Who has impressed you more? Shami- Bhuvneshwar

[Sidhoni]

Who has impressed more - Bhuv Who deserves to play tests - Shami This is because Bhuv isn't that good a bowler in conditions that are not helpful but Shami can still manage to do well IMO.

[CSK Fan]

BK will turn into pk

You mean will take 5-fers in tests. Great!

Simple as that. Bhuv in "LOI" would be more effecting than Shami in helpful conditions but Shami can keep it tight even on Pattas.

He has in FC, a few months back all there was were pattas unlike the few green tops now. He doesn't pick regular wickets but he keeps it very tight.

Bhuvi did okay in 1st spell in Rajkot patta n should have had Bell.has outbowled Shami in the matches they've played together so far

thts not true lastmatch shamiwas more impressive and also bhuvan gets more chance as he has completed his overs up front even in debut game of shami he performed well u can say one of them out bowled other specially in last game where cos of pressure and wicket of shami ..we were able to keep england back even though bhuvan was having average day:p

Yes, he has been better than Shami. I would have him any day over Shami in helpful condition in "LOIs" & Shami did far better than Bhuvi in the Ranchi match.

yep

Yes' date=' he has been better than Shami. I would have him any day over Shami in helpful condition in "LOIs" & Shami did far better than Bhuvi in the Ranchi match.[/quote'] yeah he was better in Ranchi,but not by much imo.BK bowled straight 10 overs dont forget. Kumar gets movement due to ability too,not just condition,Kochi was fairly flat in 2nd innings n he still got KP with an indipper

[King Tendulkar]

Well really impressed was how shami bowled to cook in the 2 matches. Cook as we know is a monster at the moment, in form of his life. Yet he did not like facing shami, who gave him nothing. Nothing short, wide or on legs. Contained and troubled cook, who at moment if you give one thing worng punishes you. Really bowled well at top batsman in 2 games. Shami in terms of seam position and pace reminds me of sree. Just a lot more accurate and more even tempremant.

[adi B]

i still think we have not seen best of shami he is gonna surprise people in coming matches if pitches help right now heis pitching bit short

+1..perfect test lengths he bowls

[kubrickian]

Shami also seems to be bowling well to left handers. He troubled Jamshed and Cook who are in very good form. This might be crucial because Aus has many left handers - Warner, Cowan, Hughes, Wade etc. He is also 5K faster than BK.

Ideal state of affairs is that they'd both play in India A over a three match series together. They take the new ball together and see which one does better. Is such a tour coming up?

They have already and Shami outbowled BK.

Anybody, how they bowl with old ball? Who gets reverse swing?

[Old guy]

Anybody' date=' how they bowl with old ball? Who gets reverse swing?[/quote'] yeah shami gets reverse and i saw kaul bowl really well with oldish ball dont think bhuvan has enough pace to both batsmen with reverse..also u need good seam position :p

[vamos_rafa]

Anybody' date=' how they bowl with old ball? Who gets reverse swing?[/quote'] Shami did well against Pakis at Delhi with the old ball. He kept a tight line with a bit of reverse swing.

Dhoni doesn't rate them very highly for test matches.

The skipper is also impressed with the effort of young new ball bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shami Ahmed, but is certainly in no mood not to throw the youngsters into Test cricket right now. "Shorter format will give them (Bhuvneshwar and Shami) more exposure. "Test cricket is entirely different and if you look at someone like Bhuvneshwar, he can be effective in specific conditions. To play him in Tests, you need to have a look at the conditions. Like if we are playing in England [ Images ], New Zealand [ Images ] or South Africa [ Images ] where the ball swings and seams, he can be considered but on sub-continental tracks he would need to alter the length which he bowls," Dhoni explained. "As far as Shami is concerned, he is someone who can bowl quick and can reverse the ball but he also needs to improve."
