G_B_ Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 For me personally he looked a bit rusty today. To be expected IMO. But he was constantly in the 140 plus region and was sort of bowling within himself. Ie i thought at full tilt could bowl in the late 140s. But i am very disappointed in the way Dhoni handled him today. I thought that rather than bowling nearly 13 overs of spin on the trot we should have attacked with Varun after 10 overs at one end. We let that guptill-williamson partnership build. For me Varun needs to take the new ball than be first change. I would hold back BK and Shami and Sir for the death overs.
kaptaan Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 read somewhere that he is good with old ball than the new ball
G_B_ Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 I think regardless he should have bowled more in the 10-20 over region. As things stand he was first change. Dhoni held him back IMO a bit too much after a 3 over spell.
Gollum Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Bowled ok, remember he was coming after a long layoff. Irrespective of how he and Yadav bowl, both must be persisted with if we are eager to taste overseas success in the coming future.
G_B_ Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 I would also like to see Aaron bat a bit higher up the order. Much better batsman than 11.
Lord Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 spinners in death overs is big big risk.so only option is to bowl him first change for 4 overs and then 6 at the end
SLICKR392 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I would also like to see Aaron bat a bit higher up the order. Much better batsman than 11. Way more matured than Shami but Bhuvi can be a handy bat while setting a target.
G_B_ Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Way more matured than Shami but Bhuvi can be a handy bat while setting a target. Bhuvi with the bat disappoints me. In ODIs imo Bhuvi is no good. In test matches he has the technique to block and a sound defence. Aaron has the built to smash the ball around which is ideally suited for these pitches.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 It was his first match back, nerves, possibility of being benched if not impressing. He bowled with good pace, at times kept things tight. He was unlucky at times because the ground was so small. That chance that dhoni went for could have been a wicket. He is the type of bowler you want. Runs in, confident, aggresive, fearless. Not erratic, bowled consistent yorkers. Could tell NZ had some trouble facing him. I can bet that if he was allowed to bowl full and straight yorkers the tail would have been out cheaply. Instead, b kumar got the ball which is understandable but you need wickets. Same trio of pacers need to play in 4th odi, or what message does that send? New ball bowling simply needs to be tighter. Really good comeback from 181/1 to almost 289 all out.
adi B Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 aaron is a partnership breaker and predominantly a death bowler,he should be bowled in the BPP and the death ovrs,he is a 1st change bower..i am not that confident of shami,bhuvi bowling at the end like aaron..aaron will definitely find his rhythm come 4th odi
AnkurUpadhyay Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Aaron looks and behaves like a leader somewhat.. in the Zaheer mould. That can be a big plus for our pace attack as it is missing a leader right now.
G_B_ Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 ^ i am sorry but he looks nothing like zaheer. aaron to me is a hit the deck bowler who bowls about 10k faster than zaheer who relies on swing. As far as bowling at death goes, fair enough point taken. Its maybe just a case of getting some games under his belt.

As far as bowling at death goes, fair enough point taken. Its maybe just a case of getting some games under his belt. I am not comparing bowling styles here. According to me, he is the sort of player that loves to take responsibilities. He can be the next leader of Indian pace attack after Zaheer khan and Ishant Sharma(:winky:).
rkt.india Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 He was pretty accurate to be called rusty though. I can remember only 2 real poor balls, one a half volley on legs went for boundary and another a short and wide, an attempted bouncer, went for boundary. He needs to improve his consistency of hitting right length.
Old guy Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 he did well considering the track yeah wicket was of lose ball but it was cos of pressure created by full balls he bowled before that might have been chasing 350 if ishant was playing
puneet28 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I was amazed to see him bowling upto mid 140s, was expecting him to around 135 as he is making a comeback. Should have give a longer spell initially. He was bowling well there and put breaks on runs.
cricketman Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 gives me sreesanth vibes TBH (not a bad thing)
