Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[express bowling]

In his 2nd spell. Eden was bowling 130 k to 140 k. 

 

Decent line and length.

 

Was trying to hit the deck. Tried some decent bumpers too.

 

As @Mosher bro said, he looks wiry and is probably not too tall.

 

 Not too exciting ATM but he is just 19.

To CT khel kyu nahi rha hai?

He has work load related injury, stress injury and not a fitness related one. Good fitness helps come back well after an injury.  If a bowler can bowl 150 overs in a test series taking most wickets, then certainly has good fitness levels. Fitness levels refers to bowling fitness and able to be effective.

Watched one over. Eden's build is like Nagarkoti. Thin wiry and not that tall. Skiddy pace with good outswingers.

That is not promising if he can not bat, apart frm injuries nagarkoti has that disadvantage that he was not that tall and if not bowling 145+kmph he was no special with no batting to support his case.

Nagarkoti still bowls 145. But he is too short though even Shami is almost same height.

1 ball @145 per season? He's 130sh bowler these days.

No. Last time he was clocked was consistently 140. You are talking about Mavi who is 130s.

Harshit rested. Varun C picked.

 

Shami half fit 

 

Nothing much to watch for pace lovers today.

Watch Rourke and Jamison

Would have been an ideal day for Harshit to showcase his hitting prowess. But not playing today

Jamieson bowling military medium stuff.

 

Even in his quickest years, he was brisk medium.

The Indian cricket fraternity love and promote a boring brand of cricket. Tuk tuk stats padding batters .. medium pacers .. darter spinners. 

 

Thankfully, most people who watch cricket  these days are not interested in the game of cricket but whether they are looking cool in their choice of players and matches they watch.

H Pandya has degraded massively in pace. He’s now a 120k bowler.
A bit slower than N Reddy but somewhat more effective on these slow pitches considering his control over his line/length and his willingness to bang the ball.
Although at that pace, the batters can just take him on if they want to. 

[MK55]

I have a question - What is M Shami these days?

5-9, 135k, 35 years, injury prone?

 

He has been terrific for a long time. But his time has come if he can’t maintain 140-147k

Pandya is smart enough to understand his body can't take the load of 10 over bowling.

Hence he is just doing bare minimum and only give his max duing big games.

He isn't 100% fit, just that it's IPL season and everyone want to play.

VARUN Charkrabarthy is the new Pacer in indian team - 113.5K clean bowls Mitchell santner who had hit 16 runs of Kuldeep's over..22 6's and a 4.

If he continues bowling 120s, it will be extremely difficult for him to be able to bowl 140 and thereabouts in a big game.
 

He used to do that earlier too but back then his speeds were at least 133-135k in low intensity matches with him touching 140-144 in the big games.

Is he ever going to be fit? Got a more than 1 year break to recover, played multiple matches to get into peak fitness.

He was prematurely called in tbh...plus his body can't take matches after matches at this age.

 

Needs to be rested and rotated.
