Question marks over Umesh Yadav


Recommended Posts

Posted

The problem with umesh is that he doesn't have control over his release, I think he holds the ball too tight and that is why he is not able to land the ball consistently in the right spots and bowling way too short, the grip has to be loosened a bit .needs to practice regularly and pitch at least 60% of the balls in the good length area in the nets,bowling coach has to help but these things come from ur inside and only umesh can correct umesh!!

But he's already 27. Also checked his domestic record, has an average of nearly 32, that's poor.
That FC record includes test matches too. His FC average was 25 when made his debut. Also, tell me the FC average of Hazlewood and Starc.

Umesh has had 2 bad tests after a long layoff from tests he will get better.we have play these guys only way to build an attack.we have given batsman 20-30 tests ishant 60 odd tests.these guys will be far better.

You give the guy one series, then throw him out for next 2 yrs then bring him back for odis then question his test effort. So much pressure on these bowlers both umesh and aaron deserve a longer run like ishant got.

Lol no his test match avg. is a pathetic 37' date=' first class excluding test match is 32.[/quote'] Lol yes. Those first class matches include test match records too which has skewed his average. His FC average when he debuted for India was 25 despite bowling on pattas at Nagpur. He wasnt good in FC after coming back from injury though but his Ranji trophy will still be around 27-28. Still this FC average thing is overrated. We should have been playing Joginder Sharma with that logic. I had asked you about FC average of Hazlewood and Starc, but you didn't reply. Their FC average is 30, 31, respectively, but both bowled well.

His pace is also down. He's more fast-medium now than fast.
He was faster than MJ at Gabba. It is all down to confidence. when he sprays the ball, he tries to bowl slow to get more accuracy but it doesn't happen even then because his ibaccuracy is not because he bowls fast, more to do with his shape on the crease. Same with Shami. Like batsmen when playing their shots, bowlers also need to maintain right shape while bowling.

Indians need to understand that to be successful in tests' date=' you need rely on doing basics right and experimentation is only a desperate measure.[/quote'] I think it has a lot to do with bowlers not being confident about retaining their place. Yadav was dropped for 2 years? after last Aus tour. One can get desperate. Hopefully they are treated well under this new leadership.

We must stick with these guys and find a way to mould them into quality test bowlers. That is based on the fact that accuracy can be achieved thru practice but speed cannot be and you need both to be successful at intl level. Getting a good bowling coach will be key to taking these bowlers to next level.

As for as i think it's not umesh's fault, dhoni and kohli are equaly responsible for this pathetic bowling display throughout the series, same thing is pointed by great Oz captain Ian Chappell www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/819157.html
Dhoni forced varun and umesh to try bouncers and leg side bowling to steve johnson n others. I beleive it's the bowling strategy which has failed..Indian bowlers were trying for lbw n wanted to bounce every ball at one time ..I guess idea was to scare the batsman n it misfired. Blame the folks who decided this strategy. Why were they not asked to bowl at 4th n 5th stump All the time.
