Good post..we badly need bowler who can keep it tight Need to find right balance between erratic but wicket taker bowlers and guys like bhuvi who are steady ..
4 rpo is keeping it tight?

I won't judge bowler by 1 game but bhuvi does keep it tighter than others and I don't see many lose balls Can see him do well at home holding one end if needed and get wickets when it swings like he proved in England.

Bhuvi should think about moving to 7, and becoming a support bowler. I don't see him running through sides except in Eng and the old NZ pitches.

Guys I am appreciating bhuvi for his batting capabilities and reminding him that his bowling should not be neglected. He needs swinging conditions and he needs to Im prove in flat conditions. I wanna make it clear he has very strong defensive technique is the test all rounder we need.

Yadav is garbage and needs to be dropped. Bhuvi is 100 times better as bowler and batsman.
The right coaching should get Yadav back on track. Did really well after that stint with Sekar in DD. But sometimes you need to use common sense as well! The spearhead doesn't have one, why blame the juniors?

I'm talking about bowling in general not just 1 match in a pancake Down Under !!!!
All pitches were pancakes in this series. Problem is people saying he was unfit in the match is just an excuse. You cannot bowl so many overs with injury, especially, ankle. In fact, he is bowling in the nets since Gabba test.

RKT r u saying that BHuvi has declined and was fully fit in this TEST still bowled 106 to 125k ??? r u saying that the 130 to 140k Bhuvi with Swing.. the bhuvnesh that we all know has slowed down. in this test he bowled between 106k to 126k( a few 130k balls too). Probably at an average pace of 115k. EMBARASSING.

He bowled 120 odd in England test too. There swing made him effective. BK never bowled 130-140 in tests.

All our bowlers are incomplete and not good at all. They can succeed only when conditions are ideally suited to them. Shami needs reverse swing friendly conditions, Bhuvi needs conventional swing, Umesh needs a good day, Ashwin needs spinning pitches. Whenever the conditions are unfavourable to their style...they just fall apart. Bhuvi is no better and no worse than the others.

Manju said in commentary said that Bhuvi 's average(or top?) pace in 1st two Tests in England was 134 whereas it was 126 in Sydney. Either way its a big drop and can only means he was unfit

Test matches ---- Umesh, Bhuvi and Shami have all played 12 tests so far Wickets -- Shami 47 from 12 tests @ 3.92 per test. Umesh 43 from 12 tests @ 3. 60 per test. Bhuvi 29 from 12 tests @ 2.40 per test. Averages-- Shami 36.16 Umesh 36.90 Bhuvi. 35.00 Strike rates -- Shami 57 Umesh. 51 BK. 66 Shami is the best wicket taker and Bhuvi is the worst so far. Inspite of taking so few wickets Bhuvi has a marginally better average. Proves that he is the most economical. Umesh takes the fewest number of balls to take a wicket, only 51 which is good. Bhuvi takes the most number of deliveries..66 which is not good. All their averages are bad.

ODIs -- Shami, Umesh and Bhuvi have all played between 36 to 38 matches...very comparable. Wickets-- Shami 68 from 36 @ 1.9 per match. Umesh. 47 from 38 @ 1.23 per match. BK. 44 from 37 @ 1.19 per match. Averages --- Shami. 26.09 Umesh. 35.90 Bhuvi. 36.60 Strike rates -- Shami. 27 Umesh. 37 Bhuvi. 47 Economy rates -- Shami. 5.7 Umesh. 5.9 Bhuvi. 4.6 Shami has clearly been the standout ODI pacer. Superb at taking wickets. Up there with the best. Bhuvi has not been able to take wickets. He is not a wicket taker in either format. His economy has been superb. Umesh has been the worst of the 3 in ODIs.

^ Bhuvi has had only one full Test series away from home where he did pretty damn good. Why don't you post that as well? The bias!
How is that bias ? Did he divide odis that way ? Or did he highlight home performance ? He just posted stats without distinction between home and away ..

ODIs, I agree. Tests, really?

ODIs' date=' I agree. Tests, really?[/quote'] Yep that's unfair I think bhuvi has to be support bowler in certain conditions and main in certain cannot play him as one of 3 bowlers in Australia but can see him doing well in South Africa if pitches are good . I do not think he wanted to be biased he made a good post and you can add more details yourself . I feel calling him biased was little harsh specially agate rhe put in so much time in that post ..
