Umesh Yadav - As brainless as ever

[Crookbond]

All of a sudden' date= PK doesnt look too bad, does he?

I have always counted punjabi_khota as a very good poster but the others always seem to have some kind of bias against him. :beee:

All of a sudden' date=' PK doesnt look too bad, does he?[/quote'] One poor inning only.

All of a sudden' date=' PK doesnt look too bad, does he?[/quote'] Well, he was the best bowler in England! I just hope he is injured rather than dropped due to incompetence.

Well' date=' he was the best bowler in England! I just hope he is injured rather than dropped due to incompetence.[/quote'] He is not picked in test matches in India and then he was injured for Aussie tour.

Yadav has much more potnetial than most Indian pacers bowlers barring Ishant. Good to see him remove openers today. He's still new at this level and adapting :nice: He's not good in LO games though. Poor List A and ODI record. Should still be in squad for a while in that aswell to see if he starts delivering. Usually leaks too many runs though.

I think he should absolutely play Tests in India. That is where his tremendous domestic record has come.

Yadav is clearly for Tests and not ODIs, imo. He should be picked only for Tests, like South Africa do with Philander.

2 early wickets in 2nd inning. :hatsoff:

Lot of Indian domestic swing bowlers have great records in Indian domestic cricket. But his real lack of pace goes against him.

[Lord]

good spell thus far:nice:

His line has been good today, was bowling too much leg side in first inning.

He did fine in England against very high quality batsmen.

But conditions are different there and since his come back from injury he has not looked fit enough to bowl even 10 overs in an ODI stamina wise and also lost more pace. Did not do well even in FC cricket after that. He will be there for overseas tours I am sure.

he is touching late 130s and early 140s. is that lack of pace.

He was talking about PK not Umesh.

[Pagalpanti]

Still trying too many things in one over. Every over he bowls a slower one, yorker and short one. Needs to be consistent to create chances. Will learn with time though.

He needs to learn how to keep the runs down, like Southee did by bowling outside off stump, especially on these tracks, he is not going to bowl magical deliveries, need to stay patient more.

[Crookbond]

Just check his pitch map, his length has been much better than 1st innings.

[rkt.india]

Just check his pitch map' date=' his length has been much better than 1st innings.[/quote'] Length can vary but it is the line which is more important.

[Ultimate_Game]

He still goes for too much and concedes at the rate of odis in Tests. His 3/100 in 20 overs won't be of much use unless he starts turning them into 3/55 off 20 overs.
