who?
I thought Varun was in this WC squad, but now realized he isn't. Cool. With Buvi he at least kept the runs down, the other bowlers can neither take enough wickets nor keep the runs down. They fail on bot counts. Bhuvi is atleast andhon me kanaa raja. Does one aspect properly.

So glad Bhuvi is fit. I think with Mohit Sharma' date=' [b']our attack has gotten better. He will surely pick wickets.
Not really. Ishant would have been good on these pitches and has a good record in Aus ODIs. Ishant statswise was the 2nd best pacer in ODIs in this team after Shami.

I don't trust Ishant much when we are defendng runs. If we need to save 25 runs in last two overs, I can trust Bhuvi to bowl penultimate over or Shami or even Mohit. Ishant loses it in this situation.

But being not able to take wickets hurts the team as much because batsmen always make up for those runs in the end and other bowlers have to face the assault because he barely bowls in later overs.

Bhuvi Shammi Umesh Binny Axar This should be the bowling attack
That's a long ass tail. Whatever the lineup, batting and bowling both look weak on paper. Need contributions from everyone as there are no real match winners except Kohli and Dhoni.

Anyway, Ishant wasnt one to bowl at death, but in middle overs like Finn did for England.

We need good line-length bowlers right now. I love pace but unfortunately our extreme pace sena has not reached that level where they can bowl well consistently. And on same note, Bhuvi might be a real slow medium.pace bowler, but he does put lot of pressure and bowlers from other end do benifit. I have called it before and will still say it - He will be our trump player.

Who takes wickets from those we have. let's have a look at that ... 11 wkts in 9 innings for varun (Pathetic), 49 in 39 innings for Umesh (Bad), 106 in 74 for Ishant (slightly better than only Umesh and varun). At least Bhuv keeps the runs down.

Bhuvi is still not that old in the team and uses more brain from what I see. I still thnk he is better than Ishant in any format and will prove it.

He was one of the best bowlers in Champions Trophy and in ODIs for India in general. His strike rate and average are quite good despite playing on batting paradises most of the time. He would have done well in Australian pitches with the extra pace and bounce provided he was not asked to bowl in death overs.

But that does not make any difference in the end because those runs are eventually made up by the batsmen. If you don't pick wickets, does not matter how economical you are. Ashwin and Jaddu were also economical i n NZ, but we still had to chase bid scorers because we could not pick wickets in middle overs and when you have wickets in hand, you can score anything in last 10-15 overs, no matter who the bowler is unless you have someone like Malinga. BK has not bowled much in end overs, so, other bowlers have to suffer. BK is averaging 56 since October 2013 in 27 ODIs. If you average 56, does not matter how economical you are, you are as bad as some like Umesh who is averaging 32 since his come back from injury but with ER around 6.
