Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[express bowling]

Shami bowls 4 slower balls in his 3rd over.

 

Seems like this pitch is ideal for bowling slower balls.

[express bowling]

What is happening to Australian pitches. !!

 

Looks like we are playing in Asia ... Brown pitch and slower balls are gripping.

 

I did not watch the first 26 overs though.

 

Remember our 1991-92 tour of Australia when even a short medium pacer like Prabhakar was getting the ball to carry head high.

 

 

[Gollum]

Natarajan is similar to Fizz. Doesn't cut the ball that much but has an excellent yorker to compensate. Will be handy on abrasive surfaces. So far so good. 

[express bowling]

Chahal finishes with 3 for 25

 

Basically turns the match for us.

 

[Vk1]

what a yorker by Natarajan.. brilliant

Natarajan bowls Starc with a cross seamed yorker.

Good to see both Bumrah and Shami rested.

 

First time I have seen 6 medium fast bowlers and no fast bowler playing in an India - Australia T20I match.

 

Chahar

Natarajan 

Shardul

 

Tye

Sams 

Abbot 

 

[express bowling]

13 runs off Chahar's 1st over

 

No swing so far, which is his strength.

[express bowling]

Shardul ... good bouncer at 135 k

[express bowling]

Shardul bowls his first over at around 135 k

 

Plus 3 slower balls 

 

8 runs off the over 

[express bowling]

Shardul bowls his 2nd over around 140 k

 

There was a good bouncer and a good rising short ball too.

[express bowling]

India win the T20I series.

 

This is good on every level.

 

And this means Bumrah and Shami will get lots of rest too.

[express bowling]

Natarajan was very good with 2 for 20 from his 4 overs.

 

 

Chahar was poor with ... 4 overs ... 48 runs ... 0 wickets

 

Shardul ... 4 overs  ... 39 runs ... 1 wicket ... was expensive too.

would you call Shardul as expensive.. I felt that he was reasonable today for his skill

Going at almost 10 runs an over has to be called expensive.

 

His last over was very good though 

[ShoonyaSifar]

From being a T20 regular suddenly Saini has become not good enough.

 

If it was the original squad picked, neither Natarajan nor Shardul would have played these T20s. That's how pathetic Kohli-Shastri have been with their vision and planning. Zero understanding of what they want and which players.

Really sad !!

 

Natarajan has been highly impressive in the 2 T20Is.

 

But Saini does not get a chance and a new bowler ... Shardul ... is suddenly included in the T20I squad and playing 11 ahead of Saini.

 

This means complete lack of faith of the TM in Saini as a T20 bowler

 

So, does he suddenly become a bad T20 bowler after 2 bad ODIs. 

 

Or if he was not thought to be a good T20 bowler, why was he included in the T20 squad in the first place ??

 

My question is ... why was Saini played in the first ODI despite a back spasm ?  It's possible that playing him with a back spasm has ruined his LOI career.

 

From the next all-format bowling hope 15 days back to a nobody in 2 weeks !

 

Where is the talent spotting ability of our selectors and TM ??

 

And the current in-favour non-established bowlers may face the same fate after a few bad matches.

Instead of writing such a long post should have just written

 

KOHLI THE LEADER

kohli has his issues but he is under pressure and it's not easy for any pacer to bowl against aus ,how many ind pacers have bowled well in aus ? to succeed our pacers have to lift their game and become world class, just being talented is not enough.

 

Bumrah. Shami and Ishant bowled exceptionally well on our 2018-19 Australian tour.

Okay,but what is Kohli's role what was the need to force Saini play when he had back spasm?

Isn't he supposed to look after his resources on such a long tour?
