@ sunny u right bro we have tyagi, aaron, yadav, shami, shukla, suyal...These guys can be real future for indian fast bowling.BCCI NEEDS to groom them and have camps for fast bowlers in off season

that was 3-4 years ago when he was just a kid..was not even playing under age cricket for jharkhand was 16-17 only. I have not seen him, and I will only be convinced when I will see him, I am just giving reference of Maninder Singh who saw him at NCA and Mumbai Indians team last year when he was giving coaching there and Rahul Shukla is considered faster than Aaron in Jharkhand circles. I dont have visual evidence but I can only refer Maninder or the articles I have read who called him the fastest pacer in jharkhand. if we can refer ganguly and wasim for mohammad shami who too we havent seen yet then we can certainly take words of Maninder singh too who only took three bowlers' name capable of hitting 150K in India, aaron, yadav, and rahul shukla. but still we need to wait until we see him can he really bowl even 140+ let alone 150. How I overestimated Wagh, yes he is only around 135, but he is a left armer and swing the ball both ways which is an advantage even if you bowl 130-135 if you are a left arm pacer.
Yes Shukla is quick,I don't know if he can clock 150 or not but I saw Shami in eden garden he really bowled quick in the nets,I guess around 140-145kph.Wagh is a good prospect too not as quick but swings the ball both ways plus he's a handy bat at the lower order.

I dont think Varun Aaron can bowl 150+kmph consistently. He is more of a 140 + bowler who occasionally bowls 150. Ishant is more like a 130+ bowler who hits 140+ occasionally and Sreesanth can bowl around 120-125 and notch it upto 130+ sometimes. Varun and Ishant are more hit the deck bowlers than swing bowlers and they will be more effective in conditions like West Indies and Australia rather than England. What we needed in England are bowlers like Broad who could bowl 130+ consistently and increase it to 140+ sometimes but could also swing the ball. In other words, a mix of both Sreesanth(swing the ball) and Ishant(generate pace). Expecting too much from this kid so soon in his career is asking a bit too much. He will be more effective in Australia than in England and with more experience under his belt.
Both Sreesanth & Ishant is quicker than what u think.Sree is 130-135kph bowler & can touch 140-145kph when he's in rhythm.Ishant is 135-140kph bowler & bowls 145kph in his faster spells.In Aussie & this years IPL he bowled several deliveries over 150kph.

yes...lot of pacers are emerging but the most important thing is nurturing and grooming them properly.
No I saw him on neo sports he's not quick.More of an med-fast bowler who hits the deck hard.Similar to Munna bhai.

Shukla is quick but we have to see him bowling in the match situation with proper speedguns.

How fast is sreenath aravind.In IPL he was inconsistent-One match he would be close to 140 and in another around 128.Think he relys only on changes of pace.
He's 78-82mph bowler,not capable of faster than that.plus he's already 27+,very unlikely to see him in the Indian team.

Pls delete unadkat and aravind from the list. Mithun can come good in the future' date=' but we have other prospects like Shukla, shammi, and abu nechim.[/quote'] Dude Aravind:two_thumbs_up: but Unadkat:headshake:

A bowler need to have that kind of action which helps in this proess. Ishant's action doesnt suitmto swing and seam both ways.
Ishant can bowl offcutter and incutter,he just needs to watch some footage of his spells in australia he used to give a real whip with the wrists kind of loose wrists currently he is gripping the ball too tightly so less inswing which really is his problem ,even in nz in odis he bowled some unplayable inswingers.

Btw yadav has very good seam position
Yes I have seen that but maybe change the angle of seam to get more movement,kumble as nca head is great.

Please tell me the names of 3 bowlers in world cricket who can touch 150 at will ? Dude, there arent many bowlers in the history of cricket who would bowl 2 -3 balls 150+ in the same over. So I think you are expecting too much . Lee and Shoaib were anomalies and theres every possibility that Shoaib was on steroids. If any bowler can bowl 1 delievery 150+ in an over ,and the rest at 140+, he is fit enough to be called genuine fast.

^^I know that. What I'm pointing out is there seem to be many people who are expecting too much from this guy already and saying he is India's next tear away bowler and what not. There would be people saying after his debut what's the hype all about, he is barely reaching 140 kmph etc. Even if you look at England bowlers, they only bowl occasionally at 140. So its important to bowl a good line and length and have the ability to seam and swing the ball and also know how to bowl to different batsmen more than just run up and try to reach 150 with every delivery.

^^ I don't think Indian fans 'expect' much now. All they do is 'hope'.. Nothing wrong in hoping for something better.. The main issue is that most of the fans have seen Ishant, Sree, Arpy, Munna and Zak..They are just hoping for a good new addition. If it doesn't goes well then 'tough luck'.. Just let them have some hope..Or are you going to deny that too to them?

Overall the body language was poor and the english media succeeded in putting pressure on Tendulkar regarding this 100th 100 which isn't that important. Grooming some new bowlers will be important. I think Ishant will be critical for the Aus tour with plenty of bounce on offer which he can exploit.

Commentators were frequently saying he was very quick, so thats a good sign but also said he was quite wayward. Hope he isn't the Indian version of Mohammed Sami.

But i'm happy he has a feel of england now, they should play him in the ODI series and not in the T20.

24 hours in England and striaght away in a t20 match against a good side, Varun will be better off with the experience. Good to read that he has got the pace. With better acclimatisation, will di well when he gets a chance in the series.
