Lone Wolf Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Consistency & skill level wise Siraj is better than both Umesh & Saini. Siraj with the new ball can wreck havoc in English conditions too next year. Exciting to see how he goes in these 3 tests. nevada 1 Link to comment
nevada Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 ICF has been saying for years that he is a good fit for red ball cricket. Our chute TM has been idiotically picking him for T20. Forever Indian, Gollum and express bowling 1 2 Link to comment

gakgupta Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Me being from Hyderabad, i am super excited about this lad... He was shown less confidence from the captain.... but nevertheless, Siraj has shown what he is capable of... Second spell was superb and looks like getting wickets in every over .... On an other day, we could have easily got 3 to 4 wickets in that spell.. I am hoping from my bottom of my heart that ....this series will establish Gill & Siraj as test match players... Hoping that Siraj will be given new ball next time around and he will shown his real potential... I have seen his bowling in some A matches....he is capable of running thru the sides...

Frustrated Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Shami's injury could be a blessing in disguise. We have unearthed our next pace superstar , it seems. Link to comment
Vk1 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 He seems like a special bowler. Ishant / Bumrah / Shami / Siraj / Ashwin.. nice unit Link to comment

express bowling Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Pluses ---- 1. He is bowling in good to decent areas now. Maintaining the pressure from his end. 2. He can swing and reverse swing the ball. 3. He is able to bowl according to the team's plan. Minuses --- 1. He is looking ok on these pitches with pace and bounce. But he does not seem to have the pace for slower pitches. Needs to go back to bowling 135 k to 145 k, like he was doing in his special year 2018, when he ran through A teams. 2. Needs to hit the deck a bit harder with his good length balls, when the ball is not swinging. Edited December 28, 2020 by express bowling themask, Mosher, Suhaan and 4 others 7 Link to comment

Even Bumrah was thrashed by AB in Cape Town in his first test. Surely this debut will give him confidence. I agree he should up his pace a bit. He can do wonders for us in England. Link to comment
afan Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Im pleasantly surprised that Siraj has picked up the length sooner than expected. Lets hope he can crank it up a few clicks, and hope that he gets movement as well. If Umesh is indeed sidelined , I would rather look at someone like Kuldeep Yadav and go for 3 spinners especially if the SCG has not quickened up that much Link to comment

We need the same team with Saini in. express bowling 1 Link to comment
