Deodhar Trophy

Jadhav 50

Nathu Singh bowled 2 vicious short balls . One was at 140 k and the other at 136 k.  Looked a lot quicker than that.

[tweaker]

NathuSingh last bowl at 140 kmph

He is certainly a good learner,does not repeat his mistakes

[Mosher]

It was good thinking by Nathu to bowl short to Jadhav but he should mix it up. Jadhav was expecting the short ball and was hanging back and smashing it.

India A 286/7,

Faizal 100,Jadhav 58,Vijay 69.

Shreyas Iyer has good chance to impress selectors with a big 100

[Lannister]

Jadhav seems a good prospect to be tried at 5th in ODIs. Need to rope him in inplace of Rahane.

Nathu bowls last over at  140 k, 138.5 k, 137 k, 136 k, 135 k and slower ball. ( not in order ).

Swung the ball both ways but primarily inswing.

Bowled a good bouncer and a slower ball.

Only length ball got hit for a 4, although it swung in.

The others were yorkers and low full tosses.

Nathu still has a long way to go. I would have been ecstatic if he had bowled pace in range of 140-145. He still can gain pace but with the kind of action he has, he might or might not gain a lot of pace. He needs to play at least 2 FC season before making any judgement on him for Indian team.

[rkt.india]

couldnt get his yorkers right at the end.

[rkt.india]

Not many Indian bowlers have the bowling action that is ideal for pace. Ankit Rajpoot has that round arm action which likes of Akhtar and Brett Lee had, but he has a shortish runup. Avesh has that type of action to but not refined.

Nathu Singh's  normal speed range here was 133 k to 141 k, which is not that bad for his age.

One thing noticeable about him is that he hits the deck hard and gets results...his bounce and zip off the pitch is quite good. Hurries batsmen often and sometimes makes them jump. This ability is a big plus.

He has a stock delivery too...does not bowl a different type of ball every time. This is quite noticeable in his first spell.

Attempts yorkers all the time and often succeeds, tries the slower delivery too. Has a good bouncer.

He does not look like a brainless spray-gun and when he gets hit, it is often trying to do something correct and not succeeding rather than mindless bowling.

I like these above qualities.

Nathu may not become a 150 k + bowler but 137 k to 147 k regularly seems possible with his action.

Avesh's run-up and arm rotation speed does not look ideal for very quick 150 k + bowling.

Avesh generates pace with his shoulder bowler, not arm speed. but he still  has an action where he can put a lot of power behind the ball. He might not bowl 90 mph plus in future, but ingredients are there.

[Ankit_sharma03]

This is a lil depressing our batsman struggling against trundlers moving the ball

Imagine these future batsman against bowler who bowl 135k above in tough conditions

He may bowl 138 k to 148 k range when mature and if he improves his pace.  Would be surprised if he bowls quicker than that.

He uses a lot of shoulder and hence the consistent bounce...but just that won't get him to 145 k +.

His last inning for India was 100 against Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe, but inspite of loosing everywhere he is not able to find a place in the squad

He is Pattinson type of bowler who puts a lot of shoulder effort.

Exactly. But Pattinson has a faster and smoother run-up where he is able to transfer the momentum.  Avesh needs to improve this. Another issue that even Pattinson faces is up and down pace even within a spell...same as Avesh.

We actually need a couple of such bowlers with shoulder dependent action...to hit the deck hard and get bounce.
