All the Pakistani bowlers are actually trundlers, they get into the national team by claiming local club level blind sloggers. Their true talent can be seen in the International level where they fail and are unable to win matches, forget about tests and ODIs, even winning a single T20 International is far away from the reach. That's the greatness of Pakistani fans, even after such a pathetic performance by their national side they don't stop blabbering and still keep talking great about their players. QUOTE=panther;2649340]Tanvir is a proven t20 bowler, his rightful format for the real deal we have junaid, gul and irfan.

Saw Shammi Live in wankhade he was terrific- He will be a super hit in africa

totally

[msb1991]

I think Kumar, Shami and Yadav/Khan will be a strong enough attack in South Africa. Big pressure on the batsmen though as Steyn, Philander, Morkel in South Africa is the world's toughest challenge.

[vishalvirsingh]

Zak is history as I believe Fast bowling Requires a lot of rhythm strength And youthfull ness....I feel zak is now 130+ bowler...less than 135K He won't be better than bhuvnesh now and seems he won't improve

But he wont replace BK. We need to take 4 seamers at least, maybe 5 in squad. 3 of them locked in as Yadav, BK and Shami So need 2 more. Zak doing well in ranji and left armer. Unless you saying what unadkunt??? Plus other seamer like Ishant and vinnay??? Zak could be very useful for another year in tests

[saneindian]

Once again we need to keep our expectations in check. An attack of Bhuvi /Shami / Umesh /Ishwar will have a total experience of some 20 tests! Bowling against a lineup that has 4 players averaging 50+ and playing in their home conditions. Keeping SA down to 350-400 and not letting them bully us like in Eng/Aus would be a good enough step in the right direction.

[vishalvirsingh]

Zak was a great bowler 18 mnths b4 But Today Is he bowling 140K Is he Swinging the ball Does he have the Stamina of a bhuvi or Shammi or Yadav I saw shammi at wankhade today and he was possibly bowling 137 to 143k consistently at best line n length And with some dangerous bouncers... I liked his Run Up as he was running of at least a 15 to 18 yards Which was a good enuf run up.....if he is running well, chance is he wud get good Pace ( unless he is legend) I am not sure how godd zak is today but is he doing wonders in Ranji Now

[vishalvirsingh]

I believe we shud Take Umesh BK Shammi Dhawal Kulkarni Varun Aroon if fit Else Ishant Sharma just bcos SA wickets r bouncy N ishant"s strength is Bounce. Pragyan and ashwin as bowling AttAck.....

No one is saying should replace bk, shami or yadav. Just have him in squad He is showing form and is clearly slim and trim. We all know has the skills, so even if 90% of what used to be, that is way better then other options

[Lord]

people still want Ishant?:blink::hysterical:

[express bowling]

If Zak is in the squad, he will surely be in the 11 if fit. Then who will sit out ?

[express bowling]

I did not see all of Shami's deliveries today. The fastest I saw today was 145.4 k. Yesterday's quickest was 146 k. Ist innings quickest was 145.9 k. Average pace always around 139 k / 140 k. So quite quick consistently.

[express bowling]

Umesh sadly

I feel, an attack consisting of Shami, Umesh and BK would be a better combo of pace, skill and fitness. If Zak were to play, he should replace BK unless the condition is very conducive to seam and swing.

don't think they'll do that though.Umesh hasnt played in this series too.so if Zak is playing he would be the one to miss out I think.
