Yadav still does not execute his bowling well. Shami does do that. Yadav can be predictable. If he bowls bouncers, he keeps bowling bouncers. If bowls full then keeps bowling full. Doesn't mix lengths well. Edited November 29, 2016 by rkt.india raki05 and MCcricket 2
CoverDrive Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Shami's dismantling of Woakes and then Rashid was awesome. softened him up and then did not back down. express bowling 1

But see the results of even this test....both bowled well but Shami has 5 wickets and Umesh has 2. Umesh needs to quickly pickup the sequence of deliveries to bowl to pick up wickets regularly.

CG Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 But see the results of even this test....both bowled well but Shami has 5 wickets and Umesh has 2. Umesh needs to quickly pickup the sequence of deliveries to bowl to pick up wickets regularly. Yadav is a swing bowler his length is diff to Shami Also he floats the ball while shami hits the pitch diff types if bowlers they are.First test there was some swing he bowled well and should have got a 5 fer.Shami to me uses the seam pretty well so he is in the game in most pitches.Thing is they compliment each other Yadav with new ball bowls outswinger and reverses in while shami does opp.
CG Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 I expect there will be swing in Mumbai so Yadav should do well there.

He needs to quickly learn the sequence of deliveries to bowl, to take wickets consistently. Anyway...this thread is not about Umesh...so lets discuss it elsewhere. Laaloo 1
CoverDrive Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 What is significant is that Yadav has improved on his batting. You can see he has ability and can slog but now he is trying to build an inning. This is helping him as if he does not get wickets then they won't directly just get in Bhuvi as a much better batsman.

Well, Yadav does have a fairly big FC 100 - can bat better than a standard No. 11 IMO.
express bowling Posted December 20, 2016 Author Posted December 20, 2016 Another test win for us on a flat flat track....an innings defeat at that...after losing the toss Mosher 1
express bowling Posted February 13, 2017 Author Posted February 13, 2017 Another test win on a flat track......albeit not against a top test team But, our bowlers are getting used to picking 20 wickets on flat tracks again and again .....and pacers are playing decent parts too This part is heartening and it is good to see Kohli using pacers sufficiently and preparing them for bigger workloads Mosher 1
express bowling Posted February 24, 2017 Author Posted February 24, 2017 We have played 8 of the last 9 home tests on tracks which were not raging turners.... and won 7 of those 8 test matches and drew the other one. Why change the formula which was working so well ? Most of our batsmen these days are that good against spin and are better at playing pace and bounce.... the innocuous foreign pacers get teeth on raging turners.... we should go back to the tracks we played on against England and NZ. p.s- It has to be said that this pitch has not behaved as viciously as our batting collapse would make it look. We have become really poor against spin. CG 1

I am blaming the decision to make such a pitch as it is not our strength any more....as most of our batters cannot play spin and ordinary foreign spinners become tigers.

MK55 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Toss plays such a crucial role on pitches such as these.
