Guys,
Does anyone of you (those from India or following Indian domestic scene) know of few overseas-tour-worthy bowlers on the Indian domestic who have proven in atleast 2-3 seasons. No, I am not talking about bowlers like that ipl kulkarni or that jadhav or some bowler who was taken to England ....some real pace and swing type talent is what I would want to know
 
fast bowlers :quote: :yk


But on a serious note, I'd like to see the next guy all of India pins their hopes on and then woefully under-develop him, then the bechara becomes chronically injured by being over-worked or just doesn't live up to the hype.
 
What happened to Varun Aaron? Sure, he was no Akhtar but he was the only guy in all my years of watching and following cricket from India that I saw who could actually bowl express. Yeah, Yadav is quick but fast at best. Aaron is someone who's mean, scary and can rank it up to 150 KPH at will.

Yadav is fastest bowler in subcontinent
 
Yadav is fastest bowler in subcontinent

I would disagree. I think Wahab Riaz is the fastest bowling from SC followed by perhaps Chameera in terms of fastest deliveries.

However, yeah, Yadav could be the fastest in terms of average pace.
 
Indian pace attack is not a problem anymore.

Shami/Ishant/BK/Yadav/Bumrah will continue to be the first options if they are fit.

Bumrah will continue to improve. He is a pretty good bowler.

Aaron is a wild card. He just does not have the control to go along with this pace.

What happened to those J & K Pacers? Heard an year ago that they bowl pretty quick and can still maintain good line.

The problem is this:

The pace attack most likely will not perform when the onus is on them to perform. Right now there is no pressure and little expectation on them and spinners are expected to take the bulk of the wickets
 
Mohammed Shami is the only good pacer India have. These Yadavs, Kumars and Sharmas can not be relied on.
 
Exactly. I cannot forget the likes of prasad,zaheer, shami, ishant who were good on 1 tour but not together, whenever they played with other bowlers or when there is team requirement for them to perform. Ishant is past his expiry date long back but for Dhoni he will not be a 12th man in Bangladesh team too, with due respect to their pacers. As for Shami, injury prone. Varun wayward, although experienced in Ranji I think. Kumar saving grace but not enough pace for Aus, Nz tours.....

Just like Rahat and Imran Khan dominated Aussies in UAE, but when they went to NZ they bowled like trash.
 
India needs one more pacer at Shami's level and they should be good to compete and win tests in the Caucasian countries.

Bhuvi is as good as any Asian pacer in swinging conditions.
 
Where is Barinder Sran these days? He's a decent talent.

Ankit Rajpoot is also performing well in domestic for the last few seasons.
 
None of India's fast bowlers are good enough.
Ishant has no skills. Umesh is so predictable that batsmen can hang on the front foot & bash him all day. Shami is decent by our standard but that's it.

That's the sad reality. Said exactly the same thing few days ago too. Everything looks good and improved when we are playing and winning at home. [MENTION=134809]sensible-indian-fan[/MENTION]
 
India need to invest in Punjab/Greater Punjab(Himachal and Haryana) if they want durable "fast" bowlers.

I think the number of dropped catches was a big reason for that. England would have been losing in 3 days all these games, had India not dropped an avg. of 3 catches in the first hour of every innings.
 
Well there is aniket chaudhary, who is tall left armer 6.4 bowls upto mid 140, then their is Avesh khan, who is tall hit the deck bowler bowls good speed too, mohsin sayed, chama milind, ankit rajpoot, all bowl very sharp , shardool thakur also, but nathu singh is a really exciting prospect as well, bowls fairly quick as well.

Punjab/Haryana produces trundlers bhaya.
Mohit/Ishant/Sandeep (all Sharmas)/Sran are trundelrs. Only Ishant can crnk it up to 140k if he chooses to.

The fastest bowlers in India Yadav/Aaron/Shami (all 3 of them bowl over 140k) are from Maharashtra/Jharkhand and Bengal.

Nathu Singh and Avesh Khan will play for India in the future.

Take a cue from Pakistan. Same genetics, just not enough investment. Ishant started out as 150ks.
 
Best express bowler, Wahab is faster though. Yadav has more ability but Wahab is faster so in the end I'd take Yadav.
Yadav isn't not that good. Ask the Indian PPers. He bowls a couple good deliveries, but bowls too many poor balls. He didn't take one wicket in the last match.
 
Indian Selectors are just as Naive as the Pakistani ones... You guys have an absolute gem in Ashok Dinda who can bowl decent pace and with a little help can swing that cherry as well !! Would be a travesty if this guy doesn't represent India in over 60-70 tests !!

You have that mediocre Ishant making the rounds again and again but Dinda, (who is a genuine talent) doesn't get selected :facepalm:

Just ask [MENTION=133315]Hitman[/MENTION] !!
 
What's the point in us developing fast bowlers ? At home spinners take 16-18/20 wkts in a test anyways. Overseas we never win even with so called talented pacers. Better to play only spinners who can bat a bit.
 
I'm not sure India even need pacers, they bowl only about 20 overs a day. replacing one of them with a batsman giving the other 15 overs a day would be better.
 
The top pacers in Ranji trophy so far are
Anupam Sanklecha - 34 yr old, bowls 125-130 kmph, top speed 135 kmph
Pankaj Singh - 32 yrs old, bowls 125-130 kmph, can hit 135-140
Ashok Dinda - 33 yrs old, bowls 130-135, top speed 140+
Siddarth Kaul - 26 yrs old, bowls 130-135, top speed around 140
Rituraj Singh - 26 yrs old, bowls 125-126, top speed 130
Mohammad Siraj - 22 yrs old , bowls 130-135, can hit 140
Ishwar Pandey - 27 yrs old, bowls 130-135, can hit 140
Sandeep Sharma - 23 yrs old, bowls 125-130, top speed of 135
Ashish Kumar - 28 yrs old, bowls 125-126, top speed 130

In addition we have
Varun Aaron - 27 yrs old , bowls 135-140, top speed 145+
Shardul Tahkur - 25 yrs old, bowls 130-135, top speed 140+
Dhawal Kulkarni - 28 yrs old, bowls 130-132, top speed 135
Nathu Singh - 21 years old, bowls 135, can easily hit 140
Ankit Rajpoot - 23 yrs old, bowls 130-135, can hit 140+
Hardik Pandya - 22 yrs old, bowls 130-135, top speed 140+

Then there are some like Aniket Chaudhary, Pawan Suyal, Chama Milind etc who aren't known much outside Ranji and do not look good enough.

Not including Unadkat, Mohit Sharma, Vinay Kumar, S Arvind all of whom can bowl upto 130 with top speed of 135 at best

Speeds are for FC matches, in shorter formats, some of these guys can go 4-5 kmph faster occasionally.

Out of the entire lot, Shardul Thakur, Nathu Singh, Sandeep and Siraj are most promising. Nathu, if handled well, should be ready in another year or two. Bowls a bit like Shami. Sandeep is a like to like clone of Bhuvi.

No outright pacers as such but we should be able to manage.
 
All of these guys, bar Shardul, appear to be total tailenders.

Unless you are a genuine strike bowler, that is unacceptable in the modern game.

Any of this lot who can get to Bhuvi level as a bowler and batsman?
 
Any new fast bowlers from India after ipi10 or in the ongoing/past Indian season who could take over from umesh or shami in form slump or fitness issue times? Anyone has followed or noticed such guys? For the first time I am hopeful Indian fast bowlers can get majority of the 20 wickets for winning a test match abroad - they , the current top crop of bowlers, have seen failure, injuries, form slump and are primed for a period of 4-5 good years at least from nowon is my opinion.
