Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners


Recommended Posts

Indian fast bowlers have been consistently bowling at very good speeds in the last 2.5 years, especially in test matches.

 

Many pacers can bowl quick in T20Is  and ODIs, but it is very tough to do this with consistency  in test matches. The following posts are a recognition of this supreme effort by the Indian quicks.

looks as though ishant is nearly as fast as varun

vishalbhai ... have you checked above, the really high speeds that these 3 have bowled at in tests in the last 30 months  ?

yes I have ...though i have always been a Varun aroon and Umesh fan but these two guys Shammi and Ishant have consistently focussed on Pace.

Ishant was a under 140K bowler and now he is looking different.

 

Shammi bowls with extra energy n Zing and is giving the Australian fastbowler Cummins and Starc Competition.

earlier he was a Simple 135 to 140 K bowler never going faster than 140K and suddenly he has gone to the next level where as UMESH and Varun started as a 144 to 150 K bowler and declined.

i am disappointed by the selection of under 135k SID KAUL..at best he will just STOP RUNS.

 

I understand he is accurate but with his pace , he wont fetch wickets.

 

Shardul and Siraj who have been already selected are better choices.

 

Shardul can at least go upto 140-145 with the new ball and Siraj is a SNAKE bowler picking up wickets at will.

i am not sure how come they found SID Kaul better than Siraj and Shardul.

there is subtle diff between Ishant/Shami/ and Yadav/Aaron. 

 

Ishant is actually super quick for the gradient in which his deliveries come in he is 6'5 and has a decent higher action. But operates at the a normal speed slightly slower than Umesh/Aaron.

 

Shami can deliver fast deliveries/ super fast spells, but operates normally at a lesser pace than Yadav ( excluding this series) and Aaron when he plays.

 

Yadav/Aaron can operate in 148/140-142 levels questionable control but still thats pace that threatens no matter what the surface is. Like Aaron was probably poor in that test where he broke Broad..but he still broke him. Bodily harm as bad as it sounds or threat of it is a potent weapon in test matches, it has its own quality.

Good post, Aaron is ripe for the picking, he has some experience n if he is bowling with pace n some control he will be a good addition, as a enforcer, I would pick him in test ahead of Umesh at this point as he seems to be down on pace n confidence.

Shami

Ishant

BK

Aaron

Umesh

I think umesh is not that bad now..he is getting into full rhythm.

Secondly Aaron did not create big waves this season and one of the guys who saw one of his match recently was not impressed by his pace too..he posted in a forum in icf.

I m sure he was bowling under 138k...to cut long story Aaron cud also look a bit down from his best days and may be around 140k.

I would want him to be picked on merit and genuine pace ..if he not generating 145k pace..he is not doing a great job.

I may prefer siraj or shardul as the additional pacer..preferred option being

Siraj

Aaron looks like in good rhythm n generating pace n has good stats , if ever there is someone who deserves a place it is Aniket Choudhury ,Siraj is too much of a rookie and can be nurtured at home in with the squad, Shardul to me has poor fitness , is just above average .
