My god! Ishant hitting the seam after such a loing time

[CG]

our guys had that too when we were batting yesterday and today

The last session of the last test really would have taken lot from the bowlers .steyn is fitter and increased his speed late in the day yesterday.May be our guys are saving for reverse also.

Really long day ahead tomorrow. 98 overs to be bowled, play starts half an year early. Lots of sunshine expected. Hope there is some spin and reverse to keep the bowlers interested, else we could be 70-75 runs behind by close of play tomorrow. Also, hope someone showsDhoni stats of Rohit bowling on India A tours.

If ABDV plays Sehwag-esque, it will 150 behind by close of day.

speed will be down .you cannot expect guys having bowled 50+ overs in 2 days to recover.Do not look at speeds only the zip he is getting at 134ks is far better than what he was at 140ks with wobbly seam.

Ishant is bowling one and a half days after Steyn. Recovery time for both is more or less same, plus Ishant is 5 yrs. younger. If he is getting zip then it's great. But if the reduction in pace is the result of inconsistency in action that creeps in from time to time then that's an issue.

ACtually looks threatening....Needs some luck.....Hope he rolls over the Africans tommorow

Ishant hitting the seam after a 'loong time..'? As in - For the first time ever? :hmmm: When has he ever hit the seam?

IN his early days 2008-2009, Aus tour and NZ tour.

If he is actually hitting the seam and getting zip off the deck then it is great news. Apart from the much increased effectiveness it means that Ishant is actually improving .... something not seen in A long time.
