The Outsider Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Well all things considered Ian..you're wasting your time here or for that matter any of the other forums. You NEED to stop posting now..we don't need to hear any of this. Rubbish post. Ian is free and welcome to post his views along with every one else.
Sachinism Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 he has every right to post here and clarify his stand.......he is a respected voach who has been maligned because of one of his trainees actions.......i fully support Ian on this Not showing good support by having Atul on your avatar :giggle:
Show_stopper Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Rubbish post. Ian is free and welcome to post his views along with every one else. :cantstop: Indeed he is at that...but think about all the worthwhile things he could be doing instead? Coaching other players out there etc. I mean..I seriously doubt anyone with info on Atul is going to turn him over to Ian after reading all this. So what exactly is the point of all this? Afterall we here at ICF are certainly not Crime Branch,Mumbai Police. I can't see how the situation would improve by him continung to talk about Atul on forums..as he himself admits..he is as clueless as everyone else.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Not showing good support by having Atul on your avatar :giggle: Atul may have done a runner with IAN's money but i truly believe that as IAN said Atul could bowl fast and sooner rather then later he will turn up bowling some where..the Avtar is to show solidarity to Ian's belief IAN,if you will be kind enough to post your views about some other fast bowlers around the world like,Dirk Nannes,Shaun Tait(heard you coached him) or may be some other up coming Indian bowler yu might have com across
Ian Pont Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Atul may have done a runner with IAN's money but i truly believe that as IAN said Atul could bowl fast and sooner rather then later he will turn up bowling some where..the Avtar is to show solidarity to Ian's belief IAN,if you will be kind enough to post your views about some other fast bowlers around the world like,Dirk Nannes,Shaun Tait(heard you coached him) or may be some other up coming Indian bowler yu might have com across I have recently worked with Ravi Bhagchandra - the REALLY tall medium pace bowler who I think has played Ranjii Trophy? Does anyone know him? He certainly makes it bounce! And we did some work on his action and finishing off. He looked a bit faster by the end.
Ian Pont Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 It would be really good to spend some quality time in India and help develop some local players. I am looking into the prospects of setting up a SPEED CAMP in India so bowlers can maximise what they have without losing their control.
rkt.india Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 hi Ian, I dont think any one knows any thing abut this lad Ravi Bhagchandra to my knowledge, how old he is?
Malcolm Merlyn Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I have recently worked with Ravi Bhagchandra - the REALLY tall medium pace bowler who I think has played Ranjii Trophy? Does anyone know him? He certainly makes it bounce! And we did some work on his action and finishing off. He looked a bit faster by the end. nice to know that IAN btw what is his height IAN..Did you see the IPL and an Indian bowler Kamran Khan in it?at 19 he bowled at 143ks with no proper coaching what is your impression of him?........btw can i ask you something?I seriously want to know how some one like Dirk Nannes is able to generate such pace at age of 33 when people lose pace? Another thing,recently Usain Bolt lowered the 100mt record by .11 seconds,do you think as our bowlers get fitter and stronger with better understanding of bio mechanics....Can some one go beyond that 100mph and it becomes more common for bowlers to bowl faster than that..
Arminder Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 can he bowl also??? Gym mein zaada dikh raha hai :haha: India alwayz missing much faster bowler.like brett lee, we dont miss akhter type bowlers.. all bowlers like zaheer, RP, munuf r now medium fast bowlers. they were fast at d begining.
dial_100 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah.. I think there is not point asking who can /cannot post here... I think IAN is a respected fellow. And I look forward to his post more than many here because he works very closely with the real players.. IAN, thanks for the update.

Atul worked hard and was hoping to attain full fitness for a late entry into the competition, but that now looks unlikely. If everything goes well, he may be fully fit in time for his team's match against Middlesex Panthers, English Twenty20 champions, at Lord's on July 6. Sharma has based his cricket training at the University of Potchefstroom and the North West cricket facility, Senwes Park in Potchefstroom since December. The IPL switch from India to South Africa meant Sharma stayed put. DreamCricket.com caught up with Atul Sharma in Potchefstroom. DreamCricket: How does it feel to be part of Shane Warne's Rajasthan Royals? Atul Sharma : It's a great honor to be on the team, to just be in the presence of so many legends - all masters of their craft, just to sit beside them. So much to learn just by watching them play and interact. DreamCricket: We were eagerly anticipating the debut of India's fastest bowler. How are you dealing with the disappointment of getting injured? It must be really upsetting. Atul Sharma: Well. The mood remains upbeat. I am just looking forward to getting fit so I can repay Rajasthan's faith in me. My shoulder is strengthening every day. It's annoying it happened when I wasn't even bowling but that's how it goes with injuries. Everyone gets them. I am fortunate to have met some amazing people who have helped me. My route to the IPL is hardly traditional... DreamCricket: That I would have to agree with. Your IPL draft was unconventional and different from the time-tested approach of selection in India... Atul Sharma: The IPL is a fantastic platform for getting talent out of every corner of India. I am not the only player who has been drafted in this manner. IPL has pitched several unknowns against world-class players and that makes the whole event a magnet for fans, TV and media worldwide. Anyone can emerge from this and get a shot at the big time. DreamCricket: How did it all begin? Tell us about your journey to IPL. Atul Sharma: It's been a hectic few years. I spent six months at IMG in Florida, then University of North Carolina, back across to MCI training camp in the UK, out to Potchefstroom, home to Mumbai and then out to the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) in Brisbane. My goal was to improve my ability to bowl fast and achieve Olympic level fitness. DreamCricket: Tell us about your experience at the University of North Carolina. Atul Sharma: At Noth Carolina I trained with Jeff Gorski, the world Javelin Champion - one of the best and most respected Javelin coaches of the world. I learnt Javelin technique and strength conditioning there. The two sports that would come close for training in fast bowling would be baseball pitching and javelin throw. Of the two, javelin comes closest to fast bowling in terms of run-up, arm pull and stretch reflex. In consultation with my coach, Ian Pont, we came up with javelin training. DreamCricket: Does that mean that you bowl like a javelin thrower? Atul Sharma: To find out, you would have to wait until you have seen me in action. But don't worry - my bowling action been assessed by the Australian Insitiute of Sport, and it is fine. DreamCricket: Mr. Pont has said that you are built like a power-lifter and a sprinter. Good ground speed, immense power, and a good throwing arm. All the attributes of a fast bowler. How fast have you been bowling? Atul Sharma: I have been bowling high-90s. 100 mph is not improbable - I have it in me to do that. The whole idea is to bowl accurately and still be very very quick - that has been my mission. DreamCricket: How did you end up in Florida? Atul Sharma: There is this academy, I am sure you have heard of it, it is called IMG in Sarasota, FL. They do a lot of sports training - baseball, soccer, football. They have an institute called IPI - International Performance Institute. I went there for strength and conditioning training. Trained to handle the forces and stresses that go through ones' body while fast bowling. I was at IMG for 6 months. DreamCricket: You are starting with Twenty20. Do you think you can scale upto ODI and playing test cricket for India? Atul Sharma: That would be a dream come true. Growing up in India, every kid wants to either join the army or play for India. It would be a great honor if I can get that chance. Fitness wise, yes I can scale up to that level. DreamCricket: Thanks Atul for talking to us. We wish you a speedy recovery. We hope to see the first USA trained IPL player in action very soon. Atul Sharma: Thank you.

I wish we could have seen him in this IPL. Training is only one aspect of the game. Personally I believe cricket is not all about power and extreme fitness alone. It is more about having a cricketing mind (reading the game well). Atul needs to be evaluated on such parameters before we cane make some kind of conclusion. May 19, 2009 11:45 PM Ramesh said: Yes, cricket is not all about strength. But its nice to see athletic prowess. Good luck Atul. Kudos to Pont and Gorski. May 20, 2009 7:05 AM roshan.singhal said: IPL has been called the batsmen’s game. Every commentator says that it’s the batsmen who are going to win matches for their captains. However, what we are seeing off lately is batsmen aren’t able to really take charge. It’s actually the spinners who have swung the game. Of course one can’t deny the role of a Malinga or RP Singh as fast bowlers but it’s Ojha and even Rohit Sharma who have won matches. So much so that in my dream team that I have formed at the Fan Friendzy site www.happyhourswithfriends.com, I have selected 3 spinners out of 4 that is allowed. I think I will be able to score highest with more spinners and actually win more points there.
