Vk1 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 as @express bowling bro and others have mentioned this multiple times.. we need to make our odi/t20 attacks multi-dimensional.. have a yorker/death overs specialist ( Bumrah ), early swing ( siraj/chahar/shami ) , hit the deck/bounce ( prasidh/ backup ? ), wrist spinner + allrounder( seamer or spinner).. hit the deck tall bowler was missing and Prasidh is definitely a good addition.. not sure about his batting skills rollingstoned, Mosher and express bowling 3 Link to comment

Fastest balls in the 144 k to 148 k range and average speeds ( excluding slower balls ) in the 137 k to 141 k range ... is something Bumrah, Umesh and even Shami have achieved for multiple years. Prasidh bowling at an average speed of 134 k with a fsstest of 143 k, in only the 5th ODI of his career, is poor speeds and poor effort / intensity. Suhaan and Mosher 2 Link to comment

Prasidh bowling at an average speed of 134 k with a fsstest of 143 k, in only the 5th ODI of his career, is poor speeds and poor effort / intensity. It's his 5th ODI that's why. None of Bumrah, Shami, Yadav bowled that pace early in their career. Only once they settled down and gained confidence and control. Prasidh anyway isn't a 90 mph bowler. He only bowls fast when he runs fast and that leads to loss of control in his case. 135-143 is good pace for him as he is a bounce bowler and should not bowl too many full good length balls as they are harmless. He may not become a good test bowler but a decent ODI bowler. Edited February 7, 2022 by rkt.india Suhaan 1 Link to comment

Nothing is happening and he will suddenly get a ball to bounce steeply and get the edge. In his last 2 ODIs we have seen quite a few edges lob up off short balls and fall in no man's land. The TM need to value this aspect and give him support. I strongly believe that if Prasidh was there in tests in South Africa, we could have won at least 1 more test. He was making vd Dussen hop and jump almost every other ball in the 3rd ODI. And he was one of the batters who stood in our way in the last 2 tests.

This is the ideal age for bowling at peak pace. And there isn't enough sample size to suggest that Prasidh loses accuracy if he runs in hard. This is the kind of logic that led to Indians cutting down pace. He has to practice bowling accurately after running in hard.

SandeepMotta Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 One look at Prasidh yesterday and you felt the "concentrate on line and length and not pace" malise seems to be back in Indian cricket. We have already seen Dravid's preference for trundlers and if Mahmbrey is from the same school of thought then God help Indian cricket. Also, the Indian u19 team win showed how Dravid was given hell a lot more credit for the win than what he should have considering the team he had at his disposal. This time we see the media giving a lot of credit to VVS while we hardly see any mention on kanitkar who is actually the coach of the team. express bowling, Mosher and rollingstoned 3 Link to comment

He created the system. rollingstoned, ShoonyaSifar and Vickydev 3 Link to comment

So is Prasidh hitting 140s and not every ball was 140. Aaron bowled around 136-142 in his debut series against England. I had watched that live. Umesh debuted in Zimbabwe and bowled 138-140. Vaise to even Prasidh has bowled 150 in iPl but pressure of playing for India in international games is completely different. One bad game and you can be out for long. So it's up to a player what he is comfortable doing at and can also do well. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Yeah Shami was round about 130-132 kph when he came.. I remember in aane do series.. He became quicker during 2015 WC & started bowling around close to 140 consistently. Upped his pace further after that & became a lot more skiddy & quick. Link to comment

Err Dravid tok over as the coach of u-19 and A teams in June 2015. That 2018 team was literally him getting them picking from u16 levels and getting them ready for the 2018 WC Making the u-19s play vs Board President's 11 with senior international players or vs U-23s was his way of toughening them up. Plus at least 18-20 preparatory matches all over the world. Criticize him for his decisions as the national coach but he was the best ever persy mentoring u-19 and A team players. Link to comment
