Senthilnathan, who will accompany Rahul Shukla of Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu's Sunil Sam to England, said, ŵhe bowlers will undergo three-dimensional bio-mechanical tests at Loughborough where 14 high-speed cameras and laser technology will be used to assess and fine-tune their bowling action. The former South Zone batsman added, Ŵeveral promising Indian pacemen, including Varun Aaron, have benefited from a stint at Loughborough in the past. And several well known names in English pace bowling such as Chris Tremlett, Tim Bresnen, and Steve Finn have been to the MRF Pace Foundation.

MCcricket Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Sunil Sam if I remember right is seriously built like a reed, taller version of Venkatpathy Raju , I would be pleasantly surprised to see him bowl fast
nsareen Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Sunil Sam, look at the threatening biceps :(( :nervous:, i'm getting shivers already.
nsareen Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 he looks like he needs to Hulk himself a lot, lot of protein, and some carb. for his good. Man he is a living legend of malnutritioned Indian bowlers. He needs to represent Uganda, Kenya in their Marathon races, forget cricket.
MCcricket Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 I wanna see him bowl , that will be something, india has found it's very own Bruce reeder , even thinner version , but MRF might have seen something in him , but then even mohd Zahid was kinda thin,ill name him 'Naryal pani express'
Stuge Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 he would have been a bowler even at state level ,if he was malnourished .yes ,but he looks lean to be a bowler .
