express bowling Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Umesh picks up Tharanga with a 140 k well directed off-stump ball that bounced a bit extra. Why does he not bowl this line more often ? He has bowled a better line so far in the 2nd innings. Edited August 13, 2017 by express bowling Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment

express bowling Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) 144 k off-stump ball by Shami, seamed a bit, gets the batter caught behind. Perfect set-up, perfect bowling. Edited August 14, 2017 by express bowling Rightarmfast and Mosher 2 Link to comment
express bowling Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) 146 k sizzling bouncer from Shami to the new batter. Saha collects it way over his head thudding into the gloves. Very well directed too. Edited August 14, 2017 by express bowling Ironhide, vishalvirsingh, Mosher and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Pace, perfect seam position, moving it both ways with wonderful control. What a bowler! I have never seen such a complete fast bowler from India like Shami Ability to set up batsmen, genuine pace, excellent accuracy, great seam position, good bounce, great bouncers, seam movement both ways, swing, reverse swing, late-dipping yorkers, making the batsmen play a lot .... what a range of skills ! If only he can stay fit ! Mosher and Rightarmfast 2 Link to comment
express bowling Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Shami picks up Mendis with a 142 k inswinger by going slightly wide off-the crease. Again, a slight variation to fool the batter .... he is thinking out the batsmen. Edited August 14, 2017 by express bowling Mosher and Rightarmfast 2 Link to comment

He is priceless for India in tests. express bowling 1 Link to comment

express bowling Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Umesh has bowled a good line in the 2nd innings. Length has been mostly good but at times a bit too full. Very few surprise bouncer... this is helping the batsmen camp on the front foot and counter the movement. Has hit the deck hard and got good carry. Overall, good spells but can improve.

express bowling Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Umesh has the ability to bowl those faster balls at 144 k to 148 k .... while bowling 138 k to 142 k .... and take wickets with some of those quicker balls as the batsman is surprised. He used to bowl those really quick balls in almost ever innings. Starting from the CT in July '17 , we are seeing that he is not bowling those 144 k to 148 k balls in many innings. In some innings we are seeing those quick balls but in many innings, he is not going above 143 k. Is it because he is overworked ? It is a good thing that he is rested for the ODIs.... he should have been rested in WI only. Edited August 14, 2017 by express bowling Rightarmfast and Mosher 2 Link to comment
express bowling Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Good bouncer from Umesh at last. Ball is top edged, could have been an easy catch if a deep-square-leg were there. Batsman cramped and hurried. Mosher 1 Link to comment

I think he should be not be selected for ODI's. He should play in test matches only from now on. express bowling 1 Link to comment
