If these same bowlers Aaron, Umesh, Shami were playing their cricket in Australia, they would have become far better bowlers than they are now. They certainly need to play a full season in Australia even if in grade cricket or England county cricket even if 2nd eleven if the counties to learn how to bowl overseas.

Sandhu's a first-class talent: Waugh Selector says new ODI squad member can also be a star in longer forms of the game National Selection Panel member Mark Waugh believes Sydney Thunder paceman Gurinder Sandhu has a promising future in all formats of the game, but needs to be playing first-class cricket. Sandhu, a western Sydney product, has played 12 Bupa Sheffield Shield games for the Blues, collecting 41 wickets at 27, but he is yet to nail down a starting XI spot, with the squad also boasting fast-bowling talents Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Sean Abbott and Doug Bollinger. On the Saturday, the 21-year-old earned a call-up to Australia’s ODI squad for the Carlton Mid Tri Series against England and India, beginning this Friday with Australia v England at the SCG. But Waugh said he’d like to see the tall right-armer getting more opportunities in the longer format as well. “The problem is at the moment that he hasn’t been playing Shield cricket, which is a shame,” he said on TEN’s coverage of the KFC T20 Big Bash League, in which Sandhu has been a star performer for the Thunder. “Because New South Wales have got such a strong bowling attack, he hasn’t fitted in there. “So he really should be playing first-class cricket – I think he’s good enough to be playing four-day cricket, five-day cricket as well. “He’s improving every year. “He’s only 21, but gee he’s a big boy. He’s strengthened up, and I reckon he’s put on two or three kilometres (with his bowling) – if he can get up to 140kph, another 4-5ks onto what he’s got, he’s going to be really dangerous. “He’s a smart bowler, too. “He thinks really well, he thinks about what ball he’s going to bowl. He’s got good variety, (and) he’s a big improver.” Sandhu’s call-up to Australia’s 50-over squad comes after he has taken a team-high eight wickets at an average of 17 and an economy rate of 6.95 for the Thunder in BBL|04. He also shone for the Blues in the 2014 Matador Cup, finishing as the competition’s leading wicket-taker with 15 at 25.73.

Nice. Gurinder from Australia vs mahendra n ravindra from India.

Sandhu is more of a containment bowler. Bowls a lot of variation and has a good slower ball. Could be handy in odis

best of luck to him

They can play grade cricket if not shield. Full season of county cricket will help too.

Looks nothing special by Aussie standards. Will be first name on team sheet if starts playing for India.

First saw him in u19 World Cup, but i felt Indian and Pakistani quicks in the same tournament were miles better especially Sandeep Sharma who was brilliant. But always good to see someone from u19 category progressing Our big letdown has been Chand.

[PBN]

Built well though looks like he bowls with a sluggish action which hampers pace thus, seems to bowling around 130 to low 130s. Aussies have so many faster bowlers to choose from that surprising he got a call. Anyways, good for him.

Is it coaching then' date=' rkt?[/quote'] Lack fast bowling DNA in our system. Even if they bowl quick, understanding of bowling isnt there. Hurling the ball isnt bowling. Even in the nets, bowlers bowl because batsmen has to practice.
