[crajkumar_be]

100 meters sprint oda sonna madhiri oduvaan :evil: ottatha vida ball slow-a varum

[crajkumar_be]

Thomson, side-arm, slighta javelin throw madhiri irukkaradha nyabagam.. not like Malinga though

Wijegunawardene (Asia cup vs India 88/89).. remember the batsmen getting dosconcerted by the run up... Vadivel "manabraandhi" comedy la oruthan "ponnaarummmm.... poovarummmm" nu ingittum angittum thullu kudhichu oduvaan.. athoda faster version, IIRC...


Abdul Qadir = Tea master + hindustani classical + triple jump

How about Madanlal?

Remember Richards was puzzled once, as to why he (Madanlal) had to run so far to bowl spin? :rotfl:


Mohinder Amarnath?

Will run for a while, then jog/walk in between.

[Nerd]

Arshad Ayub had the most elegant bowling style for an off-spinner. And is it Rajesh Chauhan who starts his run up from mid-off?

[ajithfederer]

Shane Bond had an easy on eye rhtymic bowling action.

:lol: MA had a very lazy action. His action is a very classic English county cricketer medium pace-ish action! MA's gentle seam/swing bowling was very deadly for English conditions! 8-)

Idhe "tea master" bowling action-uhh model panni innoruthar vera (Mushtaq Ahmed)! :rotfl:

[Movie Cop]

Indian spinners of the 80's had some weird actions! Ravi Shastri, Maninder Singh, Shivlal Yadav all did a bit of "yoga" before releasing the ball! :lol:
Even Kapil Dev's bowling action was weird! His bowling action was the worst among the famous "fab 4" of the 80's! :oops:

Military medium slow pace.
Yes, was very effective in getting us the 1983 WC (MOM in both the SF & F).

:lol: :lol:

Sinna pullaila it was fun imitating batsmen and bowlers.
(Azhar na i would attempt to play the wristy flick even if the ball was a long hop wide outside off stump)

One of my friends use to imitate Maninder Singh's action (imitation naale konjam exaggeration dhaane). Before delivery, Maninder used to keep both his palms above the head. My friend wouldn't stop with that and he would circle the imaginary umpire like that around the stumps in the same posture and then bowl the ball.
A modified version of Rajini walking around his "mom" and clapping in "Kaattu kuyilu" song in Thalabadhi :lol:

[crajkumar_be]

Why has nobody mentioned slow-ball specialist B.K Venkatesh Prasad?

[directhit]

Sinna pullaila it was fun imitating batsmen and bowlers.
(Azhar na i would attempt to play the wristy flick even if the ball was a long hop wide outside off stump) :lol: my bowling started off imitating Lance Klusener and stayed the same way till i last played proper cricket

Seeing Tanvir reminds me of my friend who had almost the exact same action years before. aana avan bowling easy aa read pannuvom

One of the very few greatest rhythm bowlers.

[crajkumar_be]

[steveaustin]

What about Gladstone Small???
With his no-neck appearance :( made his bowling something different.

Phil Defreitas of England

[crajkumar_be]

Fanie De Villiers (Sashin was his bunny :oops: ), didn't use his non-bowling arm much

Shaun Pollock : At the point of release, rendu kai, rendu kaal, ellaam ovvoru direction la irukkum... Somewhat like Natraja pose

Yeah Donald had a great action

Steve A - That's what I was referring to... May be it's just me but I did find Kapil's bowling action a little weird. He starts off with his run up well but when he approaches the crease he starts doing his thing of holding both his palms together and does the soap thechufaying thing! :oops:

Shaving Cream adkku thaane varuvaaru?
Soapkkum vaanthaara enna?

But I liked his action.

[steveaustin]

Shaving Cream adkku thaane varuvaaru?
Soapkkum vaanthaara enna?

But I liked his action.

He came only for shaving cream and not for soap. IMO, if cricket is so popular in India it is only because of him. Others might have contributed but Kapil's contribution is too huge and to beat the real champs like West Indies you need singlemindedness and courage. Whenever India in dire straits, he only brought India out of trouble most of times than any other cricketer in their career. Look at his great knocks. Every one came at the crucial time and most of them were match winning ones. He is the true crisis man.

[crajkumar_be]

As i was saying to PR, LM, HR and Rama the other day, Kapil Dev, with all due respect to him and his feats, is overrated :yessir:

[steveaustin]

CR,
That's your opinion. No problem for me. Don't run away. You can stay here. :P

[omega]

As i was saying to PR, LM, HR and Rama the other day, Kapil Dev, with all due respect to him and his feats, is overrated :yessir:

I don't think so. If not for the dead pitches that we have/had, he could have had a much better record (contribution). He looks a natural cricketer (atleast to me). Whatever he does, it seems to come easily to him.

But, I agree that he wasted his batting abilities, with thoughtless application.

His last couple of years was pathetic (sticking on to get past Richard Hadlee).

[crajkumar_be]

Thappa nenaikka vendaam. I agree. In fact, no matter how precarious the situation is for India in a particular day, avar mugatha paatha oru nambikkai varum. No two ways about it. Enga enaku problem na... ok, too much is being made out of that world cup win.
Anyway, namma thread ilakku veru, dhisai thirumbaamal sellovum, sorry :oops: :lol2:
