No he was the best bowler in cb series in 2008.his problem has been technical.
I said gradually not instantaneously. I remember discussing with my friends if he keeps playing. ODIs he will lose it pretty soon.

Not because of ODIs. H e started losing it when he started concentrating on too many variyaions rather his strength which was pace and bounce then. In that attempt, he lost his natural action and then wrist-seam and pace.

I hope Ishant will complete 300 wickets before his 90th Test 33 Tests - 126 wickets... I think its possible. after a long time Ishant's Test wickets tally is more than 3 times to his Test matches played Steyn level genius will have it close to 5 times great bowlers like akram will have 4 times but good bowlers need to bring it to 3.5 times+

He was barely a finished product. He was a bit like M Vijay who could not switch between formats seamlessly.

when he started it was raw pace and isnwing.which he lost.If u remember the line he used to bowl it was hardest for any right hander be it kallis,ponitng,jaya on docile pitches the ball used to swing in from outside off and one ball used to hold its line.Thats what should be .

He was bowling very wide in that test. Almost all balls would have been called wides in ODIs. It was frustrating to watch. Out of the blue he started bowling in swingers. Bagged a fifer. Gradually he lost it.

You do not get finished product straight away. No one. It happens gradually but getting other things in your armery does not mean you lose your originality which happened with him.

Inswinger was always his strength in his younger days. It was nerves that lead to that wide bowling in that test but as soon as he got it wright, he troubled batsmen. He lost it when he tried to get outswinger going which changed his wrist position and resulted in scrambled seam.

Venky did not do a bad job as the bowling coach.. its just that Eric Simmons further damaged Ishant
Actually simmons got his pace back but his wrist was still not right.He has to his wrist position and action to 2008 type.

Glad he has it sorted. Deep down ishant knows his previous failures warranted criticism, just as how his recent successes deserve praise. Give it your all, take wickets and if its tough, hold one end. Just use your brain. Glad dhoni tried something different.

anyone remember ishant's previous bowling action? Lets say from pak series 2012 to nz series 2014.. he'd run in hopping and scared, and then at the crease just bang it in short and wide and get hammered. Now there is RHYTHM and CONSISTENCY.

Typical Indian culture to blame others for your shortcomings. We and only we are responsible for our mistakes, no point in shifting the blame.

If not for Dhoni he would be in dumps of Ranji league and for all the people singing his praise now should realize that no Indian bowler was ever given such an extended run.

you need to pick 4 wickets average in 4 man attack to be useful
