India's Tour Of Sri Lanka Jul-Aug 2012

I am very interested in having a look at Yadav, hopefully he bowls fast, despite he is more medium pace really, bowls more in the 140ish so, he needs to bowl consistently at 150-155 kmph to be considered a fast bowler, however I read somewhere he wants to be the next McGrath, Mcgrath bowled around 130ish so, if we go by that I guess Umesh is just another medium fast bowler in the making.

If he wants to be next McGrath that does not mean he wil drop down his pace. That is one of the strength of Umesh's bowling. He wants to focus on his line and length because McGrath was very accurate with it. He wants to be as sucssefull as McGrath and for that he needs to work really hard and I guess it will inspire him all the time.
 
I am hearing you mate, guess I am a bit biased here since I like fast bowlers who actually bowl fast, to be honest I was never a big fan of Glenn, he is a legend one of the best to played the game but he was slow, and he had to be for his accuracy. Yadav has a lot of promise, a good action to bowl at 150 kph for sustained periods at this time in world cricket we need a bowler like this there are way too much medium fast bowlers going around. I would like to see Yadav looking up to bowlers Like Malcom Marshall, Lillee, Thompson or even Waqar.

sehwag is extremely lucky there to survive also what is happening for sri lanka catches are going down :D
 
Just woke up, 314, will take it and wow, another onslaught on Malinga by India.
 
This Kohli is a son of a gun.... His last 5 ODI innings have yielded 4 centuries and 1 fifty! 314 is a decent score but SL have the firepower to chase it. Our spinners hold the key.
 
Good stuff from Ojha and Ashwin to pick wickets and also choke up the scoring rate.
 
Good stuff from Irfan Pathan as well, was deadly up front when it was swinging a bit.
 
Tripe of an over from Ojha! Horrible stuff.... 15 runs scored off that over. With Sanga still on and Perera capable of doing big things, India can't rest easy here.
 
Beautiful stuff from Ashwin. After that huge last over, he brings it back beautifully with a super tight over that yields only 6 runs. Good game for Ashwin, 10 overs for 46 runs and 2 wickets.

Irfan and Zaheer need to bowl out their 3 overs in the end with Yadav chipping in with the rest.
 
Tense out there, misfields here and there, Irfan and Yadav to finish I reckon.
 
sangakarra was out there but not given. :mad anyway a comfortable victory for india well played guys :D
