Steven Finn Pat Cummings James Pattinson Marchant de Lange Umesh Yadav Who is the best right now and who has the most potential?
Never heard of Pat Cummings Marchant de Lange Umesh Yadav We've got so many good bowlers the only thing that bothers me is that many will never get a chance to shine in test cricket.
De Lange just won the SA newcomer of the year award. Pat Cummins is an immense talent who pretty much single-handedly bowled a massive underdog Aus to a test series draw against a far superior SA. Yadav is a good talent but India have a pretty poor talent pool of fast bowlers right now (particularly compared to eng or SA).
Unfortunately backed by a spate of bans and controversies, this best fast bowler had made a come back in the first Indian Premier League and had played for the Kolkata Knight Riders team. Currently he is released from the IPL contract due to an injury; reports say that the officials of the Kolkata Knight Riders are in talks with him for his come back to IPL.
Pattinson and Cummins for me. De Lange is mint too. Starc's pretty good too and then there's Alister McDermott, who's not quite as good as them. In fact, I think Australia have some of the best stocks of quicks in international cricket. It's only a matter of keeping them out of the medical ward. De Lange's strength must be immense. He just ambles up at barely more than walking speed and hardly has a run up yet delivers at a good speed touching 90. Dougie Bracewell wouldn't be out of place in that list considering his age.
From what i have seen of these bowlers 2 stood out for me, pattinson and de lange. If they can both stay injury free they should become some pretty destructive test bowlers
