Umesh yadav-pretty impressive.

[express bowling]

Varun can swing the ball both ways as was evident in the recently concluded Irani Trophy.

Varun , Umesh are friends , let them be in the squad learn , grow, compete together, Varun has g8 seam postion , can swing , reverse,ALSO SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEAM.Aaron a bit faster then Umesh though, with a lethal short ball, it is a learning curve for these two , let us see how they progress

Good point. This maybe the solution to them not losing pace, especially if Umesh keeps taking wickets at pace and is choosen in the playing 11.

Pacers with deccent pace and some movement, spinners with spin including top spin ... preferably the wrong-uns as well and batsmen who can play both on the front foot as well as the back foot ( for test batsmen ) so that they can handle the swinging as well as bouncing ball. The Indian selectors often choose the wrong type of players.

Wow, if he can swing the ball BOTH ways then he is surely our best prospect.

[nanda14792]

no doubt he has bowled brilliantly but ithink varun aaron should be given a chance.....it is very imp for india to find new ball partner for zaheer before aus series

What happens if MUnaf Musa Patel returns for WI series? Will Yadav be benched for Munaf or Vinay will be benched? Though we have seen that Munaf is a stock bowler who contains while Yadav showed that he can break partnership in middle overs which we have been lacking in the absence of Zak.

He has the opportunity to cement his place in the starting 11 by outperforming Kooomar.

But is it necessary to pick Munaf in the eleven when he does not bring anything to the table. It will again make our attack one dimensional.

Cannot answer that without being biased because I'm a Munaf fanboy. :isalute:

I was when he debuted but not now. I tell what problem I have with Munaf. It is not speed which is a problem. It is his seam position. For a line and length bowler, he has scrambled seam, not upright which is a weakness as he does not get much swing or seam due to this reason. He also gets less bounce as ball does not hit the seam. His seam was never that good, but he was quicker when he debuted so pace and accuracy compensated for lack of good seam, but as pace gone and he tried to become Indian McGrath, he forgot to improve his seam position which was McGrath's biggest asset.

Very good analysis. Bowlers who try to emulate McGrath and people who analyze McGrath, stating that he was not express, forget that he had a superb seam position and got seam movement and steep bounce almost always.

Competition hotting up in the medium-pace/pace department in the Indian team..This will keep all of them on the toes and work hard..Good for the Indian bowling future..

Looks like time is ripe for me to unleash Rehan to the Indian cricketing fraternity ;p !

Apart from fast-medium pace, steep bounce from 6'5" height, superb seam position and seam movement and pinpoint accuracy frrom close to the stumps -- Mcgrath was a very intelligent bowler who planned and executed his dismissals to perfection. Supposedly he had a superb memory and could remember the way he had dismissed every batman he had ever bowled to. Intelligent bowlers like McGrath and Kumble are a rare and special breed.
