I think Sharma is the brightest star in a evergrowing Indian pace armada.
To name but a few: Pathan,Sreesanth,Kumar,RP singh and Khan(Admitedly he has been around for awhile but that doesnt mean he can't be counted!) |

Yeah the places he'll really flourish are Australia as we've already witnessed, South Africa and England with the swing.

I've been very impressed with Sharma so far. Hayden struggled to bully him and he had Ponting in all kind of trouble. He looks a very fine prospect but as some mention, the dead sub continent pitches can impact on him, whether good or bad, only time will tell.

In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

If the plan was to play out 3 draws and maintain 2nd in the rankings they've certainly failed on that front with this test. To be honest the Indians have bowled terribly in this test and they really need Sharma back

The flat tracks will in all likelihood lead to three drawn tests and so
India will maintain their 2nd place in the test rankings. If that's the
BCCI's thinking , then they have little confidence in their own seamers
and fear the South African attack.
We all agree it's a negative attitude and I'd love to know Gary Kirsten's thoughts. The one positive from a South African perspective is that the Indian bowlers had to bowl twice in the 1st test. Even Sehwag , after his heroics with the bat , bowled 22 overs in the SA 2nd innings. That possible tiredness might well have some impact come Thursday. Mystery is right too , an extra bowler, if conditions (track and climatic) are similar would reduce the strain on their attack. Edited by Sledger - 01 April 2008 at 6:50am |

Oh and as for Ishant Sharma, his performances in Australia were good but he still has a long way to go. He has the potential to develop into a deadly bowler but for that he should avoid injuries. He will be cannon fodder though if BCCI keep producing these flat tracks as his pace and bounce will just get the ball to sit up nicely for the batsman. His pace will help the ball come easily onto the bat and he will struggle as I don't believe that he is line and length. In australia he was negating that by his bounce which he won't get in India, and by his inswing which I again doubt will happen to that much extent or even happen if these type of pitches are made.

I don't think these flat tracks are in any way favouring the Indians sledger. If you look at recent wins India have had, these are in good bowling conditions. India have more than competent batsman to negate the effect of good bowling pitch and put up a good total and Indian bowlers can be deadly on swinging or bouncy tracks. I still don't get the reason as to why BCCI are acting like idiots producing flattest of pitches. It has been seen that many Indian batsman actually like bounce as Tendulkar and Laxman are very good when wicket has bounce as can be seen from their records in Australia. Even Rohit Sharma likes bounce and I am sure he will be found at home like Laxman. India's best chance, I believe lies in unleashing their pace bowlers on bowler friendly pitches. They have the variety in their attack which they should try to use which on flat is of no use. I watched each and every test in Oz but I'm certainly not watching any test in this series because of the boring cricket.

I agree Tykey , but my gutfeel is that the BCCI realise that a drawn series against the South Africans will keep them ranked at 2. Very negative , if true , but then when last was a surface produced in India without heavily favouring the home side ? |

My sentiments exactly EnglandFan. The indian side has the batsmen to deal with a pitch that has a bit of juice in it and it now has the bowlers to make good use of it.
Ishant Sharma has shown that he can bowl well at the top team in Test Cricket. He can swing the ball, gets good bounce and causes many problems to batsmen. I reckon he'll learn to make the ball move off the seam more if he gets better pitches to bowl on at home.
India also have Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth, R.P Singh and Irfan Pathan who would all also benefit from more active pitches. Now if they wanted to go with 3 seamers and 2 spinners then Pathan gives them that option with the all rounder role. Kumble and Harbhajan can bat competently as can Ishant.
That would give them the chance to use better pitches to their own advantage. I guess it'll take until their away record is better than their home one before they start doing it.
If I was Kirsten I'd be absolutely fuming that they won't give him pitches with more juice in them. If they're scared of Steyn and company ripping through them if they do then they shouldn't be in any position to make decisions on the pitch.
India have arguably the strongest batting lineup in the world and should be able to put up a fight against good seamers on active tracks.
India don't have any excuse to play on tracks like this one in the past test.
I'm sure they can produce a pitch which has some grass on and will crack to provide assistance for the spinners on days 4 and 5.
Or even a pitch that has more pace and bounce in it so that if the seamers put a bit of work in they'll reap rewards from the surface.
Until they do then I fear that Ishant will suffer for it.

yeah, even i think Ishant must play county somewhere down the line.More than anything i'm actually worried about how the think-tank manages him.Must not use him dead rubbers,imo.

Hes a wondeful talent, he caused alot of problems for the Austrailians in Austrailia, he bowls an excellent line and length with good control. The only problem for me is that the test matches in India are mostly on dead tracks like the one against south africa, and this wont help Ishant at all, i think its about time the indians had faith in their pace bowlers and stop making dead tracks, because the cricket becomes boring and it wont help the upcoming pace bowlers. I'd like to see Ishant play in county cricket for a bit here, im sure it will do him a world of good playing in England.

Hi guyz, newbie here but have been a lurker for quite sometime
 .I almost couldn't believe it when i don't see any Ishant centered threads..almost evry other cric forum have discussed about him for pages! In case this has been done before i requested the mods to direct me to the same.i used the search option..but didn't come up with anythng.Anyways going back to the subject of the thread..i've been very impressed by Sharma.He is tall,fast and gets good bounce as well..he is primarily an inswing bowler (i'm not talking about regular 6 inch inswing here but huge ones appx 2 feet,i reckon) but has developed the one which holds its line during the Ind-Aus test and odi series.At first i thought he wasn't understanding what was happening..but he has convinced me now that he can bowl the one that holds its line at will.But perhaps what truly amazed me was his ability to bowl at express pace..i understand that we Indians almost invariably hype our bowlers after a single good performance, but IMHO no one till date have had this sort of talent.but mine is obviously a biased POV..therefore i invite all you guyz to express your first impression of this guy here. Happy Posting.. Edited by Lambu - 31 March 2008 at 2:52pm |
