Nehra is awful and should not be anywere near Indian team


Recommended Posts

I was just looking at how Ash and Zak have bowled in matches were both have featured- and not too much difference between the two. Zaheer is better of course. Just thought its a nice way to compare in matches where they have both played- so same oppo, conditions etc In 66 matches Nehra 90 wickets at 30.36 and ER of 5.11 Zaheer 101 wickets at 28.12 and ER of 5. I refined that so it just goes back two years...r In 15 matches Nehra 18 wickets at 39.94 and ER of 6.67 Zaheer 17 wkts at 40.52 and ER of 5.4 Now in comparision with the other first choice ODI bowler Praveen Kumar Over the last 2 years, thats 24 ODIs Nehra 36 wickets @ 32 and ER of 6.04 Kumar 26 wickets @ 37.7 and ER of 5.23 So if Nehra has not exactly set the house on fire, he certainly has not been much worse than Zaheer. More expensive that is true but just as good a better wicket taker...and a significantly better one than Praveen, if again more expensive This is of course ignoring the intangibles like what effect having the other paceman at the other end or generally on the pitch had on each of their bowling forms in those matchs and on the batsmen they were bowling to...
