India Test skipper Virat Kohli, on Friday, reserved special praise for medium pacer Mohammed Shami, terming him a very important bowler for the team, saying 'he makes it count every time he comes on the field'.

 

Praising Mohammed Shami’s performance on returning to the team, following a long injury layoff, Kohli said the Bengal pacer was a very important cog in the Indian bowling attack.

 

"Shami has come on well. He's worked very hard on his fitness as well. In the five-six overs(spell) he runs in, gets bit of momentum. He can take wickets on any wicket. That's the sort of skills he has. He is a strike bowler and whenever he comes on to bowl he makes something happen,” Kohli said.

"As a captain, I feel he is a very important bowler for us in this whole season as well as in future. But looking at the future, his fitness and rhythm is very important for us. He is an outstanding bowler, whenever he comes in he makes something happen regardless of the surface we are playing on," he asserted.

 

 

Well deserved praise for our fast bowler Shami.  He has looked like a much better bowler after his return from injury.   Not only has he bowled with  good  pace and bounce, he has bowled in better areas too with  movement both ways.....seam, swing and reverse swing.  He is our only all-condition fast bowler as of today.

Shami has really looked our all condition bowler & he has really bowled well after his injury layoff.

Kohli should look after his workload & ensure he is fit.He could have been rested in 3rd test against NZ.We want him fit against England & Australia series

There is a section of the Indian media and ex-cricketers...who played or reported in the '80s or earlier.  who always  refer to Indian pacers as medium pacers.

 

Some of the worst in this  aspect are LSRK, Arun Lal, etc.

 

Sometimes, there have been stupid statements like..... he is a really quick  "medium-pacer"....... Our "medium-pacers'  are bowling fast.....Our " medium-pacers"  are quicker than the WI  fast bowlers
