But his pace is down a lot ... and this has resulted in him not getting his usual early wickets. I don't like this approach of his. Losing his USP. Umesh Yadav is one of the worst bowlers I have ever had the displeasure to see, with or without pace. Link to comment

Umesh Yadav has never been a thinking bowler and this has resulted in him underperforming for a pacer who combines high pace and natural outswing. However, the biggest purpose that Umesh has served is ... making Indians beleive again that they too can bowl genuinely quick for 6 to 7 years or more. Srinath did so in the 1990s but the 2000s decade saw so many Indian seamers starting their careers bowling at a good pace and then becoming trundlers. Younger pacers and coaches started to believe that Srinath was a freak and we are better off focusing on medium paced swing bowlers only. Umesh Yadav ( and Varun Aaron to some extent ) broke this trend and brought back this belief that Indians too can bowl quickly for many years. Then we have Shami bowling quick for 5 years now but with a much higher level of skills. The last 2 years, we are seeing atleast 15 Indian pacers bowling quick but most of them combining it with good skills too, Bumrah being the most prominent example. Umesh will never be a really good international bowler ... but has served an important purpose. Edited July 14, 2018 by express bowling Mosher, Vk1, Suhaan and 2 others 5 Link to comment

I think its an instruction from the management to bowl within 140. speedheat 1 Link to comment

RAZPOR Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I think the bowlers have been specifically told to bowl slower and not give batsmen much pace to work with on these pitches,if so tbh i am not to happy express bowling 1 Link to comment

You have to bowl to WIN.Not for bragging rights on speeds.On these small pattas, unless you can find reverse swing, you are going for more runs with more pace.And these same batsmen manhandled Starc who is the best ODI bowler right now by a country mile.

Just imagine what would have happened if Kuldeep did not pick those wickets in the middle. In a nutshell ... go for proper slower deliveries if high pace is deemed risky on certain pitches Edited July 14, 2018 by express bowling Rightarmfast, Vilander, Suhaan and 3 others 6 Link to comment

express bowling Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Kaul ... in the first 2 ODIs 10 - 0 - 62 - 0 ER 6.2 ( innings ER 5.4 ) 8 -0 - 59 - 0 ER 7.4 ( innings ER 6.4 ) What does he bring to the table in ODIs ? ( He maybe ok in T20s ) Did not see any great accuracy or other skills which have to be mandatory for a short medium pacer. No wickets and much more expensive than overall economy rate. Looks like a Vijay Kumar type bowler. Edited July 14, 2018 by express bowling Mosher 1 Link to comment

He was fast since he started playing cricket at very young age. Same was Aaron at the age of 15 when he was found by TA shekhar in a hunt. They had fast twitch already which developed more as they grew. Vinay Kumar is bowling since 2006, has he developed those muscles became a genuine fast bowler? speedheat 1 Link to comment
