Iconoclast Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Whats up with the English pacers ? At home they all around about 90 MPH. But here I haven't seen a single one of them break the 140k barrier. Broad and Jimmy have been mid 130's and Tremlett has been high 120's to low 130's. Gul has also dropped his pace to the 130's mostly. By contrast old man Cheema bowled the fastest hitting mid 140's. I wonder how fast he might have been in his prime ?
VRV Singh Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Can't take the HEAT brah Is Keema really 140+? That's quite interesting..he has an odd action.
Magneto Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Pakis, please get some phaaast bowlers from your trees. A Paki team full of trundlers is no fun.
Pagalpanti Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Gul doesn't look fit, was trundling his way throughout the first day. Wahab and Junaid are much better than Gul. He should stick to T20's.
chainsmoker1985 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 @OP, you are wrong, I also watched the match. Cheema was bowling around high 130s. His one odd delivery is around 142-143 max, not more. That's too when he is pushing himself beyond his limit. I know that even high 130s is good speed, but what Pakistan bowlers we all know, they were no-where near that. They are known for high quality fast bowling with pace. They cut the first ball in, then they cut next ball out, then next a bouncer aimed at your throat and then next will be aimed at your toes, either save your toe or either get bowled. Even Abdur Razzaq and Azhar Mahmood used to display those high quality skills against top batsmen of the world.

Gul has to be dropped for one of these two. I'd also replace Keema with Junaid.
