What's new

[VIDEOS] Jammu and Kashmir pacer Umran Malik

Why do I feel that the speeds were a bit exaggerated today? Heck even abbot was bowling around 146kph
 
Jammu have many fast bowlers with tennis ball.
Tennis ball cricket is very popular here and bowlers have to ball fast to survive with tennis ball.
 
Bowled fast but 52 runs and no wickets to show for that.
 
yep wont be surprised if Nortje hits 155+ too today

Nortje has hit 150 plus numerous times in international cricket.

Try to make peace with the fact that the fastest bowler in the world is an Indian.
 
Bowled fast but 52 runs and no wickets to show for that.

Catches dropped. He had Powell in the 3rd over.

But he needs to learn. He hit his yorkers in the 3rd over. Went only for 2 runs.

In the 4th over he was hit for 3 boundaries and a six while trying to land a yorker.

These things will come with experience and i hope the bcci fast tracks him to team India, where he will learn.

He has little to learn from his Ranji team.
 
Umran and Tyagi are absolute gems. One is express, the other is fast and moves the ball. Some serious talent

Can anyone upload a clip of that 157 kph delivery plz?

Was quick but went quicker to the boundary it seems

^thanks mate.

Yes that did indeed looked quick. Umran really needs to aim for the batter’s head. He bowls far too many full balls for my liking.
 
It's not just about the fastest speed a bowler can clock, but also about their consistent/average speeds.

Umran might just be the fastest bowler going around right now. Sure Nortje, Rauf have clicked mid 150s in the past but I have never seen either of them bowl at 148-155 consistently throughout a spell.
We need to see what speeds he can maintain playing the longer formats of the game but based on what we've seen uptil now, I think hes the fastest bowler in the world based on average speed.
 
From what I remember, 10-12 of his deliveries in a 24 ball spell were at or above 150 km/hr. Who else have we seen do that in world cricket recently?.

Lockie, Nortje,Wood and Rauf all bowl n the 143-148 zone mostly with the effort ball in the 150-152 region. Starc a tad slowler than both at his current age. The Srilankan duo are another step below.
 
Powell is Viv Richards?

Nothing to do with batsmen but at that pace every batsmen will struggle.

It's that quick.

Bowling to modern t20 batters that too carribean ones is altogether different ball game
Gauging pace based on naked eye observation is purely subjective
Ability to play pace differs from batsmen to batsmen,some of them find difficulty to face even a short delivery at 130
 
Reminds me of Karnal Zahid who clocked 155 kph at the Qalandars high performance center.
Think we might see him play for the lahore qalandars just for the hype ,
Interesting to see how he goes in International cricket.
 
It'll be interesting to see if he can sustain this level of pace over an extended period of time or whether this is one of those bowlers who bowls quick and then suffers serious injuries and returns as a 135kph bowler.

I hope he does well, sustains his pace and does well in international cricket, as modern day cricket needs such bowlers.
 
Indian or not, it’s great to see. Not sure about the authenticity of the speed - he looked quicker when he got those 3 wickets in one over a couple of weeks ago. That was around 147-149k.

Regardless he’s quick without a doubt. India should replace some baby pace bowlers with malik
 
This guy I have maintained is a serious talent. Guy is pushing the 160kph barrier which is rare sight in world cricket today.

Can’t wait to see him play for India. India have got some brilliant bowling talent coming through and Umran has taken the cricketing world by storm the whole world is raving about him

A gem 💎 of a bowler

one of my give aways for the speed of the ball when it gets that fast is ballistic trajectory kinda vanishes optically, if u see the old shoaib or lee yorkers they use to zero in on the stump like a dart, same with this guy, was a crap ball in context of the game but i wouldnt doubt thats very quick

There's also the Varun Aaron / Mohammad Sami route. Fast but not threatening. Only time will tell
 
If he is consistently bowling at this speed currently then surely he is wasting his energy in useless IPL matches lol. He should save it for internationals because IPL will kill his career within next 2-3 years. He will remain unfit for the real cricket matches. :inti
 
What speeds. The only genuine pacer in world cricket at the moment. All others contenders are fast medium.

To be really fast, you have to bowl around 150+ or thereabouts most of your spells.

No one other than Umran can do that, although it is very early in his career.

He's doing it for the money and more glory to him. Someone with his background needs to play as many IPLs as possible and make as much money as he can. His priority should be to make quick money, short IPL career of bowling quick is probably better than a long international career of being a trundler.

Are you trying to say that he will become a trundler after playing international cricket for few years? Bowlers like Akhtar and Lee never compromised on their speeds. My main concern is him getting burned out in useless pyjama league matches and not remaining fit for International cricket. :inti
 
Good pace, but it seems that he has been found out.

David warner played him beautifully...
Powell and gaikwad are playing him without taking a forward press to give more time

He's a fast bowler, but he will need to mix it up with short balls, yorkers, and actual skill besides pace.

IPL is good in a way of giving financial benefits and giving them recognition but it's a bitter reality that many Indian in players will play less international cricket because of IPL, even Kohli has been affected, Bumrah , Eth second coming of kapil and many more.

If you have ever read my opinions regarding IPL here, you would have noticed that I always talked about Kohli and Bumrah skipping IPL to prolong their international career. I said this few years ago and I will say it again that Bumrah should skip playing in useless Pyjama Leagues otherwise he will be burned out sooner than expected. :inti

It would definitely make sense if his remuneration from IPL is less than or similar to playing for india. However, if his remuneration for playing for IPL is way more than India, then it would be unfair to expect him to give up IPL earnings.
 
He might be the most consistently fastest bowler of all time. Even better, he has the cleanest bowling action. Hope he remains injury free and breaks the 165-170 km/hr barrier
 
People are doubting umran maliks quickness just because he will break Akhtar's record any day and plus because he is indian and not pakistan. Had he been pakistani, the same posters would had been very positive.

Also before doubting, do take a look at the way lockie ferguson bowls. He doesnt seem quick yet he bowls really fast deliveries

Relax SRK. He is some distance away from Akhtar's record.

But yes he is express.

perhaps the fastest bowler in the world currently. May be this is unacceptable to some.

Unless he gets injured, akhtars record is a goner.

Than we will be celebrating that akhtar was fastest in international......

I thought pakistanis would be supporting this guy knowing hes from jammu

To be honest Akhtar is history - and not many care about what he did in the past.

Lets concentrate on Umran

His origin (and probably his religion) should not be a concern.

Only 3 people have bowled at 100mph in the 150 years of cricket. Its not an easy thing, esp for a 22 year old playing his 1st season.

Tbh i would be happy if he is consistently 95 mph and above.

His being a muslim or from Jammu should not matter.
 
Mumbai: Over the years, IPL has given a chance to raw talent to shine. Players like Jasprit Bumraha nd Hardik Pandya owe everything to the cash-rich league. Had the IPL not been there, so many players in the domestic circuit would never have got a chance to showcase their skills.

In 2022, amid all promising performances, Umran Malik has certainly made a name for himself. He has consistently clocked 150 kmph+. He also has the fastest ball of the season which was bowled at 157 kmph.

But all said and done, Umran is yet to make his national debut. Impressed with his pace, ex-India cricketer Harbhajan Singh said that he wants to see Umran and Bumrah playing together in Australia. The T20 WC is set to take place in Australia later in the year and it would be interesting to see if the young J&K pacer makes it to the side or not.

“He is my favourite. I want to see him in the Indian team. What a bowler he is. Name a pacer bowling at over 150 and not playing for the country. So I think this is a great thing. He will inspire many youngsters to take up this game, where has come from and what he is doing in the IPL. He has been unbelievable. I don’t know if he will be selected or not but if I was part of the selection committee, I would have given him a go ahead. Umran Malik should partner Jasprit Bumrah when India play in Australia,” Harbhajan told reporters on the sidelines of a Dream Set Go event.

The IPL 2022 has witnessed the emergence of certain promising youngsters who have made heads turn. From Ayush Badoni to Mohsin Khan, several players have impressed with their performances in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. In fact, some have been so good that certain former cricketers can’t wait to see their favourite player/s representing the Indian team. One such cricketer, clamours of whose inclusion have grown louder everytime he has walked out to the field, is Umran Malik. The 22-year-old pacer has really cranked it up but has blown hot and cold. (Also Read: 'No need to take decisions in hurry. He's given 100 runs in last 8 overs' - Ex-India opener on Umran's India call-up)

However, Kevin Pietersen feels that India should speed up Umran’s national call-up and include him in both white-ball and red-ball squads. Pietersen in particular wants Umran to be part of India’s squad for the rescheduled Test match against England in Manchester in July, as he reckons the youngster can inflict some serious damage on the hosts given England’s lack of experience in facing lightning-quick pace.

“If I was an India selector, I’d pencil him in for that Test match against England in July. The England batters are currently facing 70mph seamers in county cricket, so they certainly won’t want to be facing 90-95mph bowling all of a sudden. He is a breakout star of this competition and India would be silly not to use him straight away. To me, there is no point waiting around. Malik should be in the reckoning for India’s Test team, as well as white-ball sides. Nobody enjoys facing that kind of pace,” Pietersen wrote in his blog for Betway.

Umran has picked up 17 wickets from 13 matches so far and although he has bled runs occasionally, the pacer from J&K has burned up the speedometer. He has bowled the top five fastest deliveries in this year’s IPL, inclusion the quickest of 157 kmph against Delhi Capitals. His best performance of 5/25 came against a top team like Gujarat Titans, while against Punjab Kings, Umran grabbed 4/28, which saw him take thee wickets in the final over.

Him being from jammu and being muslim does matter.

It gives them a local celebrity that represents them in the media. Down the line if he becomes a star, would he be using his voice for a good cause or not. A celebrity's voice is worth more than anyone else.

Thus, i hope he breaks akhtars record and becomes a star and well known name, and than after could speka up for the people of kashmir and jammu.

I understand you would have issues woth that

Being the fastest has its aura. Yes, akhtars personality also played a part in that build up.

Im hoping Umran breaks the record and than gets the same hype. After which he can use his origin for a good cause if he ends up getting celebrity power

From where did players like Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly, Zak, Sehwag, Dhoni, Yuvi, Gambhir, Kohli, Raina come? Where were they showcasing their skills lol? They talk about Pandya as if he is the best all-rounder in the world lol. :inti

Umran has to break Akhtar's record in International Cricket not in some Lallu Panju League. :inti
 
kid is quick..no doubt..looks like a really good prospect for India..
The key is to look after him now. T20 will hurt a fast bowler. has he played any first class cricket? I worry about him on Indian wickets in first class cricket.

Action is slingy so should get reverse with a red ball. Doesnt matter if he is bowlinf 147 or 154 as long as its above 145-146 he will cause trouble..especially in england and new zealand. Australia will be a challenge so they should get him into the A team as soon as possible..let him tour a bit..wrap him in cotton wool..shami and co are looking a bit long in the tooth and Bumrah could use the support..

They have unearthed a gem here. Exciting to watch this lad, easily the fastest bowler in the world at the moment.

Hope he remains injury free. World cricket has been devoid of tearaway quicks since Akhtar and Lee retired.
 
No lie, for a while I did fear what happens when Shami and Umesh bow out together leaving Bumrah on his own and overworked as a result.

But look at us now - Siraj, Prasidh, Kartik, Umran, Kuldeep, Arshdeep, Khaleel and Mohsin have come along without much of a fuss.

Couple of U19 stars like Bawa and hangargekar have not got game time yet but they'll be ready in time.

#ThankYouIPL
 
Time for bcci to get into the act. Umran deserves the best facilities Money can buy.

Take him to NCA. Select him for LoIs.

For heaven's sake, he is going to be more productive than 33 year old Bhuvi or 29 year old Chahar that we keep selecting.
 
Despite all his pace , Umran is far from being a ODI-Test ready. He needs to develops movement and a good slower one so that he can be a deadly prospect. Personally i rather him play T20 only for rest of this year. By 2023 he should be given chance in ODI. Tests should be still far away.
 
My T20 team for Australia tour :-

Rohit
Rahul
Kohli/SkY
Pant
Pandya
SKY
Shardul/Deepak C/Sundar
Siraj/Shami/Prasidh
Bumrah
Yuzi
Umran

Go with 4 genuine pace bowling options or 3 pacer + Yuzi + Sundar. Pandya will be 6th bowling option.

Do not select below players with technical weakness vs pace and bounce in Australia:

Shreyas
Kishan
V Iyer
Hooda

Also, don't select Jadeja and Axar as they are subcontinent conditions players and Jadeja is simply not good with bowl in t20s.

Samson has temperament issue but give him some chances to see if it is fixed now at international level or not because he is good vs pace.
 
Need this thread free of any political stuff.

Kashmir issue is for TPS.

Oh please, stop hyping them again on the basis of some Lallu Panju League performances. Khaleel was nothing special when he last played for India. Bawa and Hangargekar will be wasted just like Mavi and Nagarkotti. Umran hasn't played a single international match yet. Even Siraj didn't impress in LOIs either. It seems he didn't learn anything in IPL. He is in the test team because of his performances in domestic cricket. So you should thank domestic cricket for that. :rabada2

Fact is we keep hearing about these names from IPL fans, but when the time comes to give a performance in the most important matches of the international tourney, these guys fail very badly. I will keep my expectations low regarding Umran Malik. If he is good then I hope he stays fit after playing useless IPL every year. :inti

Calm down there. Just because he bowls 150kmph, it doesn't mean he should get presidential treatment. He should be in the A team first. Deepak Chahar has done well in whatever chances he has got so far. You are reminding me of some Pakistani fans who used to be obsessed about pace as well. Funny thing is fans like you used to make fun of them back then. :inti

Does he have a fitness to last in a test match? It is one thing to bowl 4 overs with real pace and another to bowl that fast in a test match regularly especially in subcontinent conditions. :inti

Siraj is going through a loss of form, flopped in South Africa in test series too. If he gets his form right, he will be effective in Australia.
 
India should play four genuine pacers + Yuzi + Pandya for Australia tour. That's their best bet. The four pacers should be

1. Bumrah(2 in death overs, 1 in powerplay, 1 in middle)
2. Shami/Siraj/Prasidh/Khaleel/Mohsin( 3 with new ball and 1 around 15th over)
3. Umran Malik( express pace, bowl in middle overs and death overs which is where SRH are using him)
4. Deepak Chahar/Shardul Thakur ( Use them as bowl A/R)
5. Yuzi
6. Pandya :inti( use him as batting A/R)

Sundar, Jadeja and Axar are all bits and pieces but if four pacers don't work, go with Sundar among these three.
 
Thread topic is Umran Malik.

Stick to it.

Generic Benefits of IPL for mankind etc can go in other threads.
 
I mean you just compare IPL with world T20. 70 percent of the matches in world T20 are Bang vs netherlands or AUS vs Ireland or SL vs Zimbabwe etc - low quality waste of time. And played before empty stands.

Compare that to IPL with no freebie matches. And Wankhede today is packed after hosting matches daily for a month now - no dip in viewer enthusiasm.

IPL is pretty much the highest quality of cricket in limited overs one can possibly watch.

If a player hasn't proved himself in IPL, then he has not proved himself at all. Simple as that.

So what is stopping India from winning ICC LOI tournaments now? A guy like Krunal Pandya who I think has proved himself in IPL was struggling to middle the ball in international cricket. That's the quality of IPL. :inti

Krunal Pandya, AVG 24, SR 130
Ravindra Jadeja AVg 21, SR 126

Krunal is better than Jadeja in t20s but obviously since nobody hyped Jadeja on your face, so he should play for India I guess that's your logic here lol. :inti
 
Umran "SAMI"

Mohammed Sami 2.0 getting blasted to all parts as the overhype train is falling apart :virat1
 
In World T20, there won't be afternoon games and matches will be played on faster wickets so Umran Malik should work well there.
 
Extraordinary talent showcasing his blistering speed once again today. He’s a must in the Indian squad. Will easily become too 5 bowlers in the world.

He’s cranking it up again today

He has played just 1 ListA match and 3 FC matches. So he has the some stamina.
However in a 50 over match vs Bengal, he went for 98 runs in 10 overs with 1 wicket.

In test matches he will operate in mid 140's for most part with occasional 150+ balls.
He is just too inexperienced to be drafted into national side.

As long as he can avoid major injury , he will remain pretty quick.

I’ve been following him very closely and he’s bowled some lethal deliveries. Guys here to stay weather you like it or not. He’s in the Brett Lee Shoaib AKHTAR category.
