Yorkers, well directed bouncers, slower delivery, low full toss, slower bouncer .. mixing these up with line and length deliveries - creating uncertainty in the batsmens mind as to what the next delivery will be, and not being predictable.

add here the advise for batsman, 'play the ball on its merits-punishing bad deliveries, staying at the wkt-runs vl come automatically(!),
Yes Munaf is not in the loop yet I feel Munaf/R.P.Singh should be able to perform better in shorter versions of the game. Zaheer is a rhythm bowler, so there need to be a backup plan. R.P.Singh / Munaf Patel fit perfectly in that. Further they are adept in bowling death overs.
I am a Mumbai Indian fan, but I still feel that this guy is a complete waste of a buy for KKR. If as a fast bowler he cant bowl in the begining and at the end...than a stand alone bowler is no good & he cant even bat. Most middle over bowlers are great batsmen...please remove him and add one more batsmen if not a bowler and whoever he shall be will do a better job than Ishant...he is a complete looser...! and is now blaming KKR!
If you want to 'Lobby' for Ishant you can very well do so. Why belittling 'Knight riders' and their 'Dressing Room'.
If 'Ishant' could not perform because of controversies, that had no connection to him - in the dressing room, how can he be expected to take pressure.
Perhaps understanding this aspect of his personality... you would advice him to be used in the 'Middle Overs' when all other 'Fool' of a bowlers would have had taken the beating from the openers.
In fact, when is a 'Speedster' required in this form of 'Cricket'? It is in the beginning isn't it?
And your statement that 'Ishant has found a Captain and a Dressing room that brings out the best in him' bares it all.
At times it would seem successful players are those like 'Ishant' who have great skill in putting the blame on 'Dressing Room' and 'Vests and Briefs' they wear and make gullible public believe.
It high time they change and start working really hard for the money we spend on them, lest other uncomplaining youngsters with real skills occupy their place, despite their 'Dressing room' blame games.
Look at Lasith malinga the way he bowls during the death overs... man.. yorkers one behind the other & the slower one as well, above all he keeps cool .... I think in the current breed malinga is the best in the final over

Malinga is good in his own style. He is so different from conventional fast bowler. Don't expect the same from Ishant Sharma. I would rather wish Ishant Sharma to be like Glen McGrath. Such an elegant action and ridiculous accuracy.
