rkt.india Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 No way.. until he gains 5-10kmph in pace & some height. Anderson bowls similar speeds as him and is also only 3-4 inches taller than him.
Magneto Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 :(( Why :((? You can anyday take revenge by laughing at all his 'India will wallop England' type of threads. :--D
diga Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Anderson bowls similar speeds as him and is also only 3-4 inches taller than him. Anderson's avg speed is atleast 5kmph more & surely gets more bounce than B.Kumar ... Height makes a lot of difference. That changes the release point of the delivery itself. An example is Agarkar. If was a bit more taller, he could have been our Steyn/McGrath.
King Tendulkar Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Why :((? You can anyday take revenge by laughing at all his 'India will wallop England' type of threads. :--D ahh very sweet sticking up for your mate:giggle: I am sure he can look after himself:--D

Mate how old are you, as you guys seem to have set up some secret club like kids in the playground. O please let me join, please...
NareshK Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 His pace is fine. Bowling 135-140 and moving the ball both ways and having control is good enough. Even Steyn bowls around the same pace when there is some help in the pitch and doesnt bowl too fast. But he looks a bit underweight. He has to get a little more stronger in order to bowl longer spells in tests. Otherwise, he will be out of steam in no time and his control will suffer and pace will go down. He looked fit enough to bowl 7 overs on the trot in hot and humid Chennai conditions. That's a good sign.

Suirely can get much stronger and quicker with good advice and hard work Although he really does remind me of sir aggy with his build etc. Just does not have those shining eyes of aggy

diga Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Dale steyn is 5ft 10 . Dale Steyn is atleast 2-3 inches taller & certainly stronger than B.Kumar & can crank upto 150kmph if reqd
Lord Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Dale Steyn is atleast 2-3 inches taller & certainly stronger than B.Kumar & can crank upto 150kmph if reqd he couldnt wen he made his debut.duuno why u would compare a 22 yr old with an ATG
daryl1985 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 He is a good prospect but we can't expect too much from him. He bowled a lot better than his figures suggest yesterday. He troubled Hafeez in his 1st few overs and when he came back late on he bowled pretty well.
diga Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 he couldnt wen he made his debut.duuno why u would compare a 22 yr old with an ATG who is comparing Kumar with Steyn? Just read through the posts to see who brought it up... All I said is certain bowlers have raw pace like Steyn/Mailinga who can overcome the conditions through pace. B.Kumar can never be our Anderson if he doesnt up his pace.

B.Kumar can never be our Anderson if he doesnt up his pace. yeah he needs to up his pace but hes young only,Anderson was same pace wen young.no need to write off Kumar.Steyn did not have pace from the start
King Tendulkar Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 We are talking about B Kumar in same sentences as Anderson and Steyn. ICF has really lost it
