Kharoti doesn't vary his pace at all. Almost every ball is around 85km/h.

It is admittedly a small sample but at least in IPL Suthar ranks very high for all three of dip, turn (@dweplea noted this in real time IIRC) and drift at higher speeds.

Not much between their FC records, both can bat, Suthar was also selected for India A before Dubey.

@BainsTheory Tongue is similar but he bowled some great spells in hundred. Iirc he also possess a good slower ball

[Shivam @Surf_ExcelSheet]

@BainsTheory He is a wicket taker for sure with movement and bounce but line control can be a real issue with him. He can be an elite powerplay wicket taker but at his pace, it will go for plenty if his line is off.

The worst thing you can do if you want to work in cricket media is trying to watch it like a professional, you will overcomplicate it. watch it like a fan, if you want to analyse think from player's perspective and how they are doing what they are.

I learnt it the hard way.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi just said on Hindi feed that he is practicing quite a bit with red ball, and that people haven't seen him bat with it. "Test cricket hi khelna hai mujhe" - he said! Then adds how much it means to his father that he plays Tests. The Kid is coming, Test cricket

@dweplea His strike rotation and spin play is v good. And he's a lefty. How do you see AUS's top 7 shape up for the WC next year with no smith, maxwell + marnus in such poor form.

[Shivam @Surf_ExcelSheet]

As @dweplea said, england cooking with their future batters. So many talented players

[Lancashire Cricket @lancscricket]

Sublime way to reach your first @VitalityBlast half-century! 🤩

Well batted, Mooresy 👏

This year Vaibhav has accumulated better than peak Kohli, struck better than peak Russell, hit sixes better than peak Gayle, carried his team harder than peak Warner and clutched knockouts better than peak Raina. How absurd is that?
