Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[MK55]

Yes quite slower than usual speeds today for Umran. Wonder if it’s the short recovery time for this match or the captains field set plus emphasis on bowling like a 130k bowler.  
Also the pitch seems very slow today. Spinners track so far

[MK55]

Not only is the quality of broadcast poor in terms of speeds being shown but we have to tolerate guys like Deep and Murali.

 

Get some international commentators FFS if u can’t find local quality.

Umran dismisses Hasaranga again with a 145.3 k channel ball that bounces extra.

[express bowling]

Umran 152 k

[Mosher]

Umran 152kph Sunny just mentioned it. 

[MK55]

These idiots keep missing speeds in Umrans overs. That 152k ball slowed down a lot after pitching. It looped to KL behind the stumps.

[vayuu1]

Feel management should be specific to Umran that ur role should be to bowl flat out use him in short spell first spell of 4 with next 6 overs divided into 3 spells,bowl straight bowl quick bowl into stumps occassionally slip in few bouncers, don't bowl either side of stumps or if erring err on fuller side,most importantly bowl fuller to new bat especially lower order bats

Speed measurement and fitness of atheletes have improved.  

 

2003 wc was definitely an outliyer, zak dilhara fernando and nehra did 148 and 149.5 , while their regular speeds were topping at around 142 before. Similarly akthar went from around 154 effort ball to 161.  So inwould imagine a faster speed gun that took favorable readings at around 5ks quicker.

Not really no, medium pacers like razzaq, Oram, tuffey, streak, vaas were bowling there normal speeds, it was evident by the way zaheer was bending his back he was bowling quick, recap back to his debut series in 2000, ct game against aus Zak was hitting 137-144 pretty much every ball, nehra was actually supremely fit, agile and lean, he was zipping through the crease in the world cup, Srinath to got into rhythm and bent his back during the night games. Watch this spell of Srinath here and the speeds look correct. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AdkRSaHNmTA

All of them hit their fastest speeds in the same series and did not do so earlier or since which meant the speed guns were optimistic perhaps. Thats my point.

Shami 144.4 kph hostile bouncer

His field sets has only 2 fielders outside the circle....  Which kind of brain dead field placing is that??? Boy needs protection to bowl fast.  I think they are asking him to bowl line length crap. 

[MK55]

The one thing Umran needs to work on is his tendency to bowl slightly wide at times. Also, needs to realize that bowling fast is his USP. He should stick to that regardless of any advice. 

[MK55]

Shami bending his back today. Unlucky to not get wickets.

[express bowling]

Shami bhai has probably started sexting again.

 

Hitting mid 140s and bowling with bounce and fire.

[Lone Wolf]

Someone needs to guide these guys about Williamson's field placements...  You can't give express pacer only 2 fielders outside the circle?  He cannot go full tilt with such extremely demanding unreasonable field sets.
