The Pace of Taskin & Rubel in New Zealand - Page 3

SportingBD · #51 January 8, 2017, 06:51 AM

The only pacer left to watch is Ebadat Hossain, apparently his fast.

Any chance he might debut in test match?

No chance.

So both Taskin and Rubel likely to play the test match?

Cloudy conditions? pace up? or still no chance to reach 146?

Why no roy

SportingBD · #55 January 8, 2017, 10:52 AM

Most likely it will be three man pace attack?

Roy, Rubel & Taskin (my desired)? but I have a feeling it might be Rabbi, Roy and Taskin (horrible to me)?

First Test Match for Taskin Ahmed.. will be interesting to see how his pace varies...

Saw Boult hit 140 Kph couple of times... can Taskin finally reach 145/146?

Boult always had the pace. In his early days, he was bowling 145+ easy. But sacrified a bit of pace for the swing but he still bowls 145+ every now and then. Did it in the 2nd ODI afaik

SportingBD · #58 January 13, 2017, 03:54 PM

^If Taskin can bowl a good tight spell with 140kph consistently, that would be great for us.

His also trying to learn swing bowling, hope he doesn't have to sacrifice too much pace..

Nadim · #59 January 14, 2017, 06:00 AM

Jinx thread. Taskin yet to reach 145 in this tour.

In fact, Roy was faster than Taskin yesterday

SportingBD · #60 January 14, 2017, 06:17 AM

At one point his pace was going slower and slower...

I don't think we have a genuine 145 kph bowler... maybe rubel but he didn't play.

simon · #61 January 14, 2017, 06:31 AM

Roy was surprisingly way faster
Kiwi call him a muscle bwler or upper body bowler

SportingBD · #62 January 14, 2017, 06:35 AM

I remember in BPL, Roy bowled a Spell full of 140 KPH+ deliveries in one of the matches.

In one over his speed was like 140, 142, 143, etc.. was brilliant too watch.. was economical also.

Taskin hasn't impressed so far, and coach was reluctant to play him.. Rubel should have started.

Taskin should have had 2, he could have had 3...

Luck needs to go your way too, and he bowled too long spells, he started to run out of steam towards end of his spells

SportingBD · #64 January 14, 2017, 07:53 AM

He started off very well, bowled very tight early on. But lost it afterwards, and his pace also dropped. He was bowling 130-132 KPH at one stage. Hope he can become a good test bowler, needs to add the swing which he wants to learn.

NoName · #65 January 14, 2017, 03:01 PM

Roy is a strong fella, bowling 140s easily with the run-up of a spinner lol

BengaliPagol · #66 January 14, 2017, 03:12 PM

for some reason the comments i read its like people are watching test cricket for the first time. All faster bowlers that bowl in test cricket get slower and slower as the day progresses. 145k+ bowlers like Amir, Starc, Rabada even slow down to 133k+ speeds. How can you expect bowlers to bowl 90 balls consistently at speeds of 140k+. Your off your chops. Not only that but conditions have alot to do with pace as well and when pacers bowl on a flat pitch its not inviting to keep bowling fast throughout the whole day.

Lets make it easier for you to understand

I haven't seen a single over or two in a row where Taskin bowled 140kph+ consistently.

Forget about Amir, Starc etc.. they often bowl very fast at start of their spell...

yes Taskin is not in their category. I never said he was. But ill make it easier for you to understand. EVEN bowlers like Amir, Starc going down in pace so the way you phrased earlier "taskin was bowling 132k at one stage" is not a failure by any means. On top of that conditions have a lot to do with the pace as well. None of the NZ bowlers were bowling 140k+ either.

Kohli_Sox · #69 January 14, 2017, 03:41 PM

As it stands out, Taskin is not ready for test cricket. The only way taskin is going to be effective in tests if he bowls fast because he has no swing. If he cant bowl 140 kph consistently then we are looking at another shahadat hossain. With his action, he wont be able to extract swing. He has to just bowl fast and learn quickly.

Lol. I was saying bowling 130-132 Kph wont be effective if you don't have something special.. players like Amir and Starc have swing.. so even if they drop down, they remain threatening.. but just bowling 130-132 kph.. without anything else you wont be effective as you tire... or bowl a lengthy spell...

The wicket isn't that great, I agree with that.. but boult was hitting 140+ a lot in the second day..and southee wager was bowling their usual pace.. plus Roy first spell was faster than Taskins first... I am sure he will pick up with pace in ChristChurch

How was it his fault when people drop Chances

And its difficult to bowl consistently quick on such a windy day, that's true for any level of cricket

He can't get swing and never will, but he can seam the bowl off the pitch because he has good seam position, look at the Williamson wicket, that was a perfect test match bowl and he nearly had Taylor by nipping it in, he had the opener by nipping it away off a length and this is on a pitch that's flattened out

Rana Melb · #72 January 14, 2017, 03:55 PM

Nz bowlers were not bowling at great pace too...

aklemalp · #73 January 14, 2017, 05:16 PM

Slow at the moment....they need to amp it up

In Tests Amir bowls around 135 average...this is about Taskin's average in this match so far. Actually Yadav is very quick because he is averaging 140 over 25 over spells. Faster than Amir.

Starc is probably the fastest red ball bowler in the world. Even then his average speed is barely 140.

What was Shoaib's average speed over a 20 over spell? It wasn't 150, or even 145. Probably barely 140 like Starc.

Guys like Amir are 135.

SportingBD · #75 January 14, 2017, 06:54 PM

Swing bowlers like Amir & Starc doesn't depend on pace, that's why normally they bowl 135-140.. but they also have genuine pace.. we saw Amir bowl 140+ in England couple of years ago.. Starc can also do the same.. With Taskin his main weapon was pace... and that hasn't been that great.. if you don't have pace you need some other sort of skills.. either swing.. slower balls, cutters etc... which Taskin doesn't have... lots to improve as a test bowler.
