Those are exactly the virtues you will not find in the best strike bowler in India at the moment. He gives the impression of just strolling in; his feet barely leave the ground as he loads up in his work. Since more than once tennis is on the front foot, it all gives the impression of a lack of pace. And rarely combines delivery wicketkeeper with his fingers to rise, and so gets bounce is not tangible.
At first glance, Bhuvneshwar Kumar does not have a quality that is likely to catch the fancy layman. But to know the real wealth, you need to stand at the other end with the bat in your hand. That's when you realize how one of the most benign appearance bowlers is also one of the most difficult to handle, especially if he has a new ball and the pitch has a little assistance for seamers.
And that's what makes Bhuvneshwar a serious threat?
Bowling near the stumps and work on the arm high
Bhuvneshwar approach to the crease reminds me of a Shaun Pollock large. Just like South Africa, and he gets really close to the stumps. The closest bowler gets stumps, and it gets tougher hitter, because there are less obvious angles to play with. The ball is always in line with the stumps line, which means that the hitter has no choice but to play at most deliveries.
If the completion of the positioning of the crease with the work arm high, as is the case for Bhuvneshwar, and the problems multiplied: you, the hitter, you can not play inside or outside the line of the delivery as you do for someone bowling with a round arm or from a wide range of wrinkle.
For example, if Lasith Malinga bowling from close to the stumps with the new ball, the batsman playing right outside the line of PAL, assuming that the ball will swing away from him. Similarly, you are playing inside the line while facing Makhaya Ntini to account for the sharp angle he created by bowling from the edge of the penalty area.
Strong position wrist
The best way to swing the ball in the air and get lateral movement off the deck is to release the ball with the seam bolt upright. And more seam is still in the air, the better the chances that it will not deviate only in the air but also hit the pitch on the seam and dart around. While it seems very simple in theory, it is very difficult to implement, to Lhvaz the seam upright at the point of release, the wrist needs to be strong and also right behind the ball. This is what has Bhuvneshwar, and control enormous him on his wrist allows him to not only release the ball with the seam upright but also allows him to make minor changes (such as pointing it towards the slips or leg Fine) by tilting the wrist to move the ball both ways. If you are able to do so with control, and will trouble the best tennis.
Full-length
Bhuvneshwar not have Umesh Yadav pace and bounce of Ishant Sharma. What it does have is to understand the importance of striking along the right time and time again. He realized that since his strength is the movement, he needs to pitch that much fuller, longer the ball stays in the air, the better the chances of it moving. Also, it's the length that the batsmen, especially openers, and hatred in the early part of the innings. Bhuvneshwar is not afraid of being hit through the line and quality allows him to find the edges often, because it is not possible for the batsmen to keep always in moderation ball when swinging.
While the match between West Indies and India is likely to remember for a century scintillating Ferrat Cooley, not mentioning that the wave of bowling quality through Bhuvneshwar be a grave injustice, to Chris Gayle, Darren Bravo and Kieron Pollard - Campaign tennis sacked - it was the ability to change shape, Perhaps as a result, of the game.
