Reminds me of Ajit Agarkar.

That ball to get rid of Asnodkar was a beauty. Pace and bounce. Batsman didn't have a clue. Good that Thampi got to bowl early today.

@Cricketics Please post the gifs of Thampi's bowling today.

First wicket and the third wicket was good.

Third one was a good short ball and was caught.

Thoda Hype kam kare bhaiyon.

Not hype but Thampi has a lot of potential. This is not based on a single match. He has shown he can bowl quick yorkers, bouncers and slower ones. Can bowl with the new and the old ball with impressive accuracy too. Good find for LOI's if he keeps bowling like this.

I'm totally in favour of fast tracking this guy and other ready talents.. its about potential. So what if they fail?

 

We have supportive captain kohli who will back these guys. Even if they fail, they have time and the resources to get better. Even picking up a couple of wickets at the international level can do wonders for confidence.

 

Plus we need an influx of new bowlers: Thampi, Thakhur, Nathu singh, Sran etc. Lets try these guys out and see what they can do steaming in.

Impressive pace and hitting the deck hard. 2nd wicket looks like it was quicker than 138, shows his effort in bowling.

 Pant and Thampi are the next Gilchrist and Donald.

I hope I am way off base here, but his window of opportunity is very small.  He is 23+, and is just making a mark.  Selectors will want to see him for at least one IPL season and one more Ranji season when he is fully fit.  With the exception of Shami, Indian fast bowlers who have had reasonably successful careers from Kapil to Srinath to Zaheer to Ishant S to even Umesh Y have all made their debuts well before age 23, which means they were known commodities at age 20 - 21 at most.  

 

Hopefully our selectors take a gamble on this kid, draft him into the A team right away and see what happens.

He is already very well known for his pace in domestic circuit. It is people here who got to know about him now. But this performance will certainly propel him further for a spot in LOI teams where we are carrying bowlers like Umesh who still do not instill enough confidence.

Thampi's accuracy has been so good that there should be no reason not to fast-track him in our LOI teams

I'd be happy if they can be Dhoni (of earlier years) and Srinath (of his good years).

But even to reach Dhoni (just keeping and batting, not talking abt captaincy at all)

or Srinath heights - they have Loooonnnngggggggg way to go. So we can forget Gilly and Donald (I know you were saying sarcastically only).

 

ICF gets over-excited easily with Pant and Thampi :)

Our BCCI selectors will select Ashok Dinda and Vinay Kumar and Jayadev Unadkat anyway

He looks more accurate that Umesh may be a bit slower but definitely better bouncers and that yorker. Why is this guy not playing ahead of them.

I  think that Thampi is as quick as Umesh too and we will see it if he gets to play the IPL.

His brother, Cilantro Thampi, is one to watch out for too.

[express bowling]

We will have another  chance of seeing Thampi bowl today at  the match starting 1.30 p.m IST

They are rumored to be pretty quick and they are strictly on a "herbivorous" diet.

[rkt.india]

His name is Thamby, not Thampi. There is some error in spelling.
