hari504504 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 I mean cmon!!..1 billion people and noone can ??! I'm not buying that.. we're just effin lazy Dangle 1 million dollars(Not ICF $..Real money!) up for the first bowler(international,domestic, rookie from nowhere) who can clock 1) One delivery at 158 on the speed gun 2) Bowl one over with average speed at 150-155 With a legitimate action ofcourse This can be either controlled conditions or in a match. Someone like Mallya can sponsor this and he automatically gets someone for his IPL team plus he can run some kind of reality tv show too ( not a bad investment at all) Anyone who does that gives the coaches(not venky!) something to work with. If Atul Sharma really exists, then he can prove it to everyone plus pay back whetever he owes Ian Pont - chance to redeem himself !
cowboysfan Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 :wall::wall: every new poster has speed on their mind ,just give me another bowler like zak and i will be happy.

He need not play all the time... Would be that xfactor that just leaves a trail of destruction behind
EnterTheVoid Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Look, don't make this any harder than it is; Expecting your bowler to bowl 150 kph ball after ball, over after over, day in day out over the five days, test after test, is just not practical. Really, what part of such simple logic is so difficult to grasp ? As for Tait, he is only to be used in short bursts, bowl a few overs here, a few overs there, scare the batsman, inflict some bruises on them.

Yeah yeah we're no.1 in tests and all that.... But if we had such a bowler..all those armchair critics who keep saying we're not good enough - we wouldnt be hearing a squirm out of them..

He need not play all the time... Would be that xfactor that just leaves a trail of destruction behind ofcourse i would like to have them but these phaast bowlers break down easily(look at akthar and tait).pure pace is not a good prerquisite for a good pace attack,a bowler who out thinks the batsmen is much more valuable.
hari504504 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Posted February 5, 2010 ofcourse i would like to have them but these phaast bowlers break down easily(look at akthar and tait).pure pace is not a good prerquisite for a good pace attack' date='a bowler who out thinks the batsmen is much more valuable.[/quote'] ocourse agreed!..we do need the workhorses who toil and get the wickets... but we need the bowler who can occasionally make an appearance and "bring the door crashing down".... except for Zak recently, have we ever had a strong reason to watch India bowling ?
EnterTheVoid Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 The reasons you have given so far are really very infantile and very silly. Look at the Indian pace attack, not one bowler particularly feared for their pace, yet the results, well, they speak for themselves.

Look at the Indian pace attack, not one bowler particularly feared for their pace, yet the results, well, they speak for themselves. Talk about results.. lets look at the most recent one... Our batting makes our bowling look way better than it actually is !... Did you watch the bang boys smack our bowling around in the second test at close to 5rpo...without breaking a sweat ? While their bowlers were making our batsmen hop skip and jump.... well.. we clearly have a stupendous batting line-up..we batted our way out of it..and the bangs self destructed - ..along with a freak spell by Zaheer out of nowehere...result= win !.. and here you are basking in the glory Just because we don't have something..we sit-back relax and bank on our strength=batting, not realising that the day it fails(everything does at some point), nothing's stopping other teams from walking all over our bowling
hari504504 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Posted February 5, 2010 When Ishant was making Ponting hop all over the place in Australia?? Point !..Can we have someone like the please :two_thumbs_up:
satishg Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 I would prefer an Zaheer over Tait corrected :winky:
satishg Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 well i meant we would rather have another bowler like Zaheer than someone who breaks down after 1 series
