Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[Adamant]

Mark Wood is a mediocre bowler, a true pace bowling fan will never enjoy watching him bowl. Anyone who thinks that Wood is a good bowler doesn't understand fast bowling and just likes to look at the speedometer.

 

Mark Wood is basically a bowling machine which will hurl the ball at you at 150, gun barrel straight. There is no art in his bowling, no finesse and no junoon and unlike the bowling machine this guy can't even maintain a consistent line.

 

Its very easy to recognise if a person understands fast bowling or not, ask his opinion about Wood and if he praises him then be sure that this guy knows nothing.

 

A thoroughly mediocre, run of the mill, wayward bowler. I change the channel when he bowls, his bowling is that ugly. 

 

As expected though, the fans on ICT (who are pace starved) will orgasm at every 150 kph ball he throws.

Yes, Wood is an average bowler.  He isn't in the league of Brett Lee and Shoaib Akhtar as a wicket taker.

comprehension problems?

Where did anyone praise his bowling average,SR?

He has maintained pace at this age which is commendable,it's a different parameter

Yaar tumhe itni baat samajh nahi aati

Tait was also a average bowler,but he's only talked about pace not his bowling average or quality

Tait wasn't an average bowler.  He was a top 3 wicket taker in 2007 WC. Tait had wicket taking ability in LOIs. Has low average in ODIs. His problem was injuries.

Tait only played 30+ Odis ,that's way too small sample

He wasn't offering anything more than what Lee,Johnson were offering

The kind of swing Rohit faced was common in the first 10 overs till 2010.. Nowadays batsmen struggling to handle it even if it lasts only for 1 or 2 overs.

[Lord]

Some high quality stuff from Wood

30 might be low for batsmen but enough for a fast bowler to show what he has.  Very few starts doing well from the get go. He did.

Harshit  2nd over

 

145.9 k

145.4 k

143.0 k

142.4 k

Harshit bowls captain Butler with first ball of his comeback spell.

 

Next ball climbs steeply from length. 

[express bowling]

Harshit 142.3 k seams away with bounce.

[express bowling]

Harshit needs to be used as a mid over enforcer + a death bowler for the time being.

 

Open with Arshdeep and Hardik.

 

Use Harshit + spinners in the middle.

 

Use Harshit and Arshdeep at the end.

 

Shami looks less than fully fit. Rest him in CC.

Harshit 145.3 k seams away. Jaffa !

[Forward Defence]

This is a great spell by Harshit. Hurrying batsmen with extra zip off the wicket.

[express bowling]

Harshit bowls Brook with a 144.2 k ball.

 

Beaten for pace and played on. 

 

Again a strong comeback.

Harshit Fastest ....  in his 2nd spell of 3 overs 

 

146.4 

145.3

144.2

Loving Rama's bursts in Middle overs.   I am convinced he will work wonderfully in Dubai.

Harshit slogged pacers well at the end too.

Missing all the action due to office commitments.

Will try to catchup highlights.

 

I really feel for Mayank now...should have been here as well if fit. Hope Harshit's performance motivates him.
