Anyone who rates Wood over Philander in tests, is basically nothing more than a speed hound who knows nothing about actual fast bowling.No clue at all.

Not comparing h2h with philander. 

Philander would be a goat bowler I'd you judge him by stats. But he is far from it. He stat pads in sena. He thoroughly sucks in Asia. One dimensional can is what he is. 

 

On a lifeless pitch I would pick wood over a proper trundler like philtrundler.

Check phitruldners record in India and Lanka. 

Again, what about countries apart from this, why didn't you mention UAE or Australia?
Wood averages 40+ in England, a country suited to pace bowling, what do you make of it?

He averages 25 in Australia. 

In England the surface doesn't t suit him. He isn't a trundler like phiktrundler. Only swing trundlers do well in England and nz. 

But we all saw how good other bowlers of englund did in Australia and India.

i would agree with the same decision 10 on 10 times...mark wood would be preferred to philander at all times except for swinging conditions as probably philander can do better under swinging conditions.

Which dud cricketer did I glorify? lol
I don't even glorify guys like Umran and Prasidh, it's your job of glorifying every other 2 kaudi ka talent

2 kodi ka guys like present Kohli,who are no more than mere passenger in the side

England if you know traditionally helps swing bowlers more than hit the deck bowlers

Mark Wood's role is different,he is used to break partnership s which are settled

 

If a swing bowlers is on song say if Anderson is on song ,no one will feel the need of operating with Wood

Same swing bowlers struggle in Aus and SC conditions

Even Bhuvi..Chahar..will make batsmen dance in swinging conditiond..outside of that they become liability when there is no movement..

Prime bhuvi was actually a quality bowler though. He is not in the same bracket as chahar. Bhuvi wrecked abd a couple of times and pommies in swing conditions.

That's right but you got to analyse performance of bowlers rationally.
Umran's eco is something which will toruble use a lot on importannt days, I only said he needs to work on that especially those wide line.

 

For new players, who are work in progress but have high ceilings potentially  ( applies to every such cricketer ), it is important to give them sufficient game time and let them develop. Too much analysis of performances are not needed at this stage. 

 

Bilateral LOIs are ideal for this purpose.

 

We are seeing what someone like a Gill has started to do in ODIs as he plays more and more.

Arshdeep hasn't improved or perhaps has gone worse...  I think that no ball issue has shattered his confidence. 

 

Umran isn't getting any sort of backing...  Worrying signs.  I was hoping Hardik will give him the final over to perhaps blow away lower order. 

 

Mavi has been disappointing...  Boobie bhaiya seems to have invaded his body & he is bowling similarly.   UP pacers need to stay away from him.

Pretty sure Mavi is a waste of time. It will not get anything long term. Nothing special about it from what I see. He is not fast either.

 

Arshdeep is average to above average at best. We are looking for better.

 

 

 

Only use is for him to tell his grandkids that he played for India. I'm not even convinced he can replace a past it Umesh as the latter was genuinely express at one point.

Mavi's progression is unexplainable he was bowling 140+ and reaching 145s in his teens, but he is now 23 and hardly touching 135 kmph.

 

Why is he being picked??

Philander was not a fast bowler, so, he is not even counted. talk about fast bowlers. Philander was a seam bowler, not even a swing bowler.  his style worked well for South African pitches he was born and brought up bowling on all his life.

Umesh hit 150+ at that age. That's what im talking about. Selectors see someone from the Heartland who looks athletic, can bat and bowls - used to somewhat -quick they think they've got their Umesh  replacement.

Indian commentators are taunting his extra pace every time he comes to bowl these days. Sort of reflects the mindset in the Indian dressing room too. 

 

While you won't hear much when Arshdeep type pacers get hit. 

 

I am getting a feeling that Umran's talent will be wasted in Team India due to poor guidance and lack of backing.

Umran gets to bowl just 1 over. Yes, he was expensive in that over but so were our other so called pacers. 

 

Comes to bat after Arshdeep despite being a big hitter on his good days. 

 

 

 

 

1 four was a genuine misfield...  Others were just good shots. 

Even Ferguson got hit in his first over.l & was expensive in ODIs...  Someone tell these jokers that you gotta back your strike bowlers in T20 format. 

 

Arshdeep getting Phainty in final over served Pandu right.
