Vilander Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 I always thought any ball which takes a wicket is wicket taking ball :hmmmm2: nope a wicket taking ball is when the batsman is trying to play safe but gets out, a lucky break is when Vinay kumar gets a wicket when a batsman is taking him on..:cantstop:
Vilander Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 I am talking about an ideal combination. BK or Mohit might or might not do well is a different thing' date=' no one knows. An ideal combination have three different kind of good bowlers. One like BK who swings the ball and can contain and bowl accurately when conditions are not helpful, one like Yadav who can bowl around [b']138-140 and even more if needed and one a good left arm pace bowler who can bowl around 135K or a good tall bowler like Morkel or Finn, etc. Pollock had Donald and Nitni both 140 plus bowling with him. Same with Philander. Asif was tall and also could seam the ball, a different entity altogether. Cannot compare him to BK or Mohit who both are short bowlers. We have BK and Yadav along with Shami. Shami has decent pace and seams and swings the ball both ways. Pandey is there too who is taller and swings and seams the ball. Mohit is a good choice but he will need to gain at least 5-6k of pace as he neither gets extra bounce nor has swing of BK. i honestly think Yadav's stock ball is 142k, he bowls 138-145 in tests..
Vilander Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Height is a big plus' date=' especially if a bowler has the ability to hit the deck hard. All our better pacers are medium or short in height for pacers, namely Umesh, Shami, BK, Aaron. We need a good tall pacer.[/quote'] Pankaj Singh the only option or Anwar Ahamed.
express bowling Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 i honestly think Yadav's stock ball is 142k' date=' he bowls 138-145 in tests..[/quote'] I would say, his range is 135 to 147 k in tests and 137 to 148 k in ODIs.
FischerTal Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Pankaj Singh the only option or Anwar Ahamed. Pandey :poink:
rkt.india Posted November 2, 2013 Author Posted November 2, 2013 Pandey bowled against Tripura(?) nobodies whereas Mohit bowled against lot better batsmen. Dont think Pandey swings the ball in to RHB.hes mostly outswing bowler whereas Mohit swings it both ways.Pandey's height is an advantage though. Dunno how you define wicket taking deliveries,to me if you are accurate and have swing that too both ways,you'll trouble most batsmen It was against Railways on a completely different flat track. Think what he could have done on a better track. Think about this. He bowled 46 overs in the match took 11 wickets for 120 runs, others bowlers of his team bowled 135 overs in the match took 5 wickets. How much a mismatch it was. Regarding inswing, he does bowl inswinger to right hander. I still remember him getting wickets that way last year against Mumbai. HIken Shah lefty edged one that went away from him and clean bowled SK Yadav with an inswinger..
Ghost Buster Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 What i like about pandey's bowling is he always makes the batsman play. If he can add few k's more then he would be an ideal bowler for Indian conditions as well. To add on his pace he shld increase runup or run faster than he is doing now while bowling.
DarthSimian Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 ashwin has become predictible.... Ashwin is eight wickets away from becoming the joint fastest all-time to reach 100 wickets in test. So yeah, he has no reason to get dropped.
maniac Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 :hatsoff: to BCCI for picking the strongest side for a very important series.
FischerTal Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 :hatsoff: to BCCI for picking the strongest side for a very important series. they picked Ishant so there is a great chance we'll lose. without him, we would win
maniac Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 they picked Ishant so there is a great chance we'll lose. without him' date=' we would win[/quote'] m.o.s against WI in WI,anyways hope he focuses on SA tour while being in the squad.....the man knows his priorities :hatsoff:
Vilander Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Pandey :poink: :whack: pandey is not as tall as the other two..
FischerTal Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 :whack: pandey is not as tall as the other two.. Pandey is better bowler :beee: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
