Umesh yadav-pretty impressive.

[Old guy]

and de lange he is south african wht else did u expect? :--D south africa is new west indies if u only consider pace department lmfao

[Old guy]

de lange was bowling 135 k to 138k at the end of the day but was getting steep bounce. I don't know about his earlier spells but he did not look quick' date=' more a bouncy fast-medium.[/quote'] first match...and u dont need to bowl at 150 he was quick enough in 140's i think his fastest was 147 but important thing he was bowling in right areas and got some bounce i know people owuld bash me but this guy looked better bowler then cummings more complete

+1 , He bowled 144k as the first ball, touched 148 he is fast, better then Cummings to me.:two_thumbs_up:

Good perfo by yadav .... Hopefully Ishant, who bowled quickish, will star picking up wkts too

[Karan114]

Fast and incisive bowling once again. 16 wickets at 21 in his third Test, cracking start.

[The Dark Horse]

really good find for us:two_thumbs_up:

[peterparker]

first indian fast bowler whose avergae is greater than 4 wickets per match..as zaheer khan also has an average rate of 3.5 wickets per match

[Sooda]

The next question is how to take care of him so he dosent become a trundler by next season, thats what normally happens....

Awesome bowling by youngsta. Whats good to c is he pitched the ball up today and made the batsmen play on the front foot.

[peterparker]

yadav is a quick learner too..pitches the ball...not going the srinath's way to get bounce out...now tomorrow clean the tail and then bat well..thats the only thing which could be done..though bowlers have really kept india in the game..

[Prakat]

Good pace' date=' Very good to c.:two_thumbs_up:[/quote'] :hatsoff: BP's only worthwhile thread.

[Cricket Tragic]

Impressive stuff!

[panther]

where can i watch the highlights

[Hell Raiser]

Very good find for India. Although he needs to learn a lot. He is a attacking bowler but he gives too many boundary balls which he will learn with time, but most importantly he is a genuine wicket taker which India needed the most.

[carnish]

16 wickets in 3 matches... may add two more... plus the fact that he played 2 tests in India... good to see him bowl... hope he ends up with atleast 20 wickets in the series

[MCcricket]

What works for Umesh is he is not above 5 11" , but has a very high and whippy action with a lot of wrist, so his 145 k ball seems faster to batsmen as he is very skiddy, he gets seam, swing as he bowls fuller,his bouncer is hard to react to coming from that height also the deliveries where he puts more wrists the balls seem to surprise batsmen out of nowhere.With everything I have seen of his bowling he is India's FAST bowler period,up there with the fastest, more natural ,wicket taker then all the rookies, pace to hurt the pontings and Clarks around the world, also has fitness and stamina.Ishant is more Fast mediumish at most times and then certain tours he bowls fast, but that can change now he is fit and is running in with rhythm and good action.I am totally impressed with who ever worked with this lad, on his action , fitness, this guy is a natural, hoping he stays fit, he will get wickets in all formats, that is why pace is the first criteria to pick up test bowlers, u could unearth jewels like him , couple more rookies with pace could be tried and then we have a good bench strength.

[panther]

do you think he will be in the odi team

[deathmonger]
