cleanest. It will need remedial work which will in all probability lead to significant loss in pace. Nope mate... he action is almost similar to RP Singh/Malinga.. His action is clean
flamy Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Agree with you Mate..... Screw line and length.. Enough of these Salvi' date=' V.Prasad, Salvi, Munaf Dadaji, J.

GTFO paki :finger:
rahulrulezz Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 he's 20 On the statistics showed on tv, they showed his age as 18
graphic23 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 If you think Ishant has slowed down his pace to focus on line & length, you're not only an ******* for liking the *******/drugge in your avatar but an ignorant idiot.

I do not know a single bowler who survived purely on pace. A very fast delivery bowled short and wide is of no use at all in international cricket. Speed can be his priority. But no international bowler can screw line & length and survive.
The Outsider Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 It straightens from a bent position. Like Gambit said' date=' not the cleanest action...[/quote'] Try straightening your elbow from a bent position with that action and tell me how it goes.

Show_stopper Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 He has terrific yorker..ideal T-20 death bowler. Should be on that plane to England for WC T-20..if not the slctors can shoot themselves.None of the Indian bowlers bowl the yorker as accurately as him.

Dude, Pace doesnt mean throwing Full-Toss juices.... All I m saying is Line and Length will come with time... our Ranji is full of these L&L bowlers.... I am sure at International level, you have to bowl at line and length..Kamran will easily learn it but hopefully he wont give up his pace for that.... if you are Pace bowler, you should be bowling 140+ bowl yorker or chest high thunderbolts than 125km/h L&L candies...

You don't understand. Only pace matters because line/length is useless. Have you seen the last 20 matches where Ishant has slowed down and has not bowled on line/length and has gotten smacked left and right? Oh wait, you must have - you don't have your head up shoaib akhtar's ass.
