Speed of Indian fast bowlers in world cup comparing others


Recommended Posts

Yadav was bowling beautifully throughout this WC between 140 to 147 k. Today he was almost always between 146 to 149 k ... and sprayed the ball . Was it really necessary in such a crucial match ? He should have stuck to what was working for him. Shami, on the other hand , was much slower than usual and looked innocuous after his first 2 overs. He too should have stuck to the 140 to 145 k speed that was working for him in the past matches. One pacer tried to bowl quicker and the other tried to bowl slower than what was working for them....and both bowled sub par.

Yadav just bowled one bad over to Smith where he kept persisting with the back of the length ball. Wasn't straying in line like he does when he's out of rhythm. Just bad temperament there...Back of the length balls worked against other teams but against Smith and on such a slow wicket there should have been a change in game plan. Don't think his increase in pace has got anything to do with it.

Brainless has more than wickets than effective in the WC. He has more wickets means he was effective too. They just didnt read the wicket today. Bowled too many short ones on a slow pitch. Same strategy gave them lots of wickets. Also' date=' poor captaincy too. Yadav should not have bowled 5th over. You are making batsmen used to one bowler. He tried to be attacking but pitch isn't suited to that kind of bowling.[/quote'] Yes, Umesh didn't spray but misjudged the length to bowl on this slow pitch.

If you are bowling short then the ball should be high at near the head....that is a bouncer should be tried. I am not sure Yadav was going for bouncers...he just lost control of his length. He bowled many wide deliveries today too. Even before his last over ...he erred in line and/or length on many occasions. Gave 23 runs in 4 overs even though the Aussies were not that aggressive.

He got accustomed to bowling that short of the length ball. Should have tried some bouncers. Surprisingly none of our bowlers have bowled bouncers. I don't think he bowled more wides than what he does usually. And against Warner, you are always going to go for runs. It was Warner who took majority of strike against him. Got him out with almost the same ball that wen for a six.

He was trying bouncers, but the pitch isnt conducive. It pretty much looks like Chepauk pitch with less turn. They didnt read it well and Yadav didnt bowl a single wide ball today. Shami bowled 2. Yadav was very accurate whenever he bowled length. He just bowled too many short balls on a slow and low bounce pitch. Was trying to attack as this is the same way they were getting wickets throughout the WC but this was the different pitch they have played till now. They need to look for reverse now.

I dont think a slow pitch makes our chances better. A turning pitch yes, but it was never going to be a turning track. A slowish pitch with low bounce would take our bowlers out of the equation.

But , my point was that ..... if our bowling unit missed the point that this pitch is a slower one although this aspect was widely expected by the cricketing fraternity, then it is very strange.

You cant bowl same way n every pitch.

So' date=' what do we make of Ummi's figures? Took wickets and leaked runs.[/quote'] He tried to take wickets, attacking bowling which went for runs too bu also yield him wickets too and this pitch seems very much like Chepauk track with less turn for spinners.

Well bowled umesh ,tried to bowl the bouncer too many times which resulted in him spraying down the leg and conceded some easy fours, but easily our best bowler today. His speed was up and I thought he bowled at 150.2 k when he bowled Faulkner,didn't he?
