deathmonger Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Didn't see the match but figures looked good.
yoda Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 They both were excellent. Irfan bowled several in swingers and even had a plumb lbw hitting on the toe not given. Umesh was good too except that his deliveries bounced a lot and didn't really threaten of getting wickets.

Umesh was good too except that his deliveries bounced a lot and didn't really threaten of getting wickets. I heard his ace was up too. Good to see Irfan bowling well. With his batting can become an excellent player for us.
MCcricket Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I heard his ace was up too. Good to see Irfan bowling well. With his batting can become an excellent player for us. Irfan was bowling around 138 k , looked in very good rhythm, bowled very well, moving the ball in and then a few keeping straight, in this form he is better then any of our bowlers outside Zak, Umesh.

NareshK Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I have the impression Irfan will be ineffective on flat wickets and in slog overs. He cant bowl the yorker accurately. Umesh is a good bowler.
rkt.india Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 This was the most impressive bowling by Irfan since his come back though pitch was conducive too.

I am pretty sure u haven't seen the game right, Harbhajan was struck in the boot by a swinging yorker and plum lbw not given and Harbhajan almost lost his balance
GautiMaan Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Both were impressive,if umesh could bowl yorkers at his pace we would have a deadly bowler. But Bhajji was better than both of them
NareshK Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I am pretty sure u haven't seen the game right' date=' Harbhajan was struck in the boot by a swinging yorker and plum lbw not given and Harbhajan almost lost his balance[/quote'] My impression was from the game recently against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup when he was bowling wide balls and full tosses in the slog overs and PK and him looked completely helpless and gifted the game away. I think India needs better bowlers than him in the slog overs but we shall see in this IPL, if has become consistent in bowling decently at the death.
Dravid_TheWall Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Both were impressive,if umesh could bowl yorkers at his pace we would have a deadly bowler. But Bhajji was better than both of them Oh yeah but why didn't Bhajji bowl this game? Did he get another "stomach tear?" Guy is not worthy of wearing a pag, coward. He should do this, pag off :hatsoff:
GautiMaan Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 ^ Agree with u on this one,fecker claimed he didnt bowl bcoz the total was a low one,so persisted with pacers.Why did Ojha bowl then?

Very messed up. Reality is he knew his team was going to lose so didn't want to be a part of that, he knew Viru and co would smash him out the attack as they had no pressure in scoring. He is desperate for India recall but actions like this go against him. Maybe he is playing as a specialist batsman, was happy with his runs in the game and didn't want to ruin it :cantstop:
