What about Atul Sharma :hysterical:

A fake express fast bowler, tire rotator :hysterical:

[Roshanrocks]

There is no outstanding sharma. Yashpa sharma' date=' sanjeev sharma, Rahul sharma[/quote'] they definitely are an out - standing.... bunch.. I remember an Ajay Sharma too..

[Roshanrocks]

A fake express fast bowler' date='[b'] tire rotator :hysterical:

:haha:

[skindia]

Uthappa and manoj tiwari needs so change their surnames..

[veer]

Sharma has problem with moving balls sideways.. But credit to him for sticking upto them

[Roshanrocks]

SRT was the biggest Indian turner I have ever seen... (Not seen previous era spinners)

[AnkurUpadhyay]

Ishant didn't bowl a single wicket taking ball in this match but still got 6 wickets. All those wickets were due to pathetic shots. He bowled as bad as ever.

A fake express fast bowler' date=' tire rotator :hysterical:[/quote'] I recently saw a person in the cricinfo comments section saying Atul Sharma should be in the India team completely oblivious to the whole scam.

[Temujin Khaghan]

Bhuvneshwar is like Rahul Dravid of Indian bowling. He can keep things calm even when team is going in trouble as usual.

:cantstop:

I had asked for Bhuvan to be included in NZ since the SA tour. He would have done really well here and supported Shami well. Look at how Boult was swinging it. Bhuvi and Boult bowl at almost the same pace now. 133-135.

[King Tendulkar]

Meanwhile the bowler with easily the best averag out of ishant bk and yadav sits out. He alsocclearly has the tools in terms of pace to do the iussiness, particularly in those overs when ball becomes older, less swing and we struggle massivley. Those times when need pace. Yes yadav folks

The new ball is hurting both teams, says Murali Vijay http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournament/india-in-new-zealand-2014/top-stories/The-new-ball-is-hurting-both-teams-says-Murali-Vijay/articleshow/29987584.cms At a loss to explain India's poor batting in the ongoing first cricket Test against New Zealand, opener Murali Vijay on Friday said more than the pitch, it is the new ball which is hurting willow-wielders on both sides. The Kiwis piled on 503 runs in their first innings and have reduced India to 130 for four at the end of the second day. But Vijay felt the new ball is affecting batsmen in both the teams equally. "If you see both the innings so far, the new ball did the trick for bowlers in both teams. More than the pitch or conditions, it is the new ball. Initially it tends to swing a bit more and once it gets older, it becomes much easier to bat. That is what is happening in the middle. Hopefully, Rohit (Sharma) and Ajinkya (Rahane) can build a big partnership," said Vijay. The opener scored 26 runs, stemming the collapse after Shikhar Dhawan (0), Cheteshwar Pujara (1) and Virat Kohli (4) were sent back with only 10 runs on the board. India need to make another 304 runs to avoid the follow-on. He built a partnership with Rohit, but was undone when a brilliant delivery from left-arm seamer Neil Wagner knocked back his off-stump. "The New Zealand bowlers were obviously swinging the ball. But we could have played much better. Maybe in the next innings, we can do that," he said. When asked particularly about the delivery that got him out, Vijay replied, "I just need to get it off my system. I think I batted well, I was feeling good inside. I just wanted to have a partnership with Rohit. That was the plan. But it couldn't go my way. "The pitch is still very good for batting. So I am hoping we can go close to their score and put pressure on them," he added. The Kiwis' skipper Brendon McCullum took a fair share of the credit for such a tall score awaiting India, as he hit his second Test double hundred against his favoured opposition. "When someone bats like that, you cannot do much as a bowler. Brendon batted brilliantly for them. I thought there were times when he could get out, but he just carried on and got a biggie. "You have to admire it even more then, because the way he plays his shots and the confidence he has in himself, it is a great thing to watch. We did bowl well, according to our plans, but he batted brilliantly," Vijay signed off.

[GautiMaan]

Yeah lets all admire the opposition and feel good about ourselves

[BeautifulGame]

The problem was both Zak and Shami wasted the new ball and our slip fielding didn't help either

Frankly Zak is done and dusted he should call it a day then the dropped chances didn't help either perhaps thats what happens when the team is losing all the times the intensity drops down and you just go through the motions.

Yea I have to say in the past 10 years SRT is the only one I have seen turn it both when bowling leggies and offies. Harbhajan also gave it a fair whip when he slowed his pace down. When he bowled fast darts they didn't turn.

[The Realist]

Why don't Dumb and Dumber ever front up at press conferences? Aka the so called coach and captain

[Marut]

Sharmas prove a point every 10 games or so, and then disappear for the next nine.

[express bowling]

He played all his tests at home on rank turners.

Bhuvi has not been a wicket taker either in tests or in odis. He has positioned himself as an economical bowler. Indian pacers are often successful on turners. Outside India, the new pacers are often confused as to which length to bowl.
