rajmarie Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 It's all a strategy. They will likely win 1 out of 3 test match' date=' which should be enough to hang onto #1 spot. If they lose 3 out of 4 then.......[/quote'] Lol....u can tell that to heal a bit of ur own wounds...but in reality...Test cricket is dying. & I say that because to be frank...Ind, Aus, SA & Eng are the only 4 team that attract viewers in Test matches & when play against each other the contest is exciting (excuse the recent Ind tour of Eng). when the board of these 4 countries start reducing Test matches from series between themselves...what hope is for other Teams.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 How fast is this guy 140 to 150ks....consistently.
Dravid_TheWall Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 When it's our bowlers we say "he is only 18, he will get quicker with age." Lol training and nutrition make only some difference, the raw ingredients must always be there. Likes of Brett Lee, Bond, Akhtar, Fidel were always quick.

This guy was so quick, just by looking you could say. Pollard had no chance when he thought of slog ging the young guy, he was amazing. I'm sure he is going to be a special bowler.

That is 4 overs in a match yaar, mainly a 2-over spell where bowler can go full tilt. Yadav and Aaron too bowled 152 and 150 respectively in IPL.

If you would have seen today's performance your words would have been different. I see you have a thing to judge speed's just by looking at the bowler. Dude this was your chance!!! He was extreme pace. He is in the Australian team for nothing ?? He is special.

He is in the nannes mould with a whippy action,he has good pace for 18 year old but its t20 did not look like he could maintain pace with his body.
CG Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Yeah sure !! but none of them were 18yrs of age.!!! aaron was 19 and ishant was 19 in australia too and he bowled consistently quick .

I'll change my username if he 'll not maintain this speed in the ODI's too. :--D . But seriously, that's precisely the point, the action is so easy to the eyes and he generates extreme pace from it, i doubt he'll slow down. He is an aussie and not an indian, don't be surprised if he has picked up some more pace.

He was extreme pace. He is in the Australian team for nothing ?? He is special. I am not doubting Cummins speed. I watched his bowling today. I am saying it is easy to bowl quick in T20 at full tilt because of less workload than in a 5-day game. Cummins is a great find for Australia. I like watching him bowl and never really miss seeing his bowling.

ganeshran Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 South Africa need to 'strategise' around choking problem - Kirsten Gary Kirsten, the South Africa coach, has said his team needs to "strategise" around the problem of squandering winning positions to lose in crunch matches - one that has earned it the 'chokers' tag from many quarters ever since the tie against Australia in the 1999 World Cup semi-final. "You need to have some sort of a strategy around it," Kirsten said in an interview on ESPNcricinfo Weekly. "You can't just be naý×e to think it's not a problem and doesn't exist. There's been a bit of scarring there and it's been going on for a long time. "But then you need to think cleverly and think smart about how you manage that issue. I think it is something that we'll focus on when we get to those events and work out ways in which we can strategise to cross the line." The problem has hit South Africa hard in several major tournaments, including the World Cup this year when they went down to New Zealand in the quarter-final. Kirsten, who was named South Africa coach in June following a successful stint with India that culminated in a World Cup victory, said his aim was to restore the South African team to the top in world cricket. "We all believe that we're a good enough cricket team to be at the top of the pile," he said. "That's where we're wanting to head. We've got to achieve some good results along the way, make sure that we're competitive in every series we play. There's no doubt there's enough skill and ability in the team to vie for a position at the top of world cricket." Kirsten also admitted disappointment at India's performance in England, where they were thrashed 0-4 in the Tests and 0-3 in the ODIs. When asked about what went wrong for them on the tour, Kirsten said: "I'm not sure. I'm not in the environment. It's been a little bit sad to watch them not play well because there was much anticipation around that series in England. Also with Duncan coming in as new coach and he's just been there for a couple of months, he needs to stamp his mark about what he's going to do. I guess it was always going to be a difficult time upfront. "But it has surprised me. The injuries haven't helped. For me, they're a good enough cricket team that they can come back. It has been a disappointment. They probably lost a bit of momentum." Kirsten also praised England for their dominance. "England are a quality cricket team. They are well coached, have a good structure, good people, they have stability in their team and are putting India under pressure. I don't think they'd been put under pressure [by India] in the whole series."
Number Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Though it's a good thinking by Kirsten to have specific solution for this , but I think there is no strategy to counter chocking problem.
