Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[MK55]

Also love the fact that bowling speeds r shown almost instantaneously when the ball is delivered. Unlike Indian broadcasters who seem to focus more on some hideous looking banner and useless non real time stats.

Medium pace Boland is definitely the weak link. He ain’t an opening bowler. Hazelwood’s absence will be felt.

My man Starc picks Duckett

Pace is the most marketable thing if not more than boundaries, recognised world over 

Only our dihati ballebaaji mentality chewt cricket ecosystem doesn't want to accept it

Definitely more marketable than a boundary. It’s art, fitness, skill, timing in perfect rhythm.

Starc has insane bowling fitness n a very repeatable rhythmic action for pace. And Lee had insane talent n obsession n the personality for raw pace.

[MK55]

Starc has bowled every single ball in his 6 overs above 140k. We don’t have a single bowler young or old who can do anything close.

Exactly !

 

For decades, a majority of the people in charge of sports or in charge of marketing sports in India lack any kind of foresight, positivity or aggressive mindset. 

 

Young Indians are fitness freaks. They love gyming, power, positivity. But cricket has to be marketed to please people who are 70+ or below 18.

It's good if they focus on the long format though. 

 

Currently, in India, unless you play the IPL, you won't be able to play football or hockey for India, let alone test cricket.

Thanks bro !

[express bowling]

Starc 7 for 58

 

Very happy that a 140 k+ pacer is doing well.

 

And great to see a 35 year old bowl 140 to 145 k consistently.

pace with bounce is another level.. we tend to get skiddy pacers

Just listen to our domestic cricket commentary.

 

Unless he is a finished product, every 140 k+ pacer gets a lot of hate and criticism. 

 

While a below 130 k pacer is rarely criticized even if he goes wicketless or is very expensive.

 

With this mindset, we are lucky that we have pacers who can bowl 4 deliveries at 140 k+ in an over.

We have started to get bouncy 140k+ pacers too in the last few years.  Harshit, Mayank, Prasidh, Gurnoor, Tyagi, Sen.
