Praveen Kumar

[Predator_05]

Any impressions ? What do you guys think of his bowling ?

[varun]

Intelligent utility bowler. Definitely would use him in ODI's more often (even without looking at his batting)

[Dhondy]

Rubbish line and length bowler. Drops his right shoulder at the point of delivery, thus losing height. Can move the ball a bit, but at that pace, even minor errors in line and length will be punished severely. I give him less than 10 ODIs.

[Gambit]

Great intelligent bowling at the death from him.

[The Outsider]

Useless trundler in the category of Sodhi, Yadav, Joginder as it stands. If he can up his pace by 10 kmph and keep the movement, he has a future.

[Chaos]

stupid comments just bowled once in international arena. Pathetic.

[kablooee87]

whoops wrong topic.

[Predator_05]

Yep - another Sodhi or Yadav. Only saw 3 overs of his bowling, but he looks very limited in what he does. How did he miss that run out on the last ball ?

[gator]

his bowling is like sohail tanveer, which is not speakingg much abt him, but speaks a lot of pakistan's pace bowling reserves.... 132kph, but moves the ball both ways.... will persist with him, if he shows he can score a 30/40 at 130 SR on a consistent basis....

Praveen kumar goes for 5 runs an over when the Pak scored 306, that says a lot. Cant understand this stupid obsession with pace and anway, he is quick enough , in the early to mid 130s He swung the ball MILES with the new ball.

[Rajiv]

I found him OK, but he needs more pace to trouble batsmen.

[Dhondy]

What about the fact that the ugly git never looked like taking a wicket, eh?

[Ram]

He was bit unlucky with his opening spell, beat Salman's Butt bat many times. Some other day, he could have easily taken 2-3 wickets. Fact of the matter is , he is a young bowler making his debut and he looked ok. We need to give more time to express himself better. Remember what happened to Balaji in his debut ? spanked for 40 runs off overs by Gayle ? And didnt he then prove to be real good bowler for India ?

[kablooee87]

He has the one ingredient which I believe is essential for a stand-out international bowler: He can swing the ball both ways. Whether he has the other skills to become that is arguable, but swinging it both ways is usually a very good sign.

Is it now :cantstop:

[Sachinism]

decent bowler, looks like he knows where to bowl the ball, done well at the death, but doesnt have that sting, he never looked like he was gonna get a batsman out, i guess he lacks a bit of pace. maybe in conditions where there was a bit more swing, he could do more damage

[The Outsider]

He has failure written all over him unless he cranks up his pace. Troubling useless Pakistani openers with a bit of movement is one thing, bowling to Hayden and Gilchrist is something completely different.

[The Outsider]

They just showed a close up of his bowling action along with Sreesanth and Rao. The amount he falls over while delivering the ball is amazing.
