Dont think its easy to say. It could be 125 for all we know. The thing is, the bowler seems to have a strong and steady action.

yes, very good runup and bowling action, will get good outswing. Action is a bit similar to Woakes though he bowls from very close to the stumps. He has been an MRF trainee.

Looks 130 + to me easily. 

Such a nice n smooth action

 

 

He even plays a helicopter shot

Lot of upcoming talented pacers in India. Hope to see an Indian fast bowler who can bowl like Steyn in tests. 

:hilarious:

Shami moving the ball a lot at high pace.  ( Mostly into the left-handers )

 

Bowling in good areas too.

Umesh bowling poorly so far

 

Not looking in rhythm, pace is down, spraying the ball on both sides.

 

19 runs from 2 overs in a test match opening spell with batters defending mostly.

 

Punctuating this with a couple of magic balls which may get wickets.

Umesh will probably never become a test quality bowler. Way too inconsistent, poor temperament and doesnt have thinking ability. These are not qualities of a test bowler. He is in the side only because he can generate decent pace and swing but without control, these mean nothing.

Shami bowling lots of balls at 143 k to 145 k with bounce, movement and great accuracy.... hitting the deck hard.

 

Great bowling on a flat track where SL pacers looked average.

Great bowling by Shami in this spell. Good pace, hitting the right lengths and bowling with intent on a flat deck with nothing for seamers.

Pandya picks up his first wicket

 

Sharp straight delivery that seamed in a bit at 135 k and Matthews LBW.

The first ball looked a bit slow, but the pace got better in the remaining balls. The last one looked quite quick. Another promising pacer.

[RAZPOR]

[express bowling]

Nasty 140 k bouncer from Shami injures Karunaratne.
