Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[Rightarmfast]

I failed to see any use of bouncers or Yorkers. I might have missed, but I certainly didn't see.

Even Bumrah is to be blamed regarding this in innings 2. He bowled quite a few bumpers and a few yorkers in innings 1.

Body hitting bouncers were a must in this innings, when the pitch is doing nothing. Siraj needed to do that. Bumrah needed to use short pitch deliveries with Yorkers. But just not happening! Wonder what kind of tactics is this. 

[Rightarmfast]

Need to bowl short of a length bouncer.

A wicket at last.

 

Prasidh gets Crawley with an outswinger.

 

 

[express bowling]

Prasidh bowls Pope with a sharp in-seamer.

[express bowling]

Morkel needs to work with Prasidh regarding cutting down that one boundary ball every over.

 

What is Morkel doing anyway ?  Most pacers are regressing.

[Mosher]

Peach from Prasidh. 

[express bowling]

Prasidh  142 k jaffa !

 

Bounces and seams away beating the set Duckett.

Need a good modern Indian domestic coach like Nehra maybe. Not old school ones who will ask to focus on line and length.

[Forward Defence]

Siraj and Prasidh(intermittently) have bowled better in the second innings. Duckett and Crawley were great with their approach.

Agree strongly.

 

Nehra has transformed the average GT pacers.

[express bowling]

Bumrah falls down while bowling and hurts his shin or knee. Rubbing it.

 

That ball was at 144 k, last one at 142 k. But bowls 136 k, 138 k after that.

 

Hope he is not hurt.

 

 

[express bowling]

Bumrah bowling again and hits 143 k. 

 

So he is ok hopefully.

Rest of this over lacked any kind of zip.

 

Fingers crossed.

 

And Bumrah's spell ends early with only a few runs left.

[express bowling]

Akash 141 k

[express bowling]

Akashdeep  bowls his 1st over at 137 k to 141 k. 

 

4 balls above 140 k 

 

But no bounce or seam movement.

 

12 runs conceded. Looks a bit rusty.
