Is Varun Aaron the answer?

Being English i don't know too much about this young fella, but having dug around for some news on him he seems a genuinely quicker bowler than the current lot toiling away over here. Consistently over 140k's and can reach up to 150K's is not bad at all. But looking at his FC stats his bowling average is 38.48, which is quite high no? So this is directed at anyone who has actually seen him play on TV or live, and not just in T20 as i don't think that is a good judge of players. Any insights would be interesting, action, pace, swing, bounce?? all that stuff! A proper diagnosis! Cheers
Hi luvablubba, yours is the kind of post that identifies you as a true cricket fan ( as opposed to some foreign trolls found here ) , so thank you. My analysis of Aaron -- -- I have watched him in domestic 50 over game highlights and he has looked quick visually. The speed gun readings have been between 142k to 147k mostly. Whether he maintains that pace in international cricket or chooses the easy way out like many of his predecessors remains to be seen. -- He bowls outswingers and and incutters mainly. -- He has a tendeny to bowl frequent short balls -- hitting the deck hard and making them rise. He has a good bouncer. -- His height is around 6' but he looks shorter because of his large head and strong build. -- I don't think that he has mastered the art of taking wickets consistently yet. But he was reasonable accurate in the IPL and bowls from close to the stumps. -- It would be too optimistic on the part of us to expect him to take a lot of wickets in his first season. He has still got a lot to learn and is not a finished product yet. -- The Indian seletors should give him sufficient chance to develop and learn as he has the potential to be really threatening. He should not be dumped if he does not produce miracles in this series. ( there is very little chance that he would ) -- I am apprehensive whether he would lose pace after his first season, like many Indian pacers. Would the Indian team management try to ensure that he does not --- that is the main question. In a nutshell he has the potential and the basic qualities to be a fast strike bowler in 2/3 years. But he should be looked after properly and too much should not be expected from him too soon. Also, what his own attitude is and whether he is prepared to bowl fast for the next 8/10 years, only time will tell.

Really? that's pretty good if he can bowl close to 90 mph occasionally in international matches

Don't know whether he 'll be answer to bowling problems or not, but he can't be worse. More importantly , by keeping a 120kmph trundler already 27 (Vinay) in the team , we are going nowhere. Anderson , Broad , Lee none of them were excellent bowlers when they started their careers , they learned as their career progressed. So we'll have to develop him by giving intl experience.

If the question is "Whose photo is used as fapping material by rkt.india at night"' date=' then yes.[/quote'] Yes you are actually right add Umesh Yadav, Rahul Shukla, Sudeep Tyagi, Mohammad Shami Ahmed, Brett Lee, Shaun Tait, etc to this list too. But for sure your post shows how interested you are in talking about cricket. You better continue your fapping whenever someone makes it large.:giggle:

Don't believe the hype' date=' he will fizzle out quickly. From what I've heard and seen he hasn't got much except a little pace[/quote'] He does not have any thing except pace, but what Munaf and Vinay have, they both don't even have that pace, at least Varun has some pace about him.

Dhoni was talking about our bowlers are not deceptively quicker. This is a new kind of a bowler now. What defines deceptively quick. Is a bowler who can bowl consistently over 140 is not a considered as deceptively quick or deceptively quick is something else. Though Dhoni does not have deceptively quick bowler, but he certainly has a deceptively slow bowler who when runs in his runup looks like to be delivering a thunderbolt but at the end his runup ends faster than what his deliveries reach to the batsmen and a batsman can easily have a nap in between before having pies served by him. He is so deceptively slow, so Dhoni's strategy is that batsman gets to sleep sometime while playing him and he gets through the defense of the batsman. But unfortunately for Dhoni, this bowler has not even been successful in doing this. He needs to up his pace a bit now because he is even too deceptively slow to reach the stumps. He actually deceives batsmen while making a batsman gets to sleep but because of the deceptive slowness of his delivery, it stops before hitting the stumps in between batsman's legs and the stumps.

Don't think he will be our answer atleast from what i have seen so far. Seeing our bowling performances we have set our bar so low that every one who can bowl is the answer except the one who bowled in England.

If he is not something likes of Suarav Ganguly and Akram would have not been asking for his inclusion.

Seems like he is a fast medium bowler who operates around high 130's and low 140's (still quicker than Indias attack) who just happened to bowl one ball recorded in the 150's (probably through speed gun error) and is now a genuine quick.
Looks like somebody rubbed red chillies in Serani's backside :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

Does his coach have the same eye speed gun as you? Suprised he was not bowling 175K's....
Again a personal derogatory remark by Mr Serani on a senior member and I am not surprised to see no action being taken on him by our so called moderators.

This is a typical of indian Fans we want instant results,if aaron has talent he needs to be nurtured and backed to hilt and developed .then we will see results.
