Wasn't impressed with Nitish Reddy's bowling. He wasn't hitting the bat hard enough. 

He is still young and raw.

A batting allrounder who can clock 135-140 is good enough for the age of 21. Also, he just recovering from an injury so maybe going easy.

 

His batting seems like stronger suit than his bowling though.

Pitch had no pace to work with... Even Mayank said in interview that he was bowling well within himself.

Reddy did bowl in mid 135-138k range which is good enough if pitch has some bounce and zip.

His speeds are ok.

 

But even on the lively Duleep pitches, his ability to extract life out of pitches looked a bit iffy to me. 

 

He is a decent conventional swing bowler though.

It wasn't a serious injury. Only a finger injury.

He is not a hit the deck bowler. He is a batsman who can bowl. Has even opened the batting in age group cricket.

Which is why Nitish should not be treated as Hardik's replacement. 

 

I want Raj Bawa to be groomed for this purpose.

I was impressed by Arshdeep a lot. 
this is his format and he is better than many legends of game in it.

He is fixed in T20 cricket, the only format he is suited for.

Arshdeep post match said he has worked on his run up and some wrist work... Probably not looking to be floaty.  Hence speeds were up last night?

He was a good bowler.

[tapandrun]

Didnt watch complete match but there seems to be some changes in his action and approach to the crease.

Not sure if crossed 150 kmph but was sharp and may be not trying to push the speeds. 

 

But as a fast bowler you want to get into your top speeds as soon as possible after recovery as becomes hard to attain top speeds due to muscle memory.

Hopefully he gets into his top speeds asap.

LAF has some kind of advantage in T20s, LAF has become a proper wkt taking options in t20s.

Every team has one these days in t20s

close 150ks his top speed..he held back his pace and concentrated more on accuracy and not put too much strain on his body..we shouldnt forget he is very young and this is his debut match..butterflies in stomach are there..

he himslef admitted in his post match interview..

[Need4Speed]

Good thing is Umran needed 4 weeks of rest and already had 2 weeks of rest..

he is very hopeful he will play for India once he is fit and wants to win wcup for India..

He si very confident about his swing now..even yorkers and slow balls too..

Interviewer seems in a hurry, asking random questions from one topic to another. No consistency whatsoever.

Haha he is like that..hav ebeen consistently interviewing Moshin khan and Umran..

though recently they produced a video stating Aaquib Khan the UP guy is 145k bowler whereas he is a trundler :D

[tapandrun]

Its like umaran's 3/4 break due to injury or illness in last 5/6 months ....whats going on .....

He has been in NCA mostly and are injuries occuring in nca do not think there has been much cricket for this in last 6 months ..

He still bowled as fast as Brett Lee did on his debut at the age of 23.

Both Akthar and lee took sometime to crack that 155 kmph barrier , which mayank has already crossed. But at that time there was no t20s.

Not sayigng if there was t20 when they 1st made intnl debut they would have been clocking 160 kmph regularly 

 

Its just that he should not take much time to reach his peak speeds again else it get hard to reach original speeds. This is what shaheen said we a pushing but the speedometer is not showing those speeds, once the bowler looses that kind of natural speeds its hard to gain it again they can push as much as possible it just does not work.

 

Its common with SENA bowlers to increase their pace after some seasons of Intnl cricket as the body is still growing and they are getting strength. And they always tried to bowl as fast as they can.

 

Before bhumrah and shami Ind bowlers would push and bowl fast in their 1st intnl season and then they either got injured because they never had repetition at those speeds or they go back bowling sub 135 kmph to extend their careers
