Half fit clearly
He bowls same pace even if fit. He still has been the most disciplined bowler, bowled in good areas, but never looked like picking up wickets.

Plus its a super patta.Even Shami's wickets have due to batsmen slogging. Not comparing,but Harris has been accurate but has been easily negotiated as well.Such is the nature of the pitch

But he will never be a threat at that pace in Australia. His deliveries were dying even in England but there he got swing and got a few edges that carried. Harris has been probing all through the series. Has beaten bat numerous times even today if you watched the game and also is averaging 25 in this series with an ER of less than 3.

I think the batsmen are immune to his venom in Australian conditions. :haha: Warning signs for us in the coming months.

There have been other trundlers like Shaun Pollock and Mohd Asif who have been world class in test cricket ... however they possessed metronome like precision and were slightly more pacier than Booby Bhai. I suggest he focuses on pitching it on a good line and length every delivery and also hit the gym and eat some kebabs to increase his pace.

and taller. Also, Pollock too was ordinary in Australia. Asif played a test in Aus?

Bhuvi's run up was also not like usual, so might be that hes really not match fit, which makes it a very bad selection. Even if he was, he wouldnt be bowling much quicker than 125k. That just wont work in Aussie conditions. You need guys who can swing the ball at pace. I thought Umesh had it going for him, but this test he didnt move the ball at all. And the lines, lets not talk about it. Shami wasnt much better either but guess he got lucky. See the difference in quality when the Aussie quicks got into their act.

way Harris treated him was bad. Bhuvi was bowling short pitched 110 kmph lollies hopefully this was due to his injury - needs to tighten up and put some more purpose in his bowling

Yes he did. Asif played 4 test matches in Australia and avgs 36 there. But as usual our parosi brother not telling the complete story.

Who selected bhuvi to play ahead of VARUN AROON in this test shud be crucified. it was embarrassing to see Bhuvi bowl 105k and between 105 to 120k and tailenders hitting him for 4 four's in the overs. he was hardly trying to get wickets ..he was trying to just restrict batsman by bowling at 7th wicket at a kid's pace... why was he played when he was not fit... was varun n ishant too unfit...???

DHoni once said that bhuvi is too Slow.. i thought Dhoni was reacting too badly against him but after today i completely agree. even in england last 2 tests he was bowling under 125k and he messed up with swinging conditions and even england batsman could handle him. i am hugely disappointed seeing bhuvi bowl today. also impressed seeing Shammi's bowling and was not too annoyed with yadav too. ashwin was superb.

After seeing bk's bowling today- i will bet if bhuvi gets even a single wicket in this TEST. BK not getting even a single wicket in this test will be a slap on all trundler supporters face.

Asif had one good test that too because that Sydney pitch has lot of grass, otherwise he was very ordinary in Australia same with Pollock he did well in one series when he had some pace when he was trundling he was hammered too.

The crazy thing is that the selectors have chosen 2 more trundlers Mohit and Kulkarni for the tri series. I still remember the kind of wickets Kulkarni got in the Sri-Lanka series. It was mainly due to their batsmen slogging away and throwing their wickets. And some commentators are applauding his performance in that series..:wall:

Bhuvi was selected for two things he can hold bat and Aaron was so inconsistent.Shami is also same case I think or is Kohli pushing his delhi team out.
None of Aaron, Umesh, Shami are consistent. But Aaron at least looked like picking up wickets even on flat Adelaide pitch in 2nd Aus innings.
