Old guy Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 yeah though Test batsman will play reverse at his pace easily Still better than no reverse and less height at almost equal pace ..
Lord Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Gayle is hack now a days against swing Btw he is nothing like andersn who can even seam the ball and bowl bouncers and at his best use to touch 150 k easily and swings the ball much late He is like praveen kumar but with better in swinger and control (for most part ) thats why I said slower Anderson PK was okay last time too despite bowling too short.BK is a lot different and lot better imo
Lord Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 It is conventional swing. He has good inswinger too along with good outswinger. okay great then :nice:
rkt.india Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 thats why I said slower Anderson PK was okay last time too despite bowling too short.BK is a lot different and lot better imo BK is quicker but isnt better than PK in terms of his skill set. PK was superior though slow and also had poor fitness.
Old guy Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 thats why I said slower Anderson PK was okay last time too despite bowling too short.BK is a lot different and lot better imo No way lot better Pk was much harder to read and fooled many English batsmen even on flatter surface while any good batsman can read which way bk is swingin the ball
Lord Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Still better than no reverse and less height at almost equal pace .. yeah but we got Umesh and Shami already for that need someone who can take 2-3 with new ball too :--D
Old guy Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 yeah but we got Umesh and Shami already for that need someone who can take 2-3 with new ball too :--D What's your point ? You already saw him swing the new ball . You can have both skills don't do not have to pick one or another :--D
Lord Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 What's your point ? You already saw him swing the new ball . You can have both skills don't do not have to pick one or another :--D yeah now I am okay with him :nice: now Bhuvi can be backup :P
rkt.india Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 yeah now I am okay with him :nice: now Bhuvi can be backup :P Your ok does not matter. Yam Yes Dhoni. :winky:
Lord Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Your ok does not matter. Yam Yes Dhoni. :winky: Ishant and Zak:((

BK = slightly faster version of PK Pandey = taller (more bounce) version of PK (less swing than PK) Sandeep Sharma = inexperienced in Intl cricket but sorta like PK J. Unadkat = left hand version (less swing) of PK VK = domestic giant version of PK We have various kinds of PK!!! When do we get various kinds of an Indian version of Ryan Harris or Morne Morkel!!! (forget Dale Steyn (skill) or Brett Lee - I won't even talk about those types of bowlers)

(forget Dale Steyn (skill) or Brett Lee - I won't even talk about those types of bowlers) Lol pandey is not like praveen One floats the ball other despite bowling at low pace has different length and way of getting wicket Btw he has done well with older ball too which pk never did so let's wait Unadkat cannot move the ball he is not compare able and vinay just sucks again nothing like praveen who is genuine swing bowler and every country has one guy like him In certain conditions guys like this are useful he just had poor attitude and fitness
express bowling Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Agreed. It is kinda sad to see that while Pandey is 'good'' date=' he can be excellent if only he can up it to 137-142 range average speeds. He has the build and height indeed, but bowling at MUCH SLOWER 130 range.[/quote'] You look at Pandey and you feel, " If only THIS guy could bowl 135 to 142 k." You really want it to happen with him. It will make him a different bowler.
fineleg Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 ^ Absolutely. If Pandey can go 140 on a fairly regular basis, then India will get a huge weapon and other teams better watch out. But I dunno if he can get there ? he needs to crank up by 8-10 kmph steadily.
