i remember Umran doing silly **** like this 2 years back too, then he lost the plot

got to be wary of the hype
Both these guys have really good actions. Umran especially is very strong through the crease. Hope someone experienced takes them under their wing; wouldn't hurt for them to be at least around someone like Bumrah.

Tbf with Umran there were plenty of people including me that were skeptical because his radar was visibly wayward.

Mayank looks quite accurate, definitely more exciting prospect imo.

Obviously a potential test call up is wayyy too premature but don’t mind him in a few hit and giggle bilateral LOs if he gets through this IPL season ok. Our pipeline there is quite concerning.

Our selectors don’t really fast track anyone for Tests these days which is good. The days of Varun Aaron and Karn Sharma are hopefully behind us.

tbf yeah, our white ball pace lineup sucks after the usuals. like Bumrah it would be wise if he gains international experience there for a year or 2 before getting his test intro

Does he have any FC experience?
has 1 match

Mayank is with Delhi and they’re a shitshow organisation wise but at least he has Ishant Sharma there for guidance

Umran with Jammu and Kashmir is the real worry and it may be why he hasnt progressed much

Mayank's action will at least direct the ball straight when he's not in rhythm, the same can't be said for Umran's, which is rather slingier. Looks a little less likely to snap in half too IMO, but you can't rule out back injuries to anyone of that pace

I think unless we have a good series of FC games from Mayank he's not going to play in Australia. Taking wickets in T20s isn't the same as taking wickets in Tests. He has to show he can actually do the latter before being considered.
everyone said the same about bumrah 10 years ago

For every Bumrah (actually he’s pretty much the only anomaly) there are tons of negative examples.

Bumrah also had more than 1 FC game and had a decent body of LO work.

Thakur is quicker than that, give him some credit
How much more quicker will trouble batsmen? Even if he bowls 135 kmph, still batsmen are not going to be troubled however Venkatesh Prasad had his men with leg cutters at 125 kmph. Sean Tait was tearaway but gave it in a slot. Line and length matters. Do you know Zaheer Khan's 130s kmph with swing was more lethal than his occassional 140 kmph?
