Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[nsareen]

any speeds coming up for tendulkar ?

[express bowling]

Umran 23 runs in 9 overs. Good economical bowling. 

 

Bowled in good areas in the 9th over. 

 

Bowled a channel ball that seamed away from the LHB with bounce.

 

 

[nsareen]

did anybody notice, arjun's walk is a bit awkward!! Its as if he cannot keep his heels on the ground!

[express bowling]

Umran bowled a jaffa that seamed away with bounce at 144 k.

 

Batsman misses it.  

 

Ashok Malhotra says something to the effect that this happens often but unless a wicket falls, it does not mean much. Why is he so negative when it comes to quick bowlers !

Is Yudhvir an AR? Hit the deck bowler. Bowling good tight lines so far. Gets decent bounce.

Yes he is a lower order hitter...  Was with MI last year I guess

Cricketers like him were responsible for the fall of Indian cricket in late eighties and nineties.

It is not the commentary which bothers me, but the fact that these are the guys who become selectors both at national level and state level and coaches at state level.

Umran bowling 144 k to 149 k in his 9th over.

 

Ashok Malhotra talking about Umran needing to reduce his speeds in some overs ( probably means most of the time ) so that he can bowl 20 overs a day.   

 

This is the first thing that comes to their minds.

There must be some Agency training commentators for various cricket platforms,must look for their  services 

Lackluster voices , echoing prehistoric cricketing methods doing immense harm not just to Indian cricket but also world cricket

 

 

[express bowling]

Umran gets hit for a 4 due to poor line on leg stump.

 

Hindi commentator blames his pace " Lagatar jis speed se daal raha hai, thodisi bhatkegi to 4 hoga "

Indian domestic cricket and cricketers are totally against any aggressive brand of cricket.

 

They become afraid when stroke players are batting too, not just quick bowlers bowling. 

 

Remember Kishan hitting in a Ranji match and the commentators were egging on the bowler to dismiss him as he was not showing the " requisite patience ". 

[express bowling]

Judging by their commentary, most Indian domestic cricketers can't look beyond what is happening now.

 

They can't gauge the potential of young cricketers, especially bowlers. 

[express bowling]

Ranji commentators tearing Umran apart.

 

Criticizing him nonstop whole day even when he is not bowling.

 

They would probably have banned him from playing any form of cricket if they had the power. The hatred in their voices is amazing to hear  !

 

This is just a young kid playing his 7th FC match. Let him learn his craft by playing more and more matches you jealous morons !!

You should have seen the way this Ashok Malhotra was talking about Chirag jani and Prerak mankad. He was talking that since these players play on Rajkot highways they learn how to be pin point accurate which help them cause discomfort to batters with their pin point accuracy.
Jani was bowling 120-125, Prerak 115-120 and he was like, gati hi sabkuch nahi hai...they have the variations and they don't allow an inch of freedom to the batters, always teasing them around edges.

Even James Anderson won't get this much praise from English commentators.

Malhotra is the guy in charge of selecting the selectors.  And we all know how he has fared on that front.

 

My fear is that these kinds of regressive minded people are in big posts now. They will bring down Indian cricket.

These are Cavemen,they themselves were nonames in their playing days and still remain one

Can't digest , innovation

[Rightarmfast]

What has Ashok Malhotra achieved in his professional career to hold such positions in Indian cricket? A below average cricketer will always pull down others because of inferiority complex. Neither is he an MBA from Ivy League to become a tactician or business brain. 

 

BCCI has always been infested with below mediocre minds. Dont expect it to grow with such leaches around.

But for Gods sake, if you cant do any good for Indian cricket, dont discourage budding stars just because of your inferiority complex.
