Crookbond Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Shami looks a safe fielder IMO. BK is obviously a quick mover Both Shami and BK look 'lousy' to me, typical Indian bowlers.
Tendulkar_Bhai Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Shami wo a doubt he looks like a test match bowler and doesnt bowl many loose deliveries. Bhuvi also has done well and is accurate his inswingers which have sent stumps flying remind me of Sreesanth in his early days, hopefully he doesnt go down same path.
CSK Fan Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 he can bowl lot fuller then bk and still keep batsmen back since he has pace this is classic case when both bowlers have similar skills one with more pace just makes him better shami also gets late swing which is gr8 skill to have in tests and he can bowl reverse swing so wont be useless with old ball these are reasons i think he will make better test bowler specially in indian conditions For me, more than loose or tight balls, the bowler who bowls more "wicket-taking" balls is better and thats BK. He has beaten genuine batsmen while defending to take wickets while most of Ahmed's wicket were when batsmen were trying to hit out on wide balls
CSK Fan Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Asif was a seam bowler. Bhuvi is a swing bowler. Bit of a difference there. And have seen both bowl in FC cricket. Bhuvi can also seam the ball. In fact if you Pietersen's wicket where he was bowled, ball deviated of the seam after pitching and not in the air. Have also seen more of his delivery seam on pitching
Old guy Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 For me' date=' more than lose or tight balls, the bowler who bowls more "wicket-taking" balls is better and thats BK. He has beaten genuine batsmen while defending to take wickets while most of Ahmed's wicket were when batsmen were trying to hit out on wide balls[/quote'] he got lbw today and also u have to count in skills while selecting for tests bhuvan will be useless after 20 overs and thts why he is bowled out upfront here also give both this whole series im sure shami will get chance to show more wicket taking balls as he will bowl more after his debut he just got 4 overs in last game and apart of tht wide he beat kp and cook several times more then bk in last game and even today he was much more tighter then bk and did not give away anything
rkt.india Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Bk will be better than him when there is swing in the air and the wicket is moist. Otherwise i would back Shami in tests. you did not watch last years Duleep final then. Both played in that. Shami was class above par anyone.
King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Shami Kumar will be ineffective when ball is over 25 overs old
Lord Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Shami Kumar will be ineffective when ball is over 25 overs old come on
express bowling Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 hope he does not gets injured like him :(( btw pace is similar too this season pattinson lost atleast 10k's :P True. Almost all Aussie pacers have lost a lot of pace. I wonder why ?

express bowling Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Shami is obviously the more complete bowler. But I actually like their combination the most. Both have excellent wrist action and get zip and seam movement and both bowl to a plan. Shami is quicker in the air though and that helps a lot.
Lord Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Shami is barely 5ks quicker,not more.BK swings the seams the ball both ways n seems more accurate
nsareen Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 to me both are good in their own space and do not need comparison. Bhuvi is a Test All Rounder ( International ). Shami is a good Test Prospect.
King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Shami is barely 5ks quicker' date='not more.BK swings the seams the ball both ways n seems more accurate[/quote'] Its actually around 5mph difference. Can make all the difference. Kumar is 79 to 81 mph , Shami is 84 to 86 mph
Lord Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Its actually around 5mph difference. Can make all the difference. Kumar is 79 to 81 mph ' date=' Shami is 84 to 86 mph[/quote'] Shami is around 137k,Kumar 132,doesnt make a lot of difference,Kumar has other assets
JaFanatic Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Shami is around 137k' date='Kumar 132,doesnt make a lot of difference,Kumar has other assets[/quote'] kumar is also 85mph bowler:agree: but yes shami is quicker
Lord Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 kumar is also 85mph bowler:agree: but yes shami is quicker yes hes quicker,but not my too much to say hes clearly better
CSK Fan Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Shami Kumar will be ineffective when ball is over 25 overs old Not with the red ball as he also moves the ball off the seam
Cevno Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Its actually around 5mph difference. Can make all the difference. Kumar is 79 to 81 mph ' date=' Shami is 84 to 86 mph[/quote'] Yeah, agreed. Plus Bhuvneshwar likes to skid the surface.
