PK or Sree??

[rkt.india]

Who said Praveen cannot ball with the old ball. He looks more threatening with the old ball

This is England so he is doing well with the old ball in overcast. It wont swing in India.

In these conditions, seamers are going to do well but some brilliant bowling by Sree to pick up 3 wkts of Eng's top 7. Provided the early strikes, which Ind missed at Lords in the 1st inning, to keep Eng under pressure and make it easy for other bowlers. What a performance :yay:

No doubt about that. Although at Lords Ishant was a lot off colour with his line and length which didnt help

Yes Sherlock, wasnt this whole thread about the England series?

Apart from Zak, other bowlers didn't bowl well, esp. with the first ball at Lords. Which is why you need guys like Sree as if they fire, they can cover up of others. Forget the ER, what's more imp in tests is SR, you need someone to provide you with those early breakthroughs. I was hoping Eng to see 150/5 but at 124/8 that's just incredible performance by our bowlers led by Sree's early strikes At TB, Sree delivered a probably series changing performance, if Ind go on to win this and the series

Sree can reverse swing with the old ball like you saw at Kanpur. For reverse swing, you need a bit of pace :winky:

[Blue Panther]

i want both. will be lethal in swinging conditions' date=' i want both of them even it means to go with 4 pace bowlers.[/quote'] i always knew i am just a phacking genius.:--D

Sree and Bhajji :hysterical:

Appears as if Bhajji's pic jinxed our seamers :antijinx: clean the tail up :P

Well Ishnat did pick up the first wicket leading the early strike. Plus Lords was pretty differnt to Trent Bridge. Its very difficult going into a game with only two main bowlers. Today if either PK or Ishant had been off color or injured, England would easily have recovered to score 300 + like they did the last time

Actually instead of PK vs Sree, this thread should have been PK+SreeVs Bhajji

Actually instead of PK vs Sree' date=' this thread should have been PK+SreeVs Bhajji[/quote'] My 3 first choice bowlers would be Zak, Sree and Ishant .... The 4th spot is open

PK picked up an early wkt in 2nd innings at Lords too, I guess that was an early strike and Ishant effort didn't mean much Appears as if you are too shy to give the credit where its due :hysterical:

I am not and I am really happy for Sree as he is bowling well and has put India in a good position. But do you also concede that PK can be as threatening with the old ball(and not just with the new as you consitantly claimed) and has bowled well? Two dropped ctaches or he would have more wickets Also, there have been numerous occasions when even after early strikes and opposition being 3-4 wickets down, we have not been able to get them out because other bowlers didnt stand up. Bowling with 3 bowlers in form is much better when only two bowlers are bowling, like in Lords

We need to clean the tail quickly, but that also shows that there are runs on this pitch And yeah PK bowled well in these conditions. I am not saying that he doesn't bowl well but some other options would be more effective if there were a choice to pick one. Not bowling well is more in comparision .... My understanding was that PK was picked over Sree at Lords so I was speaking w/ that in mind. Sree is much more an impact bowler and if we win this series, there would be a decent contribution from him :icflove:

[kabira]

still PK making bowl talk..Good thing about him, he sticks to his strength.

Change the topic to PK/Sri/Ishant or Bhajji :facepalm:

And a decent contribution from PK and Ishant in the same match. Without any one of the three, and considering the form Bhajji is in, England would not have been 9 down now. One partnership was all it would have taken to get the game away. Yes Sree did take early wickets but putting the whole credit to him is unfair to Ishant and PK who bowled equally well

[rkt.india]

Yes Sherlock' date=' wasnt this whole thread about the England series?[/quote'] and i supported PK for this series ahead of Sree and made a thread first..

Sree is a swing bowler too :facepalm:

Sree can bowl bouncers and reverse swing it at decent pace like in kanpur 2009
