Harshit will never become and out and out pace bowler.

His pace varies a lot...134-135 and then suddenly one at 143-144.

 

Teams like Oman, UAE etc can easily be scared by a quick pacer...Tyagi, Umran, Mayank any one of them had played with full fitness would have been handful here.

[MK55]

I’m curious. Do we not have strict diet guidelines, at the very least for fast bowlers playing with national contracts?

i saw two bouncers in his last over which batsmen was not able to touch. one bouncer was at 140k and one at 128k- realised that oman batsman could not touch them where as a dubey bouncer was touched for a 4 behind the keeper.

139.6k bouncer was so fast n dangerous that batsmen failed to touch it- was very impressed with few balls bowled by Harshit.

he looks a good TEST bowler.

[MK55]

Bumrah seems to have slowed down. Not a single 90 mph ball in 2 matches?

Hes bowling 137-138 with 141k quicker ones.

Vs Sri Lanka,  Harshit  was consistently in the 143 k to 147 k range when he tried faster balls. 

 

But bowled too many slower balls and too few yorkers and got hit.

 

It's a shame that someone who was bowling big inswingers at around 145 k and bowled a vicious bumper to hit the helmet, felt more comfortable bowling more slower balls than faster balls on a true pitch which was not gripping.

Vs Bangladesh, Bumrah was swinging the ball both ways at 139 k to 145 k.

 

Bowled really well.

[express bowling]

Harshit Rana bowled the fastest ball of the tournament for India.

 

Clocked  148.8 kph vs SL. Saw one at 147.0 kph too.

Ideally Selectors should have tried Rana,Khaleel ,Yash Thakur in this series as they have been selected for India A

They're gonna waste best years of Harshit by making him warm bench and play him intermittently in T20s.

 

Let him rip in Tests and bowl a lot of overs. Bumrah will be 32 soon, may pick and choose the games based on his fitness...Siraj too will hit 32 few months after, dont think he will be able to sustain the workload of Tests.

 

Gurnoor, Prasidh, Harshit, Akashdeep should become the next in line pacers for Tests. We also lost Shami, cant afford to lose Bumrah/Siraj as well before waking up to the realitym

[express bowling]

Gurnoor 140.9 k in his 2nd over.

@Mosher 

 

Bro, you have not posted in a long time. Hope everything is ok.

[express bowling]

@Suhaan

 

Your " favourite " commentator, Chetan Sharma, tearing into Gurnoor Brar for conceding a single boundary.  

 

Saying atleast 10 times  " Trying to bowl too fast ". 

 

I am sure Malhotra will outdo him.

@express bowling
Gurnoor has pace, but during his action load it seems he almost slows down to an extent of a halt. Could this be affecting his potential to bowl even quicker ?

[express bowling]

Gurnoor hitting 139 k / 140 k regularly.

 

There is some swing too. 

 

Saw a good indipping bumper.

This aspect was even more pronounced earlier. He has improved it somewhat. 

 

I hope the coaches work on this aspect more.

[express bowling]

Gurnoor  140.4 k accurate yorker.

[express bowling]

Gurnoor 139 k accurate channel ball that keeps on rising to the keeper.and he can't collect properly due to pace and bounce.

[express bowling]

Gurnoor  141.5 k channel ball.
