Is bhuvi an effective bowler in test matches?

Don't give much importance to his 4 wickets. Even Pk picked 4 wickets against England last time we toured. Bk got couple of lucky wickets. He needs to add couple of yards pace.
Couple of lucky wickets? Bowling someone out, a plumb LBW and getting an obvious edge (Stokes) is considered as lucky now? PK bowled at much helpful surface than this.

There's no great mystery, the issue with Yadav, Bhuvi, Shami etc is the same. These guys have to get more experience and get better. The best way to do that is if they stay fit and work hard on their respective skills. From working the angles (close/wide of the stumps, over/around the wicket), getting better seam position consistently, and getting an extra yard of pace as they mature and getter fitter. All these things happen when young bowlers apply themselves, their workloads are managed and they are committed themselves. In the past we didn't have that. Guys like RP Singh, Patel, Sreesanth, Pathan etc lose form, get injured, don't work hard enough on their abilities and fitness and never take the next step. Thankfully, Shami/Bhuvi/Yadav/Pandey/Pankaj don't seem like the type who chase after celebrity status and seem to be good, level headed cricketers, so we'll see how they pan out.

Took 2 wickets with old ball
Bhuvi has bowled really well after lunch yesterday. His line and length is always good. The ball was swinging for all the seamers. He was successful. Now, he has to be more consistent in his wicket taking performances. That is the issue with most Indian seamers. Problem is, the ball does not swing in most places or under most conditions. That has has resulted in Bhuvi not being a wicket taker even in ODIs. And he has played quite a few. Also, pace of atleast around 130 k is needed. 125 k is not ideal. He has to increase his repertoire. One good thing is , BK is a quick learner and honest trier and might do it.

That's what I like about Bhuvi. He seems to be willing to learn and seems to have the hunger to do well unlike some of the lazy knuckleheads who played for India before and actually had more going for them in terms of ability but just frittered away.

Why don't you stop watching test cricket and go and watch a net session with speed gun set at 150kph, more your cup of tea.

I bet it will be more interesting to watch and encourage youngsters to take up fast bowling.

Dude you are fooling no one. Even the worst trolls have a bit of subtlety which you lack. Pull your socks up or search for other gullible forums
