He isn't quick as in he can't bowl around 90mph but he does bowl 135-140 when his pace is up but then trundles around 125-130 when pace goes down .That ball looks quick .I have seen him surprise many top ranji batsmen for pace ,who have played int cricket.

 

 

So, Unadkat's speed range is 125 to 140 and he loses steam later on. 

 

We need 132 to 145 k as the minimum speed range as we play 60% of our cricket on slow tracks. And pacers who can sustain speeds.

 

Even Siraj has been disappointing in thd 2nd half of this year in terms of speeds.

On the 1st day of test one Ali was bowling 140k consistently ,he bowled  quite a few balls around 145,146 but as he  struggled they had to bring down his pace,but even on day1 he looked the same pace as he did later on and I said that at the time .

 

Speedometers can't always be trusted, they often calibrate based on reputation.Ali is called dizzy in Pakistan, likening him to Gillespie and hence they were showing him 10k quicker and unadkat is the opposite, reputation is that he is slow ,so speedometer is calibrated accordingly.

 

Even when wood was bowling 150s in the tests to Babar ,he did look that quick in the air to me,even if a batsman smashes you at 150k ,the speed in the air is still there and it shows as well but it wasn't there.But they were showing 150k for wood on his reputation.

Many of Woods deliveries were clocked at late 130s,caliberating midway isn't possible(or isnt done that regularly),come'on

 

The ones which looked 150ks were also quick through the air,pak opener barely brought his bat down,

 

Later spells,speed in air and the batsmen were at sync,no interference with the speed gun looked either

Harshit Rana   4  for  94  on Ranji debut.

 

Really looking forward to this kid.   KKR says that he has genuine pace and they rated him.quicker than Cummins. He clocked 146 k+ on IPL debut. 

 

Plus he looks to be around 6'1" and has just completed 21 years. So, should get quicker. 

 

Has a decent yorker and short ball.

Speedometer is not always accurate,if that unadkat ball is 79 mph then there is no point looking at speedometer, because key is to look quick and rush the batsman.

That ball hit some crack and deviated and skidded quickly which surprised and hurried the batter.

Lacks stiffness in his load up. If he improves that, he can be 145 regular.

There are many indian bowlers who can bowl much faster speeds. Easy 140 plus. Even 150. Problem lies with the biomechanics. Many indian kids have plenty of power.

Gurnoor Brar ...  4 for 16 on Ranji debut

 

Really excited about this guy.  He must be  6'4" or even taller and gets steep bounce.  Has a quick fuller ball too.

 

And just 22.

I think M. Yadav is 140+, LSG rates him. In some of their SM/YT videos they seems to be excited abt. him.

Their bowling coach once said he is fastest in their team on that practice day

That's great  !

 

I have included only those guys under 140 k+ category, whose speeds have been measured in actual matches except Gurnoor who looks very quick visually.

 

 

[R!TTER]

If Bangers get anything above 100 for us to chase it will be at best 50/50 - our batting will be under more pressure in the last innings & there will be much more grubbers!

Unadkat bowling before Siraj

 

What is happening  !

 

Siraj is so good against LHBs.

[express bowling]

The commentators talking about Unadkat like he is Bumrah or Shami.

he is more deadlier than both combined... against his own team (ind)

[MK55]

Good intensity by Siraj this morning. Consistently in 138-142 range. And gets a wicket now. Well deserved

Yes definitely. But has got better this spell. Probably the first time this test series.

Unadkat getting good bounce from time to time. Hitting the bat high and rushing batters.

 

Showing the importance of height and hitting the deck hard. 

 

We need to bring in Prasidh and Sen in the test pool ASAP.  Unadkat can be used at No.8 in place of Shardul in SNA.  E may require the swing of Shardul.
