RP Singh to replace Zaheer

[Jayaram_IND]

Varun looks short but he is as tall as rp' date=' zak, irfan, taller than sreeshanth and pk both. Watched highlights of one ipl game and he was taller than pathan when both standing together[/quote'] Are you sure ?I thought Irfan was close to 6 ft if not more.So you mean varun is close to 6 ft?Searching for sources on his height but couldnt find any.

how dare you compare aaron to malnutrion victim unadkat who bowls at 120km ' date='by what you[/quote'] In terms of out put i don't expect much from Varun either. Output is what matters. You cannot randomly give test chances to bowlers without any iota of credentials. Probably for T20 they can try. Test. A big No No. Probably that will end his career. He has a long long way to go.

Yes if he is very special.Frankly he is not special.Neither is Umesh

Anyone who can bowl 145k is certainly special for start. i have seen him bowl 5 overs on trot at 140k+ in one day domestic with 5-wicket haul.

He may not be very special, but he is special for sure. Because very few bowlers in world cricket who can bowl at pace and swing it both ways.

I would like to see him making his debut in ODI and T20 before going for tests. Test cricket takes a lot out of the player and I don't think he is prepared for that. Shorter version would allow him to bowl within his limitations and learn gradually.

Ya varun is close to 6 feet, umech yadav is shorter around 5'9.

Peter siddle consistently clocked 145k to 150k in India. He is not special.

Brett lee bowled at the same pace and he was special . Look at the brighter side.

Why he is not special. He has a great start to his career, decimated england in one ashes test on his own. India thrashed warne, he is ordinary

R.p singh will not play tests and may not even play odis ,its better to give a youngster a feel of international cricket,anyways if he does well in emerging players tourrny he will get a chance.but its a shame that some indians do not know value of pace even though they see their own batsman struggling aginst it due to some misplaces belief that western countries batsman play fast bowling easily

[Blue Panther]

Thanks for the info mate.

r.k.t is the wikipedia of pace bowling.

he had a injury. And lost pace that's why he is struggling but he still can comeback

Though we should wait on aaron for time being and let his game develop a bit more and also fitness wise. It will be good for him. He should play more A games and tour games. if we draft him now, it may be early. yadav and aaron need 1-2 year of fc more.

sreesanth is 5 11 to be exact,

[rkt.india]

sreesanth is 5 11 to be exact' date='[/quote'] 5'10...i think rp is 5'11, pathan too. he is shrter than rp and pathan, zak is 6, taller than them

[rkt.india]

Initially i too thought varun is very short around sir aggy height, but when ia saw him along side yadav and pathan, i realized he looks taller than both. He has the kind of muscular build that he seems short, but he is fairly tall.

5'10...i think rp is 5'11' date=' pathan too. he is shrter than rp and pathan, zak is 6, taller than them[/quote'] sreesanth looks taller than zak ,he mentioned in one of his interviews he is 6 feet tall but i think he is 5'11 ,r.p is taller sure.
