Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

He will open the bowling since Bumrah won't be there except for marquee events. Outside Asia we won't need 3 spinners so need 3 pacers + hardik + spin allrounder and/or pure spinner 

It is clear Harshit is not a PP/new ball bowler, he is the enforcer. We saw that in the ODI, but he can develop this skill to swing the ball over time. Till Shami retires, him or Siraj will work the Powerplay/new ball along with Arshdeep.
 

However, I’m excited to see what Umran Malik also brings to the table this year. I also believe Nitish Kumar Reddy when fit can be an amazing PP swing bowler, and in Tests and ODIs he can take the new ball in SENA. Hardik is a great batsman but his bowling doesn’t have bite anymore and I’m not sure in which overs lie his strength.

 

Other swing-bowling allrounders include Arshad Khan, who bowls quick left arm but seems to keep getting injured for MP.

 

TLDR; it’s exciting to see how India uses its pace reserves this year in SENA.

Disenchanted after Australia. Haven't watched anything. How did it go? Did he maintain the pace?

 

Happy to see that Harshit is hitting mid 140s easily and regularly. Not just about 140. And he is getting zip, bounce and seam movement. Only weakness is bowling in the first 4 overs with the brand new ball.

I think with the attitude he has shown he will be able to get more tighter in first 4 overs and will develop some seam and swing too..

He will get experience and maturity as he playes more..that will result in improvement..and once he gets this complete feeling that he belomgs to this level.. you will see he is reflecting thst confidence and calmness in batting too..

 

however most important job is to maintain fitness..and stay major injury free

For new ball, you must have bowlers with the ability to swing like Starc and Steyn or very immaculate with control and bounce like Hazlewood. Hit the deck bowlers are more helpful with the older ball.

think predominantly bringing the ball into batter does not help much unless its coming back too sharply, rourke (nz) had same issue in pak-tri series

Was going through the Mumbai Ranji trophy squad, sad to say that its been a long time since a Mumbai has produced a exciting young fast bowler. In fact after Zaheer we hardly had anyone been in the spotlight. Apart from Yash Thakur none of the seamers in the Ranji Semifinals are up to the mark or a potential India material

yash has also bowled some incisive spells and i feel he should be one who should be backed by GG and agarkar.

few others to get a look in 

-kuldeep sen

-tushar deshpande

Yash has too much charbi for a fast bowler.

Beech wale gine chune hi hain.

Yash Thakur looks a tad fitter. Bowling in low 140s

No comparison in between between the two.

Damn. Just started watching this match from 45th over onwards. The Pakistani bowlers are bowling at 100mph :P Doing the same mistake Indian bowlers of the 90's used to do, bowling short. Too scared to get hit, and thats exactly what they are getting. Bowling around early 80mph. Pathetic.

He is proper fast bowler tall, fast, not many bad balls, has some zip, good for test and can be successful in white-ball if adds some variation will be hard to pick due to v.high release point.

Looks like NZ has pivoted to v.tall bowlers - Orourke, Jamison, dufffy, sears and there was another simlly or something
