CG Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Former India pace bowler Manoj Prabhakar said that he will make Ishant Sharma a champion bowler if he gets a chance to work with the gangly bowler for a month. Ishant was hit for 30 runs in the 48th over by James Faulkner in the third One-Day International (ODI) at Mohali. “Ishant has to bowl for long hours in the nets. I really do not know how a yorker can be bowled with a crossed seam. It cannot land on the target. But most importantly, his basic problem is that his shoulder drops down. As a result, he looses his momentum and position,†Prabhakar told MiD DAY. Prabhakar said Ishant faced similar problems in 2007 but he did rectify his issues. The subsequent tour of Australia in 2007-08 say Ishant trouble Ricky Ponting on a consistent basis. Prabhakar wondered how Ishant’s problem of dropping his left shoulder early was undetected by Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. Wasim and Waqar have been Ishant’s bowling coaches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad respectively. Prabhakar accused that Ishant was not adviced to take his words by a former Indian bowling coach. Surprisingly Prabhakar’s last game for India was when he was hammered for 47 off four overs in a group World Cup 1996 game against Sri Lanka in Delhi. “Ishant has to work hard on his bowling. His running is not a problem. There are some technical issues, but if he comes to me, I will help him become a champion bowler again in a month. If not, I will never talk about cricket again,†said Prabhakar.
Ghost Buster Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Every Indian fast bowler bowls fast when they are new. Once their place in the team is confirmed they cut down their pace to play more matches, Ishant is the same.
goose Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 'I will never talk about cricket again'. bit extreme?
tweaker Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I hope after 1 month Ishant turns to offspin.When he was hammerred for runs in his last odi,i turned to spin
The Realist Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 You send a clapped out car that keeps on breaking down to the scrap yard rather than applying sticky tape.
Pagalpanti Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Send him to Manoj.. 1 teer 2 nishane.. Ishant will be out of the team while we'll be spared of Manoj's expert views..

Helping Ishant ... my ass ll Sachin: 137 (137) - 8 fours and 5 sixes :hail::hail: Not every great player becomes a good coach. Not every good coach was a great player. He was average, but he did not have the gifted ability that Ishant has, the pace and height. Ishant are lacking in technical aspects where Prabhakar was good.
MCcricket Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Ishant as a player only got his bowling right 15 % time in his career, that is very poor,for me unless he is let go for a year or more and rediscover his game then only needs to be looked ay
