MCcricket Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 8 hours ago, express bowling said: Among our uncapped pacers, I feel Shardul Thakur is worth a try. He is a skilled pacer with natural outswing and developed inswing. Can reverse the ball too. Very accurate bowler. He is sharp and has a good bouncer too. He is actually one of the few Indian pacers who regularly pushes back batsmen with bouncers and then pitches up for wickets. Can bowl yorkers too. He was one of the top wicket takers in last year's Ranji and has wicket taking ability. Has a good FC record. Performed really well in the last A tour. Express I do not see anything special with Shardul, he is performing at domestic level but doesn't seem to have anything which would make him successful at Int level, he bowls around Mohit Sharma pace n has a similar height, he is a trier but he is a level or two even below Shami n Umesh , selectors need to focus on building a pace attack not 3 similar bowlers n that too Shhardul the last in terms of skills n pace to Shami n Umesh. We need to look at left armers, Aniket, Sangwan comes to mind and both are hit the deck n good pace n can extract seam n bounce also both have experience n a good action, Aniket being very tall n Sangwan is not short either. Among bowlers who have a spark n can price out a batter thru pace n uniqueness, Nathu comes to mind If you look at a all conditions bowler who has experience and can fit it is Pankaj , Ankit is another one who has experience ,stats, and potential

MCcricket Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Indian selectors have been very poor in Identifying the right bowlers, Dhawal, Mohit, Swans, Unadkunt n long list of mediocre bowlers picked up but real deal ignored tweaker 1

Dismissed the likes of Amla, Faf etc. and picked up many wickets. He was also our highest wicket taker in the unofficial test series in Australia while playing for India A. I am looking for wicket taking ability against good batsmen while picking our next seamer. 2) He bowls good setups...pushes batsmen back with bouncers and then pitches up. I am looking for a seamer who can bowl to a plan and bowl good bouncers too. Nathu Singh and Aniket Chaudhury are obviously 2 of our best prospects...who combine pace and bounce with skills.... and I am looking forward to seeing them play for India in the next 12 months.

SecondSlip Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Shardul Thakur is the next pace bowler in line for a test debut.
Unleashed Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 With Ishant, Bhuvi, Shami and Umesh we finally have found a quartet who looks to be International class. Shami will be world class in the next year or so, dude has been brilliant so far. Umesh, Bhuvi and Ishant are good bowlers who can play according to the pitches. I liked our opening bowling duo in U19 World Cup so far, and have been hearing good reports about Nathu Singh so let's see what happens but ideally we need another pace bowler along with Shami who is consistent enough, Umesh has improved but doesn't make the batsmen play too many times.
express bowling Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) International captains and coaches typically tend to like seamers who have the ability to hit the deck hard and get some life out of the pitch....especially when there is no swing on offer. Even regarding swing bowlers....when there is no swing on offer, or just to mix things up....ability to hit the deck hard on occasions is important. We see top swing bowlers like Steyn, Anderson, Boult etc.....all basically swing bowlers....have the ability top hit the deck hard when needed. An old Anderson got Vijay out with a steep bouncer and bowled a couple of other good bouncers in that set-up too. Boult was bowling even 2 or 3 short rising deliveries, and hitting batsmen on the body on occasions, in some overs. Among the uncapped seamers playing Ranji.....who are the seamers who are (a) Taking loads of wickets (b) have the ability to hit the deck hard and extract life out of the pitch when the match situation demands it. Among seamers who have the ability to hit the deck hard when required -- Shardul Thakur was a top wicket-taker last season and in A team and BP XI matches. Totally out of form this season. Nathu Singh took wickets in the Duleep Trophy. Aniket Chaudhury has been a consistent performer in the last 2 years or more....even Ankit Rajpoot. Amit Kuila and Md. Siraj are two debutants who have performed well this season and are said to have the ability to hit the deck hard. Avesh Khan picked up loads of wickets in the u19 WC What types of bowlers are Tushar Deshpande and K. Vignesh ? Edited November 22, 2016 by express bowling Mosher 1

Bleed-Blue Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Navdeep Saini for delhi is consistent bowler.
Texan Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 From the little I have watched Nathu, it seems to me like he bowls from wide of the crease like Ishant. Wide of the crease is a good angle to try for variations, but consistently bowling from that angle does not usually pay dividends.
fineleg Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Bhuvi added to Test squad, who will he replace in 11 if at all? Jayant Yadav? (if 3 seamers at Mohali)
