Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[raki05]

BCCI is pathetic organisation they dont focus on developing young fast bowlers how come so many fast bowlers lost in system …. Whether its Mayank, Karthik , Umran …. Well you may say injury but why bcci is jot setting up some kind of program or process to devlop fast bowlers. Why dont they put them in systematic process where they should compensate their ipl money till they overcome injury and able to bowl consistently quick like a test class bowlers and then they should be allowed to play any form of cricket. Right now bowlers are on their own, till the time they perform bcci will hype them and once they get injured they will leave them like haarey huey leaders ke chamchey.

First thing they have to develop is to give importance to pace ,pace and bounce

They need to understand Indian pace rs take time to settle,no one will be Steyn level genius in first few tests

So let them swim into the waters early,don't just abandon guys like Tyagi,Umran,Kuldeep,Mayank

Get the best possible exposure for them and strength -mental conditioning for them

It is still a surprising that we are competing or somehow floating despite loosing so many pacers in these 4-5 years, BCCI shouldn't think in the lines ,'India is a huge country we have so many guys ready'

No ,you won't get guys like Kuldeep,Umran,Tyagi,Mayank everyday

Harshit should be persisted with ,he's young by the time he is ready he will at best be 25-26+

Fast bowlers in India must be played early

Kamboj, seems to slow down during the last 3 steps of his bowling run up, when he has to speed up, push and make the extra effort. As if the traffic signal is going to red from orange. How the hell did he learn this technique? How come no bowling coach has noticed that? And why was everyone speaking highly of this guy, that too based on IPL performance. lolz... Bring back Mukesh Kumar

Kamboj dismisses the set Duckett with extra bounce.

 

This is what he must try instead of the  innocuous stuff that he tried earlier.

[express bowling]

Kamboj  123 kph

 

This is less than even Reddy and Shardul.

He's a floaty bowler. Won't get extra bounce regularly especially at that pace. 

 

This is where Harshit could have been good

He does get bounce despite all other issues.

How Kamboj was preferred over Harshit is a mystery !!

 

Probably CSK backing.

Doesn't hit the deck hard. 

[express bowling]

Looks like Kamboj is basically a 125 k to 135 k pacer.

 

Hovering around 126 k / 127 k after his first spell.

Guy like that has to be metronomically accurate. He strays into the pads too much.

What will happen to his pace after one injury ?

 

Will he bowl at Ganguly's pace ?

No bro, it was a fluke wicket. If it wasn’t a set batsman, he would have let it go. Duckett was in an attacking mood so he went after short  and wide ball. That was my observation

This one is on  GG and Agarkar(both of these guys used to talk like they know everything better than everyone else)

Gambhir,Morkel are making sure India's attack does hit below rock bottom

Pathetic speeds bro. From Shami, Umesh and Ishant who could bowl with effort all day to these kind of floaty trundlers 

[tweaker]

With Bumrah playing only 3 Test, Reddy,Akashdeep, Arshdeep  injured, and Prasidh and Shardul as other fast bowlers, why Gambhir added only Kamboj to the squad. 

 

He should have added Harshit to the squad. 

[singhvivek141]

Office timings are such that cant watch Eng test matches...

But all in all this test series has been extremely disappointing from fast bowling POV.

Prasidh hasnt shown any consistency, Akashdeep has shown promise but thats it, Siraj is..well..not sure what he is, Bumrah has no support and its visible now.

 

Kamboj, Thakur...not sure what else is left.

 

At this rate I am more in favour of guys like Vidwath Kaverappa, Eden Apple Tom, Yudhvir Singh, Gurnoor Brar who atleast has shown ability to bowl long spells in domestics.

Even Anil Kumble at this age can bowl his faster ones outraging Kamboj.
