He's already very good.
In India, he averages 24.83 which is a country that historically gives little assistance to seamers (and is very flat).

Honestly he does nothing for me. He could end up a good bowler but that's about it.
He was probably due this thread given how over-hyped he is.
Obviously he has the tools (exceptionally tall- more like 6'6" or 6'7" than the listed 6'3"- and sharpish), but I'm yet to see that he's either exceptionally accurate, canny/clever, or that he can even maintain his pace (from what I've seen his pace/rhythm are all over the place).

It's all the hair. He's been messing around with the hairstyle which has been causing him heaps of problems lately. It must be something to do with the Aerodynamics as he runs in.

FFS he is just 20 name one 20 year old who could make fool out of a Ponting or a Hussey.

This is a ridiculous comparison, Sharma is one of the most talented young quicks around in world cricket and some poor T20 outing doesn't change that, though I believe, that Sharma at this stage is a far better test bowler than a limited overs cricket bowler, but he is still very young and if he keeps his focus right, then he would only improve from here on.

Southee was 19 when he pwned Australia.

Just use the spiked-fringe look and be done with it FFS. All this bloody long hair rarely does any male any good.

And when he went for 110 runs in an ODI?

True, but consistently? And it was on a pretty helpful track wasn't it?
Sharma did it on a flat deck in Perth, and then on a flat deck in Mohali.

Curious as to:
a) what you have seen of him
b) which fast bowlers "do something for you"

I think I should have added the word consistently in my post Southee has been pretty crap apart from one or two good outings.

He is a solid Test match prospect. I'd be fine with dropping him in T20/ODI, and let him concentrate on that. That'd be ideal for me.
He's not an Agarkar though.

Myself, I'd be playing him every chance I got. Dropping him is no way to make him better at bowling in T20's or ODI's, if that's the intention.
Masterblaster with the best theory on why he's not been brilliant in all forms so far. Dude, pick a 'do and stick with it!
