Rebirth of Ishanth Sharma

[Trichromatic]

He will do well in ODIs

[Silva]

Yadav khan and shami are clearly our best test bowlers. Ishant is obviously our odi spearhead though. His strike rate is lower than akram and mcgrath.

[fineleg]

His strike rate is lower than akram and mcgrath.

Ishant in same sentence as mcg and akram

[Silva]

Ishant in same sentence as mcg and akram

Yeah that's how low his strike rate is.

[vvvslaxman]

Okay he is officially "De-faulknered"

[saneindian]

Yes better today Helps that he was treated how a pace bowler should be by dhobi. For some reason he got the VIP treatement:--D New ball, only 2 spells, full 10 overs. No 1 over and 2 over spells. Nice opportunity to get in to groove and get going.

Nope 4 spells 2 (1st and 3rd),4 (6th, 8th, 10th and 12th),2 (38th and 40th) ,2 (45th and 47th) ! But obviously when a bowler is bowling well one does tend to forget his numbers :--D

So REs please guide me on how many overs need to be given to a bowler to get into rhythm?

Ishant is going to be our strike bowler in the test series....The guy is in rythm and this is going to be a revival

[Zanjeer]

Still bowling scramble seam but one good thing he did was to bowl in the good length area and getting bounce due to his height. He was getting his Yorkers right which was refreshing to see.

but.. but.. didn't i hear some ACEs telling that fast bowlers should be used in short bursts of 1-2 overs to preserve their freshness? So they can go all out every ball?

They should be given 5-6 overs to warm up and then given burst of 1-2 overs to perform Based on the invaluable inputs of our resident experts, CI should include stats like warm-up spells, confidence percentage,commitment levels,could have- should have scenarios in player profiles.

^ what about a trial ball before every over :hmmmm:

that's correct actually but it is for real quick bowlers like jhonson who bowls 150 k . Bowlers like ishant Sharma needs needs to get into some sort of rhythm to bowl at his best. Those 2 over spells are for those who are high in confidence and ready to bowl knock out the batsmen. A bowler like umesh who was dropped in the previous series should be preserved a bit to be honest. Today it was much better from dhoni when he gave 4 over spell to umesh after the pp was completed. He also responded really well.

[Yoda-esque]

Ah, confidence measure

[Zanjeer]

Boy, u are relentless, aren't you?:hysterical:

[express bowling]

Ishant was switched ends after his first two overs. Hence a second spell technically. Actually , he bowled 6 overs on the trot at his first go with just one over missed inbetween to change ends.

Actually ' date=' he bowled 6 overs on the trot at his first go with just one over missed inbetween to change ends.[/quote'] Who cares, I mean really, I didnt watch the match and am very disappointed Ishant picked up 4 lmao. Of all the people in the world ffs. If Lambu had failed, someone like Ishwar or Suyal could have gotten looked at IMO.
