Pain no more a barrier for forgotten VRV Singh

[MCcricket]

i wish him good Luck though i have no Hope that he will come up...fast bowling requires highest level of fitness stamina and strength..at best he can come back and become a trundler , i don't see him coming back as a 140K + bowler. a fast bowler's career is not more than 3 to 4 years of genuine pace, after that he has to become a trundler..what i wanna say is that after 4 years Umesh and Aaron will become trundlers or will become Slow definitely if they do well they will gain in lot of skills like ZAK and may stay else will be thrown out like irfan and other so many pace bowlers. Bowlers Like PK and VK can have long Careers if they develop there Skills a lot and in case they are very good and play in some format of the game as in tests , i believe trundlers are hardly picked on bowling thats why i am delighted with the selectors have picked only FAST BOWLERS- ishant varun n umesh are all genuine fast bowlers and i feel these slow skilled trundlers should know that there days are numbered unless they can bowl around 138 k to 140K. i am one of the VK haters ( as u all know) and i saw that one day while he was bowling to KP..he did bowl around 3 balls at 137K in a 4 over spell .....it made me a bit Happy but very soon he started bowling under 130K, which means he has the tendency to slow down and not put that kind of hard work that he is capable of...if he can regularly swing n use his skills and bowl between 135k to 138K..he has a future but if he is a skilled bowler but a under 130K bowler..he may still have a future but as a t20 bowler or a one day bowler , for some 1 days..he definitely cannot force test batsman to get out easily...

U are not exactly correct, also bowling could be based on power strength of shoulders, back, legs , rhythm, depends what kinda bowler u r, Craig White , Akhtar, Zaheer, Bond bowled same speeds also became more lethal as they got older.U are making a generalization , which is correct for certainplayes like Nehra, Sreenath, James Franklin,Abdul Razzak,due to advancement in science, knowledge of body, supplements, age is not that big a factor,it is fitness and intent.As it is evident is Cycling, other sports, specially bowlers mature at 27 to 28 years, loosing pace is more a mental , self preservation choice, more often then not.

Yes Supplements energy drinks do help but still all pacers slow down ..I would say 99 percent pacers slow down and bcom damn slow .. World"s fastest bowler akhtar slowed down with age ..akram imran Kapil marshall steyn Zak Practically all fast and super fast bowlers have slowed down as fast bowling is not something Natural to human beeings....I have tried to bowl fast... If one pushes himself hard he can get stretched - either legs or shoulders or any...everybody knows this fact that fast bowlers slow down,I wanna highlight the fact that selectors possibly know this fact and hence they need to refresh and replace after a 4 year cricket Career... Do u know Zak"s career is as good as finished...his performance in IPL has been just a shadow of himself, I have seen Zak bowling against hayden and pointing and Note this guys, I was mighty impressed with him...this guy has a power bouncer which may be just a 140K bouncer but I have seen hayden and pointing jst managing to duck inside it or just put it down, Zak always had a very strong Impact on batsmen and they feared him. Today Zak is a 132K to 138K high skill fast medium bowler still he is far better than the next fast bowler we have ( possibly Ishant or sreesanth or Umesh)...but yes selectors and all of us shud realise that Fast bowlers are to be refreshed after 4 years and batsmen after 8 to 10 years as after 8 to 10 years they start to play slow and selfishly go for records and bcom useless fielders... With due respect to VVS dravid sachin , even sehwag , wasim Jaffer etc but pls note that if we compare them with Raina, kohli or even Jadeja...let's say these 3 guys get 10 on 10 on fielding than what score wud u give to old players ..I feel I may give 4 to sehwag, 2 to sachin, 1 to Vvs and 3 to dravid....their fielding is pathetic...ganguly was thrown out not bcos of his batting but bcos of his fielding...all these guys shud now retire slowly one after the other bcos they will or may make lapses in fielding and young guys like dhoni and Raina will scold them in closed room meetings.
