They are not gay and nor is Shoaib.... why should they come close to him  !  :phehe:

Shaz is a bit like Ramiz hehe...i also had some doubts ( even administered a test - he claims to have barely noticed something..in the pic as well so one never knows with his 'chocolate' 'milk' and coming closer references...hehe):wp6:

A great compilation of Md. Shami's  top spells

 

The beginning of the video has Shami seting up Cook in a test match with 2 delioveries that moved away. The 3rd ball comes in and breaks his stumps in half.

 

This is followed by some hostile fast bowling and swing bowling in the same test series.

 

Watch from 2.50 onward... has the 2  nasty bouncers, the first dislocates Woakes' helmet and the 2nd has him in tangles and lobbing a simple catch.

 

Some great stump directed bowling after that.

 

Near the end, there are some nasty bouncers.

 

We need this bowler fit for our away test tours.... must get him fully fit and bowling in rhythm

 

Shami is  averaging  24 in the  13 tests he played from mid- 2016 onward.

Im a bit worried of Shami. I hope his frequent knee issues havent taken a toll on the body. He looks down in pace these days and that has been the case since the IPL. He may have taken wickets but doesnt look as sharp as he was before.

Shami was bowling his normal pace of 135 k to 146 k in this IPL.

 

He is bowling slower in this series but could be due to the quality of opposition. Even Umesh and Bhuvi are bowling slower.... it is as if they are just getting some light match practice after a big tournament and before an away test series.

Yes Shami did bowl the odd delivery at 145k in this year's IPL but I'm pretty sure his average would have been lower when compared to previous years. Rabada and Cummins were comfortably bowling quicker and were more threatening.


Hopefully he gets somewhere close to the way he bowled in 2015  WC.

Selectors missed out on a chance to groom a back-up fast bowler for test matches, while selecting the test squad for Sri Lanka.

 

We have 5 tours outside Asia, starting this winter.

 

We would need 3 specialist fast bowlers most of the time.

 

The team we have picked has 4 specialist fast bowlers.

 

That includes Shami who  is not fully fit yet.

 

That means  we have 3 more fit fast bowlers.

 

If another one gets injured..... which is quite common among fast bowlers.... we  will have to play an uncapped fast bowler in South Africa.

 

This is why I wanted Bumrah in place of Ishant in this series.

 

There has to be some forward thinking.

^Indians thinking they can slay our bowling attack. Wow this year of 2017 has totally flipped the sides upside down.

 

By the way I hope and pray Bhuvi does not let you down. If it does happen no worries you still got Munaf Patel in your domestic to cover for him.:p:

Great to have you back. We don't go back to old stocks ,unlike our padosis,bring back asif too please.:giggle:

Oh I bet your Indian boyhood dream would dream of having a bowler like Asif. If Asif was back in World cricket your best batsmen would dance like they seen a hot girl. 

I would rather not have bowlers ,who sell their nation for a few pennies. 

And you brought back amir and still gloating over asif ,what a petty sight.
