Bowlers for 1st test

 

Bumrah

Siraj

Shami

Shardul

 

Ashwin

 

 

Good !!

[express bowling]

The Saffer bowling attack has lacked pace in the first session. 

 

Over the years, the opening test in SA meant getting accustomed to a lot of hostility. But that has been sorely missing so far. 

 

Rabada has become a yard slower ... Ngidi is medium pace anyway and Jansen is Fast-medium but has lacked that needed intensity so far.

Bro, not able to watch the match. How's the pitch?

[Forward Defence]

Ngidi has upped his pace and is bowling better now. Almost each delivery close to 140

What was Jansen's Fastest today ?

 

I saw lots of 132 k to 136 k balls too.

 

Most importantly, he has not really hurried batsmen with any regularity despite being so tall and bowling at Centurion.

Bro, the pitch has spongy bounce. Has not been fast so far, probably due to lots of rain yesterday.  Can quicken up if the sun shines.

Rabada 142

they will probably not allow Olivier in so easily - there will still be some grudges against him after his boot-licking of Eng when he was a Kolpak player (stated more than once that he wants to play for Eng, that it's his dream, etc)

Hmm... must have been one of his fastest balls. looked down on pace.

[vijaydude]

Right arm medium-fast Bumrah strikes.

[Forward Defence]

Bumrah 144

[Forward Defence]

Bumrah has twisted his ankle, Shami bowling like a dream

[express bowling]

I hope Bumrah recovers soon from his twisted ankle.

 

Sometimes it is not as bad as it looks and the person is reasonably ok within a couple of hours. 

[express bowling]

Siraj bowling with some fire now.

 

Bowling quite a few hostile balls.

[express bowling]

Bumrah was generating so much pace and bounce ... with accuracy and movement. (  Consitently 138 k to 144 k with zip and bounce )

 

It is really sad that he twisted his ankle.

Ankle twist takes 2 to 3 months the to recover. Worse than knee. He will be strapped now.
