Forever Indian Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 44 minutes ago, vishalvirsingh said: siraj and bumrah should open our attack as Siraj has bowled better than Umesh when ever they have bowled together. we need to get rid of this LAMBU who gets into the 11 just for his bouncer capability...he still does not bowl the full length that takes wickets. I am disappointed with Umesh - why is he not bowling 140 to 150K which he is capable to bowl at, i truly believe that umesh can bowl 138 to 150K pace and if he cannot do that he is not required to represent Indian test 11 as his USP was PACE and if he does not have that, let him play for his state team only. everyone has been criticising SHammi and shammi bowled with serious Pace during some spells and I can tell you he was UNLUCKY not to get more wickets ...when ever he bowled english batsman found the going very tough. Shami should be fine, just needs to make sure that he maintains same intensity throughout match. In first test he was off radar and low on speed in 2nd innings, we could not see how he was in 2nd innings at Lords. So his challenge will really be to give his all in 2nd innings as well.

Shami's speeds have been good in all 3 innings. But, in the 2nd innings of the 1st test, he was pitching it a bit too full in search of swing. In the other 2 innings, he has bowled good lengths mostly, with wonderful lines ... and got wickets. Mosher 1 Link to comment

Prithvi may actually benefit from being included than Mayank IMO. Also would get Vihari in the middle order. Siraj would be a very good inclusion, can't do worse than our current pace attack. I am in favour of Siraj and Shaw in place of Shardul and Dhawan. Mayank's off-stump game is not good. It is important that we choose batsmen with good off-stump games for test matches. Vihari won't be bad but who will be replace ? Forever Indian 1 Link to comment

Shardul has gone there just to make numbers,he was never ever needed there not much pace on offer neither does have swing..so no place for Shardul like bowlers to travel.. Siraj was bowling in red hot form,selectors need to be dynamic with their approach,they are too orthodox,they have to think beyond "pecking order" when other teams are doing it..they have left us behind UrmiSinhaRay and express bowling 1 1 Link to comment

Vihari can come in place of Pujara if he fails in 3rd test as well. May be a bit harsh but no other go. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

express bowling Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) The outswing of Rajpoot could have been so effective in the 2nd test, with 5 of the top 7 English batters being right handers. Edited August 17, 2018 by express bowling Forever Indian 1 Link to comment

Yeah ,u r right, ,just to hold his action a tad bit longer,u think he needs to pivot or jump a bit more or just increase hang time by itself? Link to comment

express bowling Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Bumrah back in the team as expected ! Hope he is in form ... which is not always easy after an injury induced break. But, he can get back in the groove by the 2nd innings. In-form Bumrah and Shami bowling in tandem, in helpful conditions, can be a sight to behold for fast bowling fans.
