Trichromatic Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Ishant Sharma's number busting performances approximately in the last 12 months. [table=head;sort=4]Overs | Mdns | Runs | Wkts | Econ | Ave | SR | Opposition | Ground | Start Date 36.3 | 7 | 91 | 2 | 2.49 | 45.5 | 109.5 | v Australia | Melbourne | 26-Dec-11 33 | 2 | 144 | 1 | 4.36 | 144 | 198 | v Australia | Sydney | 03-Jan-12 18 | 0 | 89 | 1 | 4.94 | 89 | 108 | v Australia | Perth | 13-Jan-12 38 | 6 | 127 | 1 | 3.34 | 127 | 228 | v Australia | Adelaide | 24-Jan-12 29 | 8 | 78 | 1 | 2.68 | 78 | 174 | v England | Kolkata | 05-Dec-12 43 | 12 | 91 | 3 | 2.11 | 30.33 | 86 | v England | Nagpur | 13-Dec-12 20 | 4 | 61 | 0 | 3.05 | - | - | v Australia | Chennai | 22-Feb-13 14 | 3 | 44 | 0 | 3.14 | - | - | v Australia | Hyderabad (Deccan) | 02-Mar-13 [/table] Overall: Matches: 8 Inns: 12 Overs: 231.3 Runs: 725 Wkts: 9 Ave: 81 Econ: 3.13 SR: 154.3 These are the numbers that make selectors, Dhoni, Fletcher, sickeningly bias and pussy commentators (esp. Ravi Shastri) and BCCI back Ishant Sharma as our premier strike bowler :hatsoff: Every one of his performance in the last 12 months or so has been literally embarassing, you have got to feel sorry for the likes Pankaj Singh, Shami, Praveen Kumar, and even Vinay Kumar, Dinda, Unadakt, Kulkarni, and all the others picked for India A, Duleep, Irani etc. Suresh Raina Overs : 148.3 Wickets : 13 Avg : 39.30 SR : 68.5 Must be feeling unlucky.
The Realist Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Words cannot describe or explain how such a poor poor player is a regular in an international team. At least he can act though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imposter_(2012_film)
jairamesh Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Great combination of Bhajji and Ishant in tandem . :hysterical: Every out of form batsmens' wet dream. Gambhir and Sehwag must be cursing for never being able to face these two in intl cricket.

rkt.india Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 ^ The least can be done is to impose temporary bans on all those Phaasht Bowling fans here who were apologetic for Ishant Sharma.. The temporary bans should start with RKT... :giggle: If I was the selector he would not have played a match a single match against England, would not have been in the team.

Crookbond Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 These pitches are the reason why India loses test matches at home lately. Its not turn that helps India at home' date=' trust me most ranji games get played on flat tracks. What makes India unbeatable in India is slow and low conditions. The batsmen cherish them. All this fuss about bounce aides the spinners is rubbish and is a myth created only to support the kind of bowling harbhajan used to do. But with Bhajji out of form, we need low and slow pitches to beat the non-SC sides. We got one in Chennai and we will also get one more in Delhi. HYDERABAD and MOHALI are burial grounds for Indians.[/quote'] Agree with what you're trying to say except the last line.
Dumbbells Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I am a big supporter of ishant but he has disappointed me big time. First he needs to chop his long hair and he should stop ruffling it often. Next thing is he needs to figure out why he suddenly bowls 129k when he s capable of bowling 136k to 140s. He should be patient and he shud keep bowling at good length. Short pitch deliveries are easy to handle on indian tracks.
kubrickian Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 The amazing thing is he is picked ahead of Ojha who has been the best bowler for India. :hysterical:
Crookbond Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I still think it is the spinners who are bowling well rather than any menacing turn on this pitch. The Aussies look like babies in a strip club against spinners.
Clarke Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 If I was the selector he would not have played a match a single match against England' date=' would not have been in the team.[/quote'] But it would ruin his confidence :whine:
SLICKR392 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 I still think it is the spinners who are bowling well rather than any menacing turn on this pitch. The Aussies look like babies in a strip club against spinners. I just picturized that with this baby dancing.
Sidhoni Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Bhajji has bowled more no doubt but he has bowled well today. :nice:

At least he can act though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imposter_(2012_film) It really does beggar belief. Even by the pathetic standards of Indian fast bowling, this Sharma is an absolute disgrace. On the one hand we have our top ranked bowler getting forced out of the XI and yet we have this utter embarrassment Ishant Sharma get game after game. What a ****ed up team, captain and system.
