gakgupta Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I am a big fan of leg spin and Karn Sharma along with sheryas gopal are the ones to look-out for....Surprisingly both of them can bat a bit....Karn sharma is more suited for shorter format while Gopal for longer format. Esp in countries like australia leg spin will play a huge role ... hopefully Karn would make a debut before the mega event and seal his place for the world cup. Honestly, i dont see it coming ....
Marco Polo Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Can they actually turn the ball off the pitch? That's the first requirement as a leg spinner.
gakgupta Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 Can they actually turn the ball off the pitch? That's the first requirement as a leg spinner. LOL ...yes they do .... Can someone analyse the bowling actions and provide insight into that.... most important aspects i reckon should be zip and turn
Marco Polo Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 LOL ...yes they do .... Can someone analyse the bowling actions and provide insight into that.... most important aspects i reckon should be zip and turn I know for sure karn Sharma doesn't turn the ball . Not sure about shreyas gopal. But I have heard that he modeled his action after Anil kumble. So, its highly unlikely he turns as well. I'm not sure though. Those who watched him play in Ranjis must have a better insight on this.
Lord Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Chahal is good too.but sadly selectors dont think past Mishra and Chawla when it comes to leggies
undisputed chap Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 the aussie muirhead turns the ball square. We need someone who can actually turn the ball
saneindian Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Too early. Needs some more FC and A tour experience. The selectors do need to look beyond Mishra now though.
rkt.india Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 the aussie muirhead turns the ball square. We need someone who can actually turn the ball guys who turn the ball square are exceptions and no muirhead isnt one.
express bowling Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I really , really want a spinner who can turn the ball big on most surfaces. Preferably a wrist spinner. Karanveer is a big turner for sure. Kuldeep Yadav can turn the ball too. I have never seen Karn Sharma turn the ball much.
Gunner Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Karn doesn't have a smooth and classical action, looks muddled and forced. Watching Mishra and him bowl in tandem in the IPL, I've observed that he bowls quicker and doesn't turn the ball much compared to Mishra.

Not good enough for Tests yes

Not good enough for Tests yes From the younger lot, the only one I know who turns the ball big is Kuldeep Yadav. He was turning it miles in the u19 tournament in the UAE. What's your take on Karanveer's bowling? Haven't seen much of him.

What's your take on Karanveer's bowling? Haven't seen much of him. Karanveer is a classical leg spinner. Bowls slow in the air and gets big turn and zip off the deck. Has a decent googly too. Kuldeep was turning the ball a lot too. So was Goni in the u19 games. These 3 spinners have potential and should be groomed.

What's your take on Karanveer's bowling? Haven't seen much of him. He turns it big too but from whatever I've seen he lacks both variety and accuracy.Plus hes really short so not much chance of getting bounce

wanted_desi Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Good to see we have young spinners coming into the system. Last decent spinner we produced was 17 years ago. :P
express bowling Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Good to see we have young spinners coming into the system. Last decent spinner we produced was 17 years ago. :P For a country known for its spin culture, we seem to have lost interest in spin bowling. Are there any well known spin academies in our country ? Have we ever had a spin bowling coach for our team ? Most spinners being picked are either darters or need helpful pitches to turn the ball. They do not put in enough revolutions on the ball. "Understanding spin bowling " is not as good among our captains as it used to be, especially when it comes to tests. Hence, rank turners are needed. I would like to see this change. Hopefully, the new bunch will receive more understanding and support.
