Vijy Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 You remember Ishant's first test. He was only bowling 130-135, never really went quicker than that. He played in Sydney, there too, he was bowling at around 135K only. Even at Perth he was mainly 135-138K range but he got seam off the deck. But after that spell to Ponting, suddenly got something into him and he bowled very quick at Adelaide, his quickest in that test was 147 and he kept getting better and in triseries, he clocked up to 152. His pace stayed up for about 1 year but as soon as he lost that rhythm he was in, he lost that pace. Well, he certainly bowled real fast during and immediately after that spell to Punter and co.
rkt.india Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 very bad place to hold the tournament at this time of the year. Team winning the toss always has an advantage weather it is a day match or a day-night match. Win toss, win match. Nehra's fastest was 149 in 2003 WC. That was the only time, Nehra bowled really quick.
rkt.india Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Stuart Binny has been clocked at 119-120 here while he is locked around 125-130 in international matches. Speed guns in domestic cricket mostly show lower speeds. doccricket 1
express bowling Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Interesting...Stuart Binny who clocks 125 k to 132 k these days in internationals is clocking 115 k to 120 k now.

Vijy Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 More than laziness...it could be the low temperature which makes the body stiff and numbShould have warmed up by now to some extent?
express bowling Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Should have warmed up by now to some extent?yes, to some extent...but maybe all pacers are afraid to bowl flat out lest injuries occur due to the cold weather. Edited January 25, 2016 by express bowling
rkt.india Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 It is likely to be the speed gun issue as rkt.india points out. However, methinks that some laziness is also involved.most bowlers dont bowl at their quickest in domestics because there is a lot of wear and tear. Fatigue sets in. At the end of a long season, bowlers do slow down. Because there are too many matches in a very short span of time with lot of travelling and very little rest. Lot of time bowlers bowl within themselves to conserve and not get injured. IPL coming too, so, they wont want to get injured. It happens everywhere, not just India. I have seen likes of Siddle and Bollinger bowling at 125K in their domestic matches.

express bowling Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I would have liked to see Ankit Rajpoot in one of the teams.The lad has picked up pace, has natural bounce due to his height and was bowling reasonably accurately in the SMA trophy. doccricket 1
rkt.india Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Did you watch Negi bowl today ? Is a good enough to be a proper bowler in ODIs ?didnt watch much of him. I have seen him in IPL. He isnt a bad bowler but every left arm spinner needs some help from the pitch like Jaddu but Jaddu is one dimensional bowler who only bowls quick through the air. Negi can slow down and can bowl quicker when needed. has better action.

Got 3 wickets too.If this guy can become our bowling allrounder, we will have a more powerful lower-middle order in LOIs.

I think Negi can fit into that spinning AR role much better than Jaddu. express bowling 1

express bowling Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 @ MosherWhat was Nathu's fastest ball today ?Did he bowl a few above 137 k ?Did he bowl some good bouncers ?
Mosher Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 @ MosherWhat was Nathu's fastest ball today ?Did he bowl a few above 137 k ?Did he bowl some good bouncers ? I started watching the match when Nathu had already bowled 3 overs. So don't know what pace he bowled in his first 3 overs. But he bowled a few over 137K in his 4th over. He bowled a few good bouncers to Rayudu. One of them was a nasty bouncer which Rayudu didn't have a clue. express bowling 1
