Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[express bowling]

Harshit bounces out Indrajit too.

 

His 3rd wicket in this spell with a short ball.

[express bowling]

Commentators are almost pleading Harshit to stop this bouncer barrage. 

 

Saying that they need to finish off TN's innings and short balls won't do it.

 

Bhai ... it is the short balls that are bringing wickets as there is no movement on offer.

7 ranji league matches in less than 1 and a half months , and hardly any gaps between quarter ,semis and final.This is why trundlers rule ranji .

 

In my view they should play ranji over 3 months not 2 months, Pacers cant recover so quickly.

 

 

Good point.

[express bowling]

Some really good channel balls by Harshit now.

 

Zip, movement and bounce. 

[express bowling]

Harshit Rana will be a wicket taker with the red ball.  A big test match prospect for me. 

 

He is so objective and intense in his approach.

 

Plus has a big heart and genuine aggression. He wants to prise out wickets on a flat deck. 

 

Kept pounding the pitch hard with full effort every ball for 8 overs on the trot with the old ball. This is amazing !!

 

He is just 21, around 6'1" and bowls with pace, bounce, aggression, movement,  intensity, effort and objectivity. 

 

We must develop this kid.

Retained by KKR 

 

Last time, on their website, they were promoting Harshit as the Fastest pacer in their squad, with Cummins and Umesh present.

This could only be this season as domestic cricket is resuming after a long time and they had to fit all the trophies and other international commitments.

Hence v.few grounds will be available for a limited time period.

Previously they played even more matches albeit over longer period of time,so it only added to the workload.

 

If the league phase is going to last one and a half months then they should have about 5 league matches,7 is too many.

Should play more matches with more time till March end. October SMA, November VHT, December to March Ranji trophy. Current group distribution is also poor. Need to have two groups of elite, two groups of plate. 6 teams from elite, 2 from plate to play QF.

Harshit bowled fast, probably 140-145 but they didn't show anything over 135.

Md. Wasim Jnr. had played just 6 FC matches before Test debut.

 

Why is Pakistan choosing such pacers for tests  ?

Bare cupboard. The Hamza guy is a proven first class performer though but is a trundler and over 30. Everyone else is a tapeball bowler who cannot maintain their accuracy at a high speed nor the fitness for long format bowling. Thinking Naseem, Rauf, etc. You could say Pakistani approach is the opposite to ours when it comes to grooming pacers.

Very very few speeds were shown.  I saw a 138 k.

 

My guess is that he was bowling 135 k to 145 k type of speeds.

Why don't they try their better FC pacers ?

 

Wasim Jr, Rauf, Dahani, Naseem haven't played much FC but get selected.

Who is Harshit Rana? 

A bowling all-rounder from Ghevra, Delhi, who loves to bat, Rana is known for his express pace and is currently the fastest bowler in the KKR squad. While the 20-year-old wasn't picked in the IPL Auction in February, he was roped in as an injury replacement for Rasikh Salam. 

 

Having grown up idolising Pakistan's fast bowler Shoaib Akhar, who clocked the fastest delivery at 161 KPH against New Zealand in 2002, Rana, too, believes in the maxim of bowling as fast as he can.

make sense because cummins is mostly in high 130s nowadays, and likewise for umesh. harshit can consistently bowl in low 140s perhaps

Well at least he’s idolizing an express pacer. That’s a start lol. Needs to focus on training and getting stronger. Critical years these to develop pace. Hopefully he’s surrounded by experts but I doubt that. 

I wonder who’s the bowling coach of KKR. A good coach there and exposure will do him a world of good.

they've tried the fast tracking route but even considering that some of their consistent fc performers might be trundlers, you can't completely disrespect the process (lol!)when you select your NT. It would be like us having an attack of only unproven speedsters who had one good ipl season to play test cricket. 

They do this with one or 2 of their batsmen too, the new guy Saud is an exception in that he has made runs for a long time and only recently got a chance.
