He somehow gives off the perception that he's not a thinking bowler, but he's very smart.  Invariably figures out a way to set up the batsman.  Before he bowled Lyon off the one that turned and took out off stump, he almost had him by spearing in a yorker.  Most importantly, he has the control and accuracy to execute the variations that he wants to.  And puts in the shoulder and effort to give minimal time to the batsman to react off the pitch.   A bowler who knows his game and knows how to get the most out of it even if he may not give the most erudite interviews about it (Not to take a shot a Ash - enjoy his comments and his willingness to share his personal thought process).  

 

One has to look at the sequence of deliveries that Jadeja bowls, to know that he is a thinking bowler. He always tries to set up batsmen.

 

If he did not have this trait then he could not have picked so many test wickets, as he was not the most talented of spinners in the country. 

 

If he can retain his newly developed side-spin as well as his original fast slider, and combine them like he is doing now, he can be a threat anywhere in the world.

And even when he doesn't pick up wickets - he's a force multiplier for the bowling unit - bowls a ton of overs quickly and with a miserly economy rate - keeping the captain free from worrying about the over rate, and the rest of the bowlers fresher and that much more effective.    Really underrated aspect of his bowling.

Sir Ravindra Jadeja finally starting to give massive returns for investments. He was a smart bowler from the start.He is now becoming skilled and equipped. Batting is good for flat pitches.

[coffee_rules]

Outbowling and outbatting Ashwin this series.

[speedheat]

All hail king jaddu I will Never ever drop him now from the squad even if we are playing on mars

[gakgupta]

[King Tendulkar]

but if delivers tommorow when team desperate for it ....

He's a hack. Made a career out of doctored pitches and feeble opposition. Haven't followed cricket much lately, but has he done something out of India that Yadav can't do?

Has a 6 for in SA.Any idea how many Yadav has there or for that matter Ashwin?

[BCCI]

Jaddu is certainly a hack with bat but with the ball most improved in the last 2 years

Useless because no one else stepped up. He took 5 out of top 6 wickets.

Useless because he was useless. I remember watching that match. Journeyman bowling.

He has been outbowling Ashwin on flatter pitches.

I maybe out of tune with cricket lately, but am willing to wager a bet between you and me that Jadeja will end up inferior to Ashwin and Yadav. Kohli won't even play him overseas after Yadav.

It's not that difficult to see why Jadeja is a hack. Run up, go through motions, Indian pitch some turn and bounce. Outside India, there is no skill forget about plan. Bowl, get slapped, come back for more.

You should really read this because it's pretty clear u haven't watched Jadeja bowl much in recent times.

He has pretty much been our best bowler on flat surfaces throughout the home season.

 

P.S

Posted the wrong link earlier.

I will. But from what I saw in this series (admittedly followed sporadically, nothing convinced me about him). Doesn't even have a ducking loop like Bedi to start off with!

If you haven't followed cricket then why come up with crap like that? If anything Ashwin is the one taking bucketloads on dustbowls and disappearing on flat tracks.
