express bowling Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 My first impression of SAHA was he a good keeper but very slight in terms of physique ' date= did not think he could bat.I am completely surprised at how fit he is, a fantastic keeper, very good team man, a very good batsmen with fantastic technique, surprise surprise can also hit shots all over and also clear the boundary and very good timer of the ball and confident.NO DOUBT I WANT HIM AS OUR TEST KEEPER, WITH GAMBHIR AS THE CAPT. :two_thumbs_up: Link to comment
Trundler27 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Gambhir as captain? are you kidding me.... that guy doesn't even command a place in the test XI based on his crappy performance over the past year. He is as useless as some of our other ageing warriors as far as test matches are concerned. To add to that, he is totally one dimensional (no bowling ability, no special fielding ability). He can probably go places in our odi unit because of his flexibility in batting at different positions in the top order. But he has shown pathetic form in tests over the past year. In fact, he would be thrown out if we had better options at opener. Only option right now is mukund. Link to comment

Really bowling well. Shami Ahmed got Naman Ojha. Good attacking bowling from seamers. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 That was a beauty from Sahmi, pace, bounce, and away swing, Ojha gone, second ball of his bowling today. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Shami is not that fast but he has the movement Link to comment
rkt.india Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Shami is not that fast but he has the movement I feel he is not pushing himself but the kind of swing he gets, he does not need to be express.. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 speed guns are only showing 133 and he is looking at least 140. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Shami just clocked 134.5K fastest ball I have seen being clocked in this match on these speed guns. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 another catch dropped on Shami in this match, 4 catch dropped of his bowling. This is the reason fast bowlers in weaker teams get so less wickets because of their pace bowl flies quickly to slips and catches are dropped and their fielding standards are poor likes of Assam, Jharkhand, Vidarbha, Bengal.

I wonder how many have been dropped off Dinda in this season. East Zone, by the way, is bowling pawaarhouse now. Only if we had a good spinner. Link to comment

Only if we had a good spinner. 5 catches are already dropped of Shami's bowling in this match. Shami has been most impressive bowler till now for me, already 5 wickets and 5 sitters dropped in slips, 10 wickets in all. He can be a test strike bowler for India the way he is bowling decent pace, swing away, and good accuracy as well, especially in places like SA, England, NZ, and Aus. Link to comment

rkt.india Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 bouncer and that's the end of Kaif, finally a catch taken of Shami. Link to comment
Magneto Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Dinda's fielding has improved. Poor shot by Kaif. Ajay Mehra's commentary makes me :mad: Link to comment
rkt.india Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Another peach by Shami. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Outside edge did not carry this time, another beauty. Link to comment
