How do we save Ishant Sharma ?

[ravishingravi]

Or rather do we want to ? Well it is tempting to back him. Or at least hope that the bowler who made Ponting look completely at odds at his peak, is able to get his game back. He had the pace. He has the height. Somewhere he lost the brains. His action has also gone wrong somewhere. Seems to be falling away. And his wrist doesn't seem behind the ball. And of course chu's flowing hair doesn't allow him to actually see where he is bowling. But yes somewhere I hope, this guy justifies the talent.

Make an Ishant Sharma vs Umar Akmal thread.

Only he Can Save Himself. It is Down to Him To Put In the Hardwork

[cowboysfan]

Time to move on,let him work on it in domestic cricket.

:nice:

Ishant is young but I really doubt if he can improve from here.. 51 tests is no joke, most bowlers improve given the amount of games.

dont give a damn!!

There is only one way-- brain transplant.

+ haircut + keeping him out of Maniac's team.

Not a bad time for Ishant to go back to Delhi Ranji squad. Two seniors, one hurting badly and wanting to regain hi India spot, other perhaps a little nonchalant but still hopeful. Nehra also around to guide him. He will not feel totally lost in the system away from national squad. He should aim to play a couple of full seasons of FC cricket, sort out the technical issues with his bowling , take plenty of wickets which he has always done in domestic FC cricket and then comeback at around 27, maybe before the 2015 WC. 25 can never be the age for a fast bowler's career to end.

Yep.......total reassessment of his bowling......I too will remain hopeful as he possesses the raw attributes to be a very good bowler......but he needs to do some deep introspecting.....and learn to bowl yorkers.......

It's too late. Delhiites like Saneindian and cricketics are delusional to think Ishant will ever mount to something substantial. His confidence is shot. The team management has lost faith in him. This guy is finished. FINITO

Lalooji aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya.

Main toh aage hi hoon aur aage se dekh raha hoon. Tum log peeche ruk gaye hai aur dekh nahi sakte :((

Ishant's career is heading nowhere fast. He was kept in the team far longer than he deserved and instead of cleaning up his act he repeated his mediocrity. No need to feel bad for him - he has earned enough (and hopefully saved enough) to fund his retirement. There is still IPL where he can ply his trade before the owners wise up and stop bidding for him.

Follow the following steps: Step # 1: Cut his long hair Step # 2: Put on a fake mustache and beard Step # 3: Face reconstruction surgery Step # 4: If Indian selectors ever select him in the team, decline to play. He needs to follow all of the above steps if he wants to be saved from the stones, eggs and tomatoes that will be pelted at him if he plays for India again!

the larger question is how does Indian cricket get saved from Ishant Sharma in the future? :hmmm:
