Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[express bowling]

Shami seaming the ball both ways 

 

Ishant getting outswing and inward seam movement

 

Ball flying through to the keeper

 

Pitch not looking flat with our fast bowlers bowling

[express bowling]

Pacers bowling  amazing spells .... with great accuracy, pace, bounce and movement 

 

Targetting the top of off stump and  just outside off

 

2 wickets

 

2 catches dropped at slips

 

1 plumb LBW not given 

 

 

[vishalvirsingh]

Ishant is competing well with Shammi.

Has created opportunities to get wickets as much as shammi.

Ishant is bowling similar pace as shammi

And similar line n length.

Loved the Md.Shami interview

 

He said that the instructions to the fast bowlers by the management were to  bowl in the right areas and bowl fast

 

This is the way to go

 

Both Shami and Ishant had a high % of deliveries targeted between the top of off to top of 5th stump ..... put in a lot of body into their bowling and hit the deck hard .... bowled with pace .... resulting in extraction of a lot of life, bounce and seam movement from this apparently dead pitch 

 

Bhuvi and Shami bowled similarly in Eden barring the early spells.

 

This is giving me a lot of hope for SA.

 

Shami, Ishant, Bhuvi and Bumrah should be the first 4 pacers for SA with Umesh as the 5th.

Shami was easily averaging 140 kph+ in first spell. Barring few deliveries in 138-139 all his deliveries were in range 141-145 kph.

Shami  Fastest 143 k  Average 139 k

Ishant  Fastest 142 k  Average 138 k

 

Amazing speeds on a ground where the Lankans found it difficult to complete overs and stay on the ground due to polluted air and supposed  breathing problems

If ishant can maintain this form in sa, we won't miss a bowler like bumrah there.

What Nigel Llong did was unprofessional in the age of DRS

 

A full ball by Shami had hit the batter on the pad plumb in front.

 

Llong indicated that the ball had hit the bat, as the reason for turning down the appeal .   We did not reviw as a result but replays and snicko showed that it was plumb LBW and no bat was involved 

 

Shami and India were robbed of a wicket

Bharat Arun interview, praising our fast bowlers.

Arun is doing a good job .... most of our pacers are combining accuracy with pace while hitting the deck hard.  Getting wickers too.

I watched a bit in the 1st session. Shami bowled a fiery spell with a lot of quick bouncers. Quickest I saw him bowl was 143k. Ishant too bowled a lot of bouncers. He was bowling around 140k. @express bowling Bro please update the speeds for their spells which they bowled later on in the day.

Ishant i saw a 143.x btw live in willow. 143.4 in tv or 143.1 per bcci.

[King Tendulkar]

I have no exact stats . But late in day shami and ishant were still bowling many balls at mid to high 80s 

 

no dropping to low 80s or to below 80 .

[Vk1]

Shami seems to be bowling at his best. The way he extracts edges on these indian pitches is amazing.  If he can help us in winning outside.. should be treated as a ATG. Outstanding bowler.

[vishalvirsingh]

my prediction before the match was Ishant would do well but not as good as Shammi but it seems as both did equally well.

 

i will be cheating and biased if i say that Shammi bowled better than ISHANT in this Test. I was excited to see the contest going on between these two and i realised that IShant created equal no of opportunities.

Ishant Hit the Batsman equally and created that FEAR Factor that I always Talk About and I value it very highly. I mean to say that IShant and SHammi both hit their batsman at least 4 times each and created Fear.

i guess both got equal no of wickets till now...the competetion between the two still goes on as there is one more innings..lets see.

But Yes Umesh was beaten black and blue in the previous test by Ishant and by Shammi in the first Test, indicating Umesh wont get a place in the 11 in South Africa as BHuvi/Bumrah could be the third pacer along with Pandya. i think it will be IShant Shammi Bumrah Pandya attack or a be BHuvi gets a chance. 

unless Umesh improves big time , he may get a chance to bowl in the nets. 

india has taken a very strong Pace attack.

Bro, I did not watch all the overs today.

 

Speeds I saw today

 

Shami    135 k to 143 k

Ishant   135 k to 143 k

 

Both pacers bowled lots of quick and hostile bouncers, as you said,  and got good bounce off normal balls too.

You need a coach with a million $$$ contract to give that advise??? 

 

99% of ICF would have given that for free
