cowboysfan Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Ishant knows how to get wickets in India(when he is in form and not bowling with a gimpy ankle).Umesh has no clue on bowling in the sub continent,all he does is bowl fast and hope that works.
rkt.india Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 What I saw of Ishant in Challenger and Irani, he is nowhere near where he should be. he is bowling like what he was IPL4 with messed up bowling action. He needs to work on his action a bit more to get his pace back.
saneindian Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Ishant knows how to get wickets in India(when he is in form and not bowling with a gimpy ankle).Umesh has no clue on bowling in the sub continent' date='all he does is bowl fast and hope that works.[/quote'] 4 tests, 14 wickets @29 in India isn't bad for someone who is not even 12 months old in test cricket. He bowled brilliantly against WI, was poor vs NZ, doesn't make him as bad as " having no clue on bowling in SC". Hopefully with some FC matches after CLT20 before the series vs England, he will go back to bowling the way he bowled vs WI.

He needs to work on his action a bit more to get his pace back.[/quote'] Don't know about Challenger but he wasn't bad in Irani, as far as my understanding of fast bowling goes. Umesh may have got five wickets in first innings of RoI, but to me Ishant was the best bowler for that innings. I don't take Challengers seriously as they are played on some of the most patta wickets of the worlds. He was good in the only appearance that he had in Duleep trophy. I am confident that he'll come good soon with the kind of commitment he shows.
King Tendulkar Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Do not write Ishant of yet. I am fuly backing him. He is only 24, he will come good

Old guy Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 He was not bad' date=' but he was not great too. He seemed to be struggling with his action, lacked the flow and rhythm.[/quote'] isnt tht expected after injury?
Number Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Looking forward to see how UY bowls on SA tracks in CLT20. Hope pitches have some juice and he doesn't bowl his leg stump tripe.
Crookbond Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Pitches will definitely have something at this time of the year. It was raining and Umesh Yadav & co. were unable to practice.
PaceAttack Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Wow. Here is a guy who has the potential to be a great bowler for India, and ICFers making fun of the injured poor lad. No wonder Indians don't bowl quick.
rkt.india Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 His pace was down a bit ' date=' but his action wasn't that ragged, [b']only thing he can do a bit more his delay his action a bit more so he can uncoil his back and shoulder to generate more pace with more accuracy, I will choose him before any other pacer as Zak is crap, Umesh is down, Irfan, Ishant,Ashwin will be the bowlers in my test side for up coming tours.

CG Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 how was his seam position in the irani matches.
CG Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Walsh was remotely a swing bowler. He was a seam bowler. Balls would deck off the seam. In a way Ishant's lengths are similar to walsh's length except Walsh's deliveries had little more oomph in it. actually ishant has pace similar to ambrose and his spells in australia in 2008 is where mention of ambrose came.
rkt.india Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 how was his seam position in the irani matches. Seam position did look good.
Number Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 @ImIshant Good Morning guys☺ Hitting the gym now, fast bowling is hard work! Guys, if u want to be a fast bowler u hav to work hard & be regular at the gym to strengthen ur body. Never take fitness for granted.
rkt.india Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 actually ishant has pace similar to ambrose and his spells in australia in 2008 is where mention of ambrose came. Amborse had 3 inches on Ishant in height as is Steve Finn
MCcricket Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Amborse had 3 inches on Ishant in height as is Steve Finn Ishant is much more taller when he started for India at 19 he is around 6'5" at least and Ambrose Finn only a inch or two taller
rkt.india Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Ishant is much more taller when he started for India at 19 he is around 6'5" at least and Ambrose Finn only a inch or two taller Finn, Broad, Morkel, Tremlett, Starc all are taller than Ishant.
Raghav_12 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Finn' date=' Broad, Morkel, Tremlett, Starc all are taller than Ishant.[/quote'] McCricket doesn't deny that. Question is whether extra height is 1, 2 or 3 inches :cantstop:
