vishalvirsingh Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Ishant Umesh Varun Shammi Bhuvi Yes, it does look strong at this point of time. But we need to get rid of the likes of Vinay, Mithun and Praveen kumar. Will the selectors realaise this? I hope so. ISHANT is wicketless defensive now he is even paceless..no more 140k+ which was his only strength, SWING LESS as he hardly swings and finally UNLUCKy ( as he does not get wickets). BHUVI is a good swing bowler but when the ball is old he is as good as PK or may be a shade better can be in INDIA 11 if he becomes a better batsman and competes with IRFAN KHAN and ravindra jadeja..............is not a threatening bowler with old ball so he shud only be played in swinging conditions else he shud not play for india 11. SHAMMI is AVERAGE...130 to 137 k defensive bowler....wont play for INDIA much in any formats. UMESH and VARUn are extraordinary and shud play for INDIA whenever they are FIT. DINDA shud be played ahead of ISHANT SHAMMI and even BHUVI ....most of the times.
vishalvirsingh Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 What you are talking about. By the time Zak started to do something in international cricket consistently' date=' he was 29 years of age and had passed his prime fast bowling years already. If Ishant plays for 12 years, he too will have as many wickets as Zak has. Zak have not done anythig extra ordinary and where the term bowling powerhouse which we never were. We have always been batting powerhouse and now even that is questionable.[/quote'] when ishant bowls seam is always scrambled hence he gets no swing at ALL which means he will always be a straight bowler and hence wicketless.......if he is below 140K or is bowling slower than 140k then he is ineffective and shud not play for INDIA........there have been times when he has consistently bowled 137+ to 150K..if he an maintain that he is worth it else DUMPED.

He has a good sema position with a good whip from the wrist for the inswinger which made him not only swing the ball in but get zip off the pitch.He has to watch some old videos and get it back as support staff are doing nothing but confusing him with diff suggestions.Eric simmons told him he was a fast bowler and got to bowl diff length and get bounce now the new coach has made him hold the ball too deep in his grip and trying to get outswing. a3eILRIh7-8&feature=player_embedded
