Ishant Sharma vs Stuart Broad - Test bowler

[GotSpin]

Think Roach has more potential than either tbh.

 

[Teja.]

Roach and Aamer IMO are the future ATG pacers, Ishant and Broad will end up, at best, statistically as good as Gillespee, at worst The Zaheer Khan level.

 

[TumTum]

Such as???

I even rate Siddle as a better bowler than Broad

 

[Xuhaib]

Roach will be the best fast bowler in the world in3 years time.Regular 145+,good outswing,mean bouncer and a wicket yorker.

Control lacks a bit but accuracy comes with age tbh.

Siddle is actually a very good bowler.

Siddle is actually a very good bowler.

Siddle is utterly hopeless when he's unfit and drops his pace. Needs to be bowling mid 140s

yes lets judge a bowler when he is unfit.

 

[GotSpin]

Ok, what I meant to say is that I don't feel Siddle is a very good bowler when he's not bowling at top speeds. As soon as his pace drops so does the quality of his bowling, regardless of match fitness.

Still better than Broad then?

Didn't say he was or wasn't. Just pointing out he suffers when his pace drops

 

[Stapel]

That spell was hardly impressive. And since when does 1 spell decide how good a bowler is?

That spell was mighty impressive! It's really hard to argue with that!
What I like about Broad is that he indeed is NOT a great bowler, but a decent bowler with the odd great spell.

Ashes winning spell isn't impressive but somehow hughes eight ball duck is not a bad innings. You really have lopsided standards.

 

[TumTum]

Aha you guys are hilarious, that spell at the Oval was just a fluke, yes just a fluke there I said it, any other day and he would not have got those wickets. The fact remains is that he bowled **** all through-out his career and most part of the Ashes, and you guys think he is a good bowler of just 1 lucky spell

He has never troubled any batsmen and never will, one of the most useless bowlers in a long time.

Complete drivel. Was it further fluke when he ran through the South African middle order at Durban too? The 6fer at Headingley a fluke as well? Broad bowled beautifully at The Oval. It wasn't a fluke spell, there was obvious thought behind that spell. He dropped his pace a few MPH and focused on bowling a consistent line and length which was noticeably fuller than the length he had been bowling for most of the series. He got the ball to move in the air, and off the pitch and bowled some absolute beauties. The one to Haddin was a jaffer for example.

Not worth it,this guy is obviously on a piss take and won't see what is staring him straight in the face.

Siddle was one of the bowlers I was thinking of. Aamer and Roach are others. I don't think you can really claim either Broad or Ishant are 'just babies in tests' either. They've both played 20+ tests and been around the team for a few years.

 

[akilana]

M Morkel the same age as Siddle. M Morkel is better than these all.

 

[Noble One]

Shahadat Hossain making some noise as the best young pace-bowler .

 

[Matt79]

M Morkel the same age as Siddle. M Morkel is better than these all.

Not sure about that, but would agree that Morkel would be another one to be mentioned as potentially ahead of either Broad or Ishant.

How old is Dale Steyn compared to Broad or Ishant?

Edit: Steyn nearly 27, Broad nearly 24, and Ishant nearly 22.
