jusarrived Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 So, say now he is 90MPH, he gets his Indian call up, after a year he is down to mid 80's and after 2 he is down to low 80's. The story of India fast bowlers, biggest example Ishant "I want to bowl 100MPH" Sharma. I have a solution for that . import those speed guns used in England , even Praveen kumar might bowl 100MPH then .
hari504504 Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 yep. Regardless of whether Umesh gets a chance..I blv Ishant closely followed by Sreesanth will be our fastest bowlers in the tour.. Umesh may get the odd one upto 145..but he'll be low 130s on avg in a long spell..

Umesh may get the odd one upto 145..but he'll be low 130s on avg in a long spell.. On average he will be faster than both...because he is more athletic than the two...though because of their experience at international level they can be more effective than him...in SA you do not often need express pace...just need to put on the right place at a decent pace around 135...if a bowler can do it..he will be successful....

Zaheer should play only if he is fit..it will be irritating if he plays and sits out for most of the time

Wednesday 12th January 2011 "My goal is to play Test cricket" Umesh Yadav is keen to focus on his goal of playing Test cricket for India. The 23-year-old wants to use IPL as a platform for fulfilling his dream of playing Test cricket for the country. "IPL is the best platform to showcase your talent. The money and glamour attached to it is okay but I will not get distracted by that. My aim is to play Test cricket for India because that is the ultimate test of any cricketers's mettle," said the young bowler, who has taken 13 wickets in seven Ranji Trophy matches this season. Umesh, with a base price of USD 50,000 went for a whopping USD 750,000, in the much hyped auction at Bangalore where some of big names remained unsold. "I never expected to bag such a high price. Frankly, I thought that I would get around 1.5 to 2 crores but 3.5 crores has come as a surprise to me. I will try to give my best for the franchise that has spent such a huge amount on me," Yadav told PTI Bhasha from Nagpur. Media reports suggested that ego clash between franchisees turned out to be the main reason behind the whopping bid for Yadav but the bowler feels otherwise. "I think I got the reward of a good domestic season and the franchise also knows me very well as I was a part of Delhi Daredevils team in last two seasons as well," said Yadav. The medium pacer from Vidarbha considers himself lucky that he was a part of Daredevils dressing room, as he got a chance to learn a few tricks of the trade from none other than his idol Glenn McGrath. "McGrath is my idol and I have learnt a few tricks from him during the second season of IPL. I also watched his bowling from very close quarters, which I think did wonders for me." Yadav also said that despite not playing any match in South Africa in the recently concluded three-match Test series, he has learnt a lot from the senior Indian bowlers and gained valuable experience. "Though I have not played any match in South Africa but learnt a lot from Zaheer (Khan), Sreesanth and the coaches. This experience has made me a better bowler, which I think will come in handy during the IPL 4. I hope to perform better than the previous two seasons," Yadav said.
punjabi_khota Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Ofcourse. IPL as a stepping stone to tests Good luck man.
rkt.india Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Statements wont make you play test cricket or to play for India..work on every aspect ofyour game and you will be there spontaneously...
kabira Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Good that he wants to do that. IPL will make sure some pretender may never play test cricket.
King Tendulkar Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 He has great potential. Would loved to see him get run outs on odis. Must be used after world cup in odis to get him taste of international cricket and see if he is ready after tests
Hindustani Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 he is lucky that he is a pace bowler, can easily make it into Indian test team, by default of course!

Sooda Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 A 2nd division pacer who got smacked around by Zimbabwe. If he plays test cricket for India lord help us.
rkt.india Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 A 2nd division pacer who got smacked around by Zimbabwe. If he plays test cricket for India lord help us. Zak was thrashed by bangladesh in WC and that same bangladesh team was beaten by Zimabawe...and still Zaheer plays test for India....find a good logic....any bowler can be smashed around but important is how someone learns from that and improve himself and he is still young age 23, inexperience, and is fastest bowler in India right now with what I saw in last one year.......
rkt.india Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 He bowled up to 146k in challenger trophy 2010 and it won't be a surprise if he touches 150K in this IPL...best of luck to him:two_thumbs_up:
rkt.india Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Good that he wants to do that. IPL will make sure some pretender may never play test cricket. what are you talking about?
rkt.india Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 A 2nd division pacer who got smacked around by Zimbabwe. If he plays test cricket for India lord help us. one of 2nd division team is in Ranji final

I am going to see every match in which Umesh Yadav plays ..why bcos I feel he is genuine talent and shud play for INDIA.....Best of luck to him.
kabira Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 what are you talking about? I meant there will be some players who will know themselves they are not good enough for test cricket and because of IPL they will not push themselves and be contend playing IPL and domestic cricket...
