Test cricket will be dead in 10yrs. I beg to differ. We are playing 5 genuine bowlers. 3 fast bowlers and 2 spinners. Thats the reason the Indians are doing well. express bowling and adi B 2 Link to comment

Let us not forget the first test when the 3 pacers were needed in the first innings ( 2 of them took 4 wickets each ) and then , in the 2nd innings, the spinners had to bowl a lot of overs.

vishalvirsingh Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 A 149k bowler bowling way outside off stump is like a big boxer who is happy just beeing in the ring and not fighting...and later a weaker boxer wins as he hits a few blows. 149k bowler bowling on stumps n on off stumps is Dead sure to succeed. I m not sure what west indies think tank is doing. Why is Gabriel bowling way outside off off stump. .. It's illogical. Rightarmfast and tweaker 2 Link to comment
vishalvirsingh Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Gabriel is a dangerous bowler not being utilised well Link to comment

No. Since vertical speed and horizontal speed are both derived from the overall velocity, one approaches a threshold where high vertical speed is possible only with high horizontal speed as well.

He was another trundler who had a weird bowling action but he bowled well in that series. Had a good outswinger. The only thing I remember Toronto and pak is ganguly being unplayable and India winning a ton of matches against pak.. Lol Link to comment

Lol I think we played Mohanty and Harvinder Singh in that series. Harvinder was an aggressive pacer with decent pace. Attempted a lot of bouncers. Link to comment

Here is the video of 1990, Ian bishop and Walsh bowling together, trying to bowl quick and rough up Robin Smith. You can see Walsh is far slower to Bishop who is probably bowling 145-150, while Walsh is around 135-140 at best. There is hardly anyway one can measure speed from looking at video's. Gabriel is looking pretty ordinary , but speed guns are showing his bowls in 140s to upto 150 .Yesterday Cummins bowled ayorker and Gavaskar said this perfect reply , "fast yorker" and when speed gun showed it was barely 126 Link to comment

He notched up speeds of 132 k to 142 k most of the times and that is very standard fast-medium pace. Richards, who again knows Gabriel well, had said before the series that he is very quick and can bowl 145 k +. And that has turned out to be right too. Just look at how some of Gabriel's deliveries are flying to the keeper and smacking their gloves. Link to comment

No swing....No consistency....No setting up the batsman.....No plan. 140-145 is not express...it's not like he is a 150+ bowler....infact 140 is perfect pace for these young Indian batsmen Link to comment

I have actually pointed it out several times that Gabriel needs to learn to move the ball more consistently. But he has consistency in terms of bowling in good areas and Richards has said that repeatedly. ) The debate was about whether Gabriel looks as quick as the speed gun shows him to be. He is bowling 140 k to 150 k by the way and not 140 k to 145 k. p.s - How many bowlers have bowled 150 k + in test matches with any consistency ? Maybe 3 or 4 pacers in the last 45 years for 2 or 3 years each. Edited August 1, 2016 by express bowling Mosher 1 Link to comment
