Cricket Tragic Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 So what is the verdict on Aaron from those who watched the game? Harsh to jude on 1 game but still.
hari504504 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 So what is the verdict on Aaron from those who watched the game? Harsh to jude on 1 game but still. I normally don't watch IPL(cricinfo usually), but I tuned in just to see this guy bowl. His first two overs didn't really inspire much. Yeah he got clattered around - but regardless he didn't seem all that special to me pace-wise or otherwise.
desi pride 1234 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 umesh yadav clocked 150 today, but went for four tho:giggle:
vishalvirsingh Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 He hardly balls straight though he was fast ...there were 50 @ercent of balls above 140K so it clearly says he is quite fast... He and Varun are fast and if he is coached to be more straight he will get more wickets..I feel Varun may not be faster thAn umesh on an average basis but he may be a better bowler than Umesh.. If I have to pick 1 in my team I will opt for varun
msb1991 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I reckon they will alternate between the two throughout the tournament. They are roundabout the same standard and Delhi don't look like dropping Pathan. Might be good to alternate them as it keeps them both fit.
VRV Singh Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Yadav looks the quickest of the lot, forget the speed guns he just looked rapid today.. Phack all threat though easily smoked for boundaries. Guy needs accuracy and variations to be a threat.
msb1991 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 He is 23, he has time on his side. It is promising to see an Indian bowling so quickly. The next step is to try to get him to move the ball around a bit. He bowls the ball dead straight and that'll get him nowhere.
saneindian Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Mithun was hitting 140s consistenty today with a top speed of 145. Was putting in a lot of effort and it showed on the speed gun. Was bowling good line and length and with some luck could have added a few more wickets. Maintained that speed in his 2nd spell as well. Unlike the last 2 IPLs, when we saw too many Indian pacers content with bowling low 130s, this time a number of our pacers are going over 140. Thats good to see. Hopefully from this lo,t at least a couple can continue to maintain those speeds in one dayers and first class cricket as well.

Today yadav bowled fastest delivery of the match 150k...faster than MOrkel
rkt.india Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 He is 23' date=' he has time on his side. It is promising to see an Indian bowling so quickly. The next step is to try to get him to move the ball around a bit. He bowls the ball dead straight and that'll get him nowhere.[/quote'] He gets out swing when he bowls fuller length outside off..one he delivery he bowled to Kohlli and was beaten. His problem is he bowls too short at time and when bowls full goes on to the pads...his type of bowlers who are short in height should always try to bowl full length and get the batsman forward and then he will get swing to because on these pitches he has to pitch it too short to get bounce unlike Morkel who is tall and most of his fours today were edges through third man or just slight pushes by the batsmen...ground was small, one boundary was as short as 50-55 meter...ball in the gap and it was 4...
saneindian Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Today yadav bowled fastest delivery of the match 150k...faster than MOrkel And Mithun's spell was far more threatening than Yadav's. Also surprised to see DD rest Aaron. He should be playing each and every match especially after his spell vs Punjab.
anotherhawkeye Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 typical paki opinion full of rubbish :finger: Come on guys, pak supporters can comment on this forum. He was just stating his opinion, in a polite way that too. Criticizing every pak supporter post, no matter the content, gets old real fast.
vvvslaxman Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 has any one seen yadav pick up a wicket ever ' date='bcoz i surely dont remember him picking one[/quote'] That is not important as long as he can clock 145k. That is our goal. Finding 145k bowler.
rkt.india Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 And Mithun's spell was far more threatening than Yadav's. Also surprised to see DD rest Aaron. He should be playing each and every match especially after his spell vs Punjab. Yah..Mithun solved his problem of bowling too short in this game. He was looking to hit good length and he generated good pace too...he is learning and that is a good sign. Same is with Yadav, he is not a tall bowler so short balls are not his forte and cannot be his stock ball..his stock ball is inswinger and he can move the ball away too if he pitches the ball at good lengths, but he tries to hop the batsman with pacy short deliveries and lose his direction as well in this process. For a bowler of his stature, it is important that he bowls fuller, good length, short of good length and yorker length, this way, he will give the ball a chance to move in the air or of the pitch.
rkt.india Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 That is not important as long as he can clock 145k. That is our goal. Finding 145k bowler. Right now, it is not about how many wicket he is taking, it is about how much he can learn with this. He is still very raw and you can learn anything but not pace which he has. It is all about guidance for him now. Eric Simmons should work on his lengths, he bowls too short at times. Yadav is not a tall bowler so short balls are not his forte and cannot be his stock ball, only be a surprise weapon, Morkel 2-3 years back was the same, used to ball too short and too full....Yadav's stock ball is inswinger and he can move the ball away too if he pitches the ball at good lengths, but he tries to hop the batsman with pacy short deliveries and lose his direction as well in this process. For a bowler of his stature, it is important that he bowls fuller, good length, short of good length and yorker length, this way, he will give the ball a chance to move in the air or of the pitch.
King Tendulkar Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 IPL is helping our pace bowlers. They know they are being watched and know speed guns are on. They are running in bowling hard, which is what we want. In time am sure a few good speedsters will develop. Bowling fast on many indian tracks is waste of time often, hence our pacers slow down to look for other methods. But we will reap benefit of this pace obssession in ling run. As many will find bowling fast comes natural more they do it, and will then when it is natural start to bowl accurate with movement and pace. I am very very hopeful

He should be playing each and every match especially after his spell vs Punjab. i was also dissappointed to not see Varun ysterday...WHY??? Sehwag should use his head more effectviely..varun got DD gilly and hence they won the match. Varun shud play ahead of many their.
