Umesh yadav-pretty impressive.

[jusarrived]

yadav going at 6 runs an over in a test match' date=' hmmm...[/quote'] 3 wickets of 114 balls is all what matters ..how can you talk about economy of Test bowlers ?

[kabira]

bowled really well, but bowled too short at times.

[ViruRulez]

Yadav is doing great but he needs to work a bit on his accuracy too. Many of his balls were great but he was mixing them with too many bad balls. If he gains Steyn's accuracy if not his swing in the long term then he will turn into a great bowler.

Umesh should try to bowl quick aimed at one spot on the pitch without trying so many variations. Just a few bouncers from time to time is needed apart from the stock delivery.

i think wht he did today was needed cos again ishant went wicketless zack only got after 50-60 overs so would u really complain? did ya saw wht happened in england we never leaked nay runs and we never got any wickets this guy was bowling some beauties just wait and watch he woul be much improved in 2nd innings (thats wht he does improves considerably) and i dont mind runs he gives would take his figures over ishant's figures any day!

[flamy]

Who can forget the Ishant sting against punter man! that was epic This was a slight more impressive to me, maybe because it's fresh. Yadav really got under his skin this time.

what happened?

[Old guy]

what happened?

today ushant and yadav just bowled some beauties to ponting he mean since yadav is doing this for first time so its more interesting

[Show_stopper]

what happened?

Hit him on the helmet. Beat him for pace a couple of times including a yorker that Ponting barely kept out while losing his footing. Finally dismissed him with a beautiful outswinger.

[CG]

ishant? idk lol and back then yadav wasnt ready imo he improved a lot his pace too today he bowled near 148 some balls i just know after rain stops he is gonna bowl much better spell full quick out swingers when he does that u will se why people are comparing him to steyn

Umesh was ready back then better than unadkat anyway

Umesh can bowl more accurately at high pace than he did today and take wickets , as he had often shown during his brief career. Why does it have to be either / or for wicket taking bowling and reasonable accuracy ? If he was more accurate during his later spells when Siddle was batting he could have got a fifer.

first big match i think he was nervous he will only get better he is new to test cricket i dont expect him to do all things right and whtever he did was good enough for us today and u never know he might wake up tomorrow and bowl much better cos now he has confidence behind him

He comes across as a quick learner, unlike Ishant who never seems to learn where and how to bowl. I also think that Umesh would improve as the tour progresses as he would learn which line and length to bowl on Aussie pitches. Big pluses for Umesh today -- Quickest of 150.1 k, atleast 2 deliveries at 150 k or more, average speed around 143.5 k and lots of deliveries at 145 k or more. -- He bowled a lot of outswingers, a few inswingers and incutters as well. -- Looked threatening whenever he was accurate and comes across as a true strike bowler in tests. Bowled quick bouncers also .

[panther]

best bowler today

[akshayxyz]

hmm.. I saw first session, he looked good.. but whats with the runs? what happened? in almost as many overs, he gave more than combined total of Ishant+Zaheer.

i think every one was impressed by him and those outswingers i just know sooner or later in this series they are gonna become handful for aussies ishant bowled some good balls but really he does not do naything other then bowling at his length day in and day out he needs to pitch it much fuller to surprise batsmen ball bouncers then bowl this length to me right now batsmen know wht he is ognna bowl they are in better position to play good ball and they jsut miss the gr8 ones lol

gp.he is only going to get as the tour goes along.

[saneindian]

He is going to cause havoc in some of his spells in Australia. Lad is a quick learner and has got real speed. Was hitting 145 for fun. Overdid the short pitch stuff, especially post lunch, but that was down to inexperience.

Where did you guys get to know the speeds of the bowlers - cricinfo? I was watching the game on TV and did not see Star Cricket showing the speeds of the bowlers
