chainsmoker1985 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 But overall their track record regarding fast bowlers has been good. The list of fast bowlers over the last 5 years or so (after McGrath) has been pretty decent - Harris' date=' Pattinson, Cummins, Bracken, Siddle, Johnson, Bollinger, Nannes, Starc etc. and most of their bowlers manage to bowl 140 kph+ consistently.[/quote'] Yes, that is correct and that is exactly what we want to achieve. Thats y we always gets excited about upcoming fast bowlers
Cricket Tragic Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 M Vijay hammered shaun taits bouncer out of the park for 6. When?
nballa Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 When? Jan 29th 2012, just the right amount of pizza grease on his playstation joystick and the perfect flick of a button and the ball just flew right out the park
rkt.india Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I have watched enough so called "pace demons" being biggied up on this forum. One or two balls in a highlight reel doesn't tell you much. Based on one or two deliveries Sreesanth would be the greatest bowler since Spofforth, or Monty the best batsman since Bradman. Bowling is all about consistency and one or two balls is nowhere enough to hype up a player. I have seen this before and a few examples should suffice... 1. VRV Singh was supposed to be a out and out fast bowler but on intl scene he struggled to hit 130 kph :hysterical: 2. A guy called Atul Sharma in the KKR squad was hyped up to be the fastest bowler in the world with threads dedicated to him and that too when he hadn't even played a match :omg: I wonder where he's now :hmmm: 3. Other pace prospects like Unadkat, Tyagi etc. who looked out of sorts on intl scene and couldn't even clock 130 kph :haha: The list is pretty long and I'm sure I have missed out on such great "tailunted phaast" bowlers but the truth is we hype people for no rhyme or reason. In fact even Varun Aaron falls in the same category. What I saw against WI wasn't an intl pace bowler and would struggle against Zim and B'desh. On the other hand we have a team like Aus who bring in youngsters like Pattinson and Cummins about whom we hadn't even heard much and they made intl class batsmen look like novices. Maybe all this would seem "rubbish" to you coz I am not going to jump on the bandwagon of a guy who hasn't done jack shyte even at domestic level :giggle: If you had actually seen VRV abd Tyagi bowled, you would not have said they struggled to clock 130. VRV was bowling in 140s in SA tests in 2006, same with Tyagi watch the abandoned ODI match against SL, he was clocking 140s, his debut match. You are talking about Cummins and Pattinson were not hyped. Bro, they were hyped more than any bowler on earth. Every one knew about them even when they have not made their FC debuts and no body knew a thing about Yadav and Aaron outside us a few cricket fans in India, but every one was waiting for test debuts of Cummins and Pattinson.
rkt.india Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Getting 3 after being carted for 100+ is not saying much. As for bowling on pattas he should be used to it by now. If you see any Aus bowler - Siddle' date=' Pattinson etc. to bowl on pattas they would look much more threatening than what Aaron did. Umesh looked much better than Aaron and Aaron has a lot to do to compete at intl level.[/quote'] Do you remember how Siddle was thrashed by Indian batsmen on 2008 tour, talk abut bowling on pattas. Siddle is a FC veteran and you are comparing him to rookies. No one is saying Yadav, Aron, Shukla, etc will surpass Styen, Marshall, etc. We just hope these guy in combination can build a half decent bowling attack and if you dont like this hope and talk, you must stop watching and talking cricket and play gilli-danda at your backyard because cricket is incomplete without these talks and hopes.
rkt.india Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 When? When M Vijay scored a 100 against Rajasthan Royals, Tait was bowling 145K plus and was hammered by Vijay all over the park.
youngindia Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 That's my point! We don't have anyone decent and still we are hyping the average trundlers as if they are the next coming of Garner and Holding' date=' [b']whereas Aussies didn't even talk up likes of Pattinson and Cummins who by the way are just 21 and 18 years old respectively!!! you must be one of the biggest BS guys around here.just because you are ignorant about something does not mean it doesn't happen. ok? If anything, promising juniors in australia are known and hyped quite a bit ! http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/josh-hazlewood-touted-as-the-new-glenn-mcgrath/story-e6frexni-1111116339936 http://www.theroar.com.au/2011/06/07/cricket-australia-contracted-players-announced-katich-dropped/ patrick Cummins is an exceptional talent who has impressed with his opportunities to date for New South Wales and it will be very exciting to watch his progress.- Andrew hiditch(this is not talking up?) Identified early as a rare pace-bowling talent, Pattinson captained Victoria in the national Under-18 competition and also represented Australia in the Under-19 World Cup of 2008-09.-Bushrangers website http://www.smh.com.au/news/sport/our-next-big-thing-14-and-champing-at-the-bit/2007/01/12/1168105179802.html Article about Rising Tennis player Bernard tomic at 14 yrs old! And steve waugh does not think hype in aaron or yadav is misplaced either. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/tourists-attractions-lie-with-emerging-crop-of-bowlers-20111209-1onjl.html ''I was in India a couple of weeks ago I like the look of their new bowlers,'' Waugh told the Herald. ''Yadav and Aaron, their two quicks, are very good. They've got good pace and a good attitude. They're pretty raw but they're pretty exciting for India."

Cricket Tragic Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Jan 29th 2012' date=' just the right amount of pizza grease on his playstation joystick and the perfect flick of a button and the ball just flew right out the park[/quote'] :cantstop:
VRV Singh Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I bet after all this hype he is no better than Rajeev Shukla
NeutralCat Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 We Indians are good at overrating our players, we seem to think they are all superstars even after getting bent over overseas.
Old guy Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 no one here is overhyped :hysterical: this was just informative thread..or u can say performance watch! and he clearly outbowled pathan..not making up anything,adid any one here said he is the best bowler, or will take the world by storm ? there is no hyping here.. only hyping i remeber is with ishant :winky:
rkt.india Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 :cantstop: Quoting the circus league. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Seriously? bhai Circus league me Tait ko laddu bowling kar raha tha. Usi circus league me Tait ne Kallis ka Taintua daba diya tha.
Cricket Tragic Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 bhai Circus league me Tait ko laddu bowling kar raha tha. Usi circus league me Tait ne Kallis ka Taintua daba diya tha. I'm sure you know what Steyn thinks of the circus. :cantstop:
rkt.india Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I'm sure you know what Steyn thinks of the circus. :cantstop: Yes I know but you forgot that was only in first season when he thought like a picnic but then he realized that IPL is a tough competition and you wont survive if you dont give you best and look at his bowling in later IPLs. He had accepted these things in an interview. You are a half-knowledge man which does not help.
NeutralCat Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Why isn't he in Australia? Or is too raw still?
rkt.india Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I think Manish Shukla is way better. who is Manish Shukla?
