I wish they'd show a proper angle of the delivery. As I said when he was bowling back in the West Indies against Australia it seems pretty improbable that he's legitimately bowling 75mph so regularly, particularly given his history.

I wonder what a CW member's IPL team would look like. Let's start a feature on that, shall we?

Real lack of overseas quality. Can’t tell me there isn’t an Indian who could do what Marlon Samuels does – fail with the bat and bowl no frills darts. The only thing the Indian wouldn’t be able to do is “bowl” that 120kph quicker one without getting into to some bother. Parnell at 3, non-hitting Australians in the middle order, just Mickey Mouse.

Seriously. Looking at so many signings and team selections, we wonder, do they really think Indians can't play T20 cricket at all? Plenty of Indians who can do at least what these blokes (and a few others) can, but the IPL franchises seem to think otherwise. And they beg for more overseas players in the XI.

Finally a pair of batsman have decided to bat properly - It's been a pretty weak start to the tourny, hasn't it? I don't confess to watching it all though.

It's because bowlers are doing well and we haven't seen a high profile run chase or a 175+ target with a big innings. Not that I'm complaining but people mostly come in for the big shots, not bowlers bowling sides out for 100 odd lol.

Pretty convinced he throws his quicker one. On the fence with his stock delivery.

Back in the good old days (circa 2008) he was actually reported for it. Remember when umpires had spines? Sigh.

There are good Indian fast bowlers to have in the IPL though and not just the likes of RP Singh, Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan and Ishant Sharma.

Yadav, Aaron, Vinay Kumar, Amit Singh (action pending), Trivedi, Dinda, Abu Nechim, S Aravind, to name a few, are all more than competent bowlers in the format.
