Saini is probably weak 6'1" like Sangwan who too is over 6 feet but only half an inch over 6. Khejroliya is weak 6'2". he is taller than both Sangwan and Saini.

anecdotal but i see thats optimum for fast bowlers, somehow the uber quicks who retain their speeds are always around 6-6'1. Starc is an exception.

Bhuvi has not got the swing in first spell too...so is looking average.

Bhuvi was using bounce rather well in CT 17 and SL 17.

 

I am surprised he has not used bounce in SA, which is much more conducive to hit-the-deck bowling.

That was a cracker of a delivery!!

So Bumrah is really cranking it up and getting wickets due to his pace and Accuracy. Pandya was trundling it in his first spell in 120s and then somehow he just came back the started hitting 140s and hurrying up the batsmen. During this spell the physio was giving him back massage. I think he is not 100% so is not giving it his all.

That delivery reminds me of of the ball bowled by Mohd Amir (pre-ban) in England in 2010 against Aus to Mitchell Johnson. Angled in with pace and straightened out. completely squared him up.

 

Man, I don't know why he is not playing already. He is already 25, has pace and movement. Should be on the plane to England, but with BCCI, who knows!

It's selectors fault to not pick. Management's call to call him for nets and then send back. He is one bowler who currently has everything going for him. He is tall enough, he can bowl 140+, he bowls well with new ball, he bowls reverse swing well and he is accurate. No other Indian Pacer offers all three dimensions currently. He made Shami look like club bowler in the Ranji trophy game they played together.

A rare video of 3 greats, Waqar Younis, Dravid and Azharuddin! 

 

We often curse our bowlers bowling the wrong lines. Notice Waqar spraying leg side a bit. All bowlers make such mistakes. But what stroke play by the great Dravid and Azhar on such a difficult pitch as this one in Canada!

 

The posters who started watching post 2000 will never understand the kind of excitement these matches used to generate. We used to get up early mornings to watch these away matches, most of the time ending up being disappointed at India losing key moments due to lack of fast bowlers. The only real fast bowler we had was Srinath, who was heavily overloaded with work. To give an example, one can just imagine a Md Shami or Umesh Yadav bowling alone with a partner like Vinay Kumar from the other end! 

 

To say that even a great like Waqar or Wasim in such a position as Srinath would have struggled, wouldnt be out of place.

He is always quite quick, I'm not sure in terms of exact speeds.

 

But he is always on the money. Even more than B. Kumar. Bumrah is definition of on the money bowling.

Bumrah bowled 140-145. Has bowled well so far. Got Markram with a fuller length delivery which jagged back in at 145k.
