Its Praise But Have Professionalism Spirit

*Shane Pollock-Greame Smith’s Praise over indian pacers….!!
●The Rhetoric ..But to have exaggeration due to the colomnustist that lures the indian cricket fans to read just like money phone indian cricket market like IPL●
I read the certained article that entitled,”Kohli’s quest for speed and fitness has tienes India’s quick into a lethal force “. In it i felt that it is written to impress indian media and the sheer indian cricket fans. Yes both S Pollack and G Smith have showered praise over the present indian pacers. But to have it the former indian southpaw seamer Ashish Nehra isn’t agree that it is the greatest fast bowling attack ever from the indian Test Cricket Field. Yes he says it is a very skillful pace attack but can’t say that the past legends like Kapil Dev,Kersen Gavri, Madan Lal Javagal Shree nath ,Venkatesh Prasad,Chetan Sharma, Zahir Khan were excellent with their art. Particularly Kapil and Shreenath were outstanding and Zahir Khan was not much far to these speedsters if we mind their feat , speed ,strike rate and average in comparison to the present Kohli’s era’s Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami , Umesh Yadav and extraordinary J Bumrah. Before Sunil Gavaskar’s era the game cricket was only a hobby or fondness and hadn’t the big professional approach. It was Sunny Gavaskar’ s enraged revolutionary voice that the ICC inclined and agreed to pay higher salary. It was Sunny Gavaskar’s high International stature that he used for the welfare of the cricketers who at that time survived only on the Board’s salary. That wasn’t the era of television and internet and with that the cricketers could amass big amount like Sachin and Kohli. Yeah only big players like Sunny and Kapil would preferred by the print media or advertisement field. Yes because of their high name and fame in the cricket world and among the common fans.And since then the remuneration sytem gone ended and contract system started as per the player’s merit and performance. And the sudden hype entered in the game of cricket particularly in Indian and particularly by the great professional cricketing mind by a business tycoon Lalit Modi who introduced IPL but before it ICL was started by Kapil Dev and company
But it was mirrored by an unauthentic body of indian cricket and to have financial point of view it was proven highly successful so ICC objected and banned it and the idea was snatched out and implemented by ICC through Lalit Modi’s high commercial approaching mind.And due to tele media entering in india and the world all commonly the ad world did active and used celebrities particularly the cricketers who made popularity graph higher than the film starts.And the financial hype made the middle class family belonged cricketers the millionaires and billionaires. The extra income sources made lured the cricketers to perform high. The entertainment format which is played at the night in the zero season here in india yes the summer in which there is do much heat on the day and the night is bit heater than the day not cricket fans but common people also thronged to enjoy the game as picnic.And the entrance of high corporate families due have the high income chances the common or ordinary cricketer has been auctioned by high contract money.
Yes here my quest and query due have these all to discuss the point of the South African cricketer greats S Pollock and G Smith. Yes who showered praise( e- allude)on the present Captain V Kohli’s and devils who accredited these height of indian speedsters to IPL. Due entering the commercialization minds the dimension of cricket arena widdened and the extra kind of department produced yes as physio staff, the coaches for bowling,batting and fielding , the manager , the head coach, the physical trainer staff,the physiatrists and councellors , pitch readers ,etc. We know the head coach cum manager Ravi Shastri is paid crores of salary as per contract . The average cricketers whose cricketing stature is in jeopardy yes Sheenivasan and company panel is paid high contracted amount while during their cricket actioned period got scanty money and due to poor performance side lined by the selectors.
Yes ultimately the question is- Is this pace attack is high indeed in comparison ? Perhaps not and according to me sure…but yes according to indian famous proverb ‘ It is better to have one eyed maternal uncle that not to have any maternal uncle.’ So we can bit agree that india has good bowling attack than the previous stalemates. Yes if we count the success only. In the indian condition the situation is harder than abroad. And to have this one of the greatest pacers of the world cricket Denis Lillee didn’t tour india. Here in the article describes about the legendary fastest due that their country cricket lovers used to chant the calllipso by intention to tease out their arch rival the visiting England’s cricketers that their spearhead speedsters would destroy yes by the line-“Ashes to Ashes , dust to dust ,if Thommu doesn’t get ya, Lillee must.” Here they mean the batsmen couldn’t escape from these two demons.
The question is –
Is the callipso true in the present indian pacers’ sense. As critic point of view nay , no.. why… because ..the duo of Lillee-Thompson is unequalled in the Test bowling history in the speedsters field. And to compare with these giants is extremely unlogical. Yes what the terror that two monsters had among the batsmen and at their will used to send batsmen in the pavilion or hospital. Ishant,Shami,Umesh,Bhuvnesh quartet hasn’t such a sharpness in speed as well as the stinginess that those two superb fasters. If we attend the figures and review since Kohli(2005( ascended the Test throne then the five pacers Including J Bumrah have taken 428 wickets in 52 Tests at the strike rate of 51.51 and named 16 times 5 wicket haul at the average of 25.54. At home they have shared 152 scalps in 26 Tests and away from home picked up 276 wickets in 26 Tests with 13 five -fors or five-fers. Against S Africa in the home series as the host in absence of world’s most leading genuine pacer J Bumrah did well job and along with spinner duo RR played equal role. The question is– as per the will the indian trio took S African’s batsmen’s wickets. No …..But …Yes …Why … Because the figures reveal the dim story that the indian pacers 25 wickets out of 56 . There were 60 wickets totally of 3 Test and 56 batsmen got out by the bowlers and three were made out through run out mode and one D Elger got retired hurt by a fatal short pitch delivery of Umesh Yadav. So it is cleared that out of 56 wickets 25 were shared by the pacers Ishant, Shami and Umesh and rest of 31by the etablished spinners duo and the debutant Nadeem too got 4 wickets . If we boast out the abundant performance of these 3 pacers then lanky Ishant ‘s performance is absolute monotonous because he could take only 2 wickets . M Shami and Umesh Yadav took 22 and 23 wickets respectfully. So the callipso hymn is mentioned in the article that Ashes to Ashes , dust to dust , if Thompson doesn’t get ya, Lillee must here in indian sense if you would spare of Shami will get by Umesh but what about the third Ishant who has to await and is called only if Umesh gets fail at the one end or Sham remains failure at the second end. Yes while there was at the Australian site only two pace men and empowered to dismiss at both the end through their sheering pace. Next query about the South African pace that has the number one bowler as K Rabada who is known for his genuine pace but saddened the cricket fans and could get only 7 wicket . It is so tragic that S Arica couldn’t make out india. Through out the 3 Test series only 25 wickets. And speedster like V Philander who one of most successive bowlers from S African site too desperated the fans. The third speedster L Ngidi could take only two wickets on his part. If we talk about the spin arena then the established spinners 27 wicket between two and even novice Nadeem too got 4 . In compare to it Protis could get 12 wickets . So overall difference is much high than the indian pacers or spinners. If we talk about the stature of spinners of both the teams then the indian spinners are world known and so successive while the S African spinners are average and same as in the pace department the height of Rabada and Philander is higher than indian trio if we observe out the bowling average or economy. But both couldn’t impact and deserted cricket lovers . What is the reason behind it ? Behind it the main reason is that indian batting line up is formidable and it has biggies like V Kohli, Rohit and Rahane. And its novice like M Agrawal too proven mammoth. Even other batters like Jadeja, Ashwin ,Saha showed the ample class. In this way we can say there were matches but alas no match against India. We know only Fef Duplisis , Decock and D Alger could show some class but partly and at the need remained fail. We know the team South Africa is passing through renaissance due to retirement of some biggies like H Amla, AB De villiers , D Styn and M Morkel and their bench isn’t heavy like india.The captaincy of Fef is also in the question for couple of the series. Ultimately I too praise indian pace bowling attack but they couldn’t have created out the terror like Waquar-Wasim or Lillee-Thompson or Imran ,McGrath or B Lee. Umesh Yadav has potential to generate extra sheer pace like Jofra Archer and Wahab Riaz but need accuracy that Wahab not kept for long though once he terrified through his pace. Jofra too horrified but soon couldn’t keep such a magic. Yes for the 1st time in the history of indian cricket the pacers enable to take take wickets during Kohli’s regime and he is lucky that extraordinary J Bumrah got in the team who created fear among opponents.
Congratulations Indian pacers …. as S Pollock and G Smith showered praise but they must have to criticise their team’s poor performance.
