If anyone luk at the overs bhuveneshwar kumar bowled, u can understand that he was mostly used during the first half and that is not the case of ishant sharma and vinay kumar...when we compare the number of times bhuvi, ishant and vinay bowling the last overs we can see that both ishanth and vinay bowled very much more overs in the last 10 than bhuvi...when doing comparison of performances everyone should take these matters also into considerations... Now if u compare u will get a better picture of ishant's performance....also dhoni uses ishant as a partnership breaker most of the times and proved right in many occasions including in champions trophy final...pls don't forget those things....
How u feel, Ishant getting much more chances in Indian squad and now need to replace him immediately with perform base bowlers. Ishant Sharma is capable to play gully cricket. I don't see a hopeless bowler like him and very surprise that how any experience bowler bowl like this? only because of him Indian lost his ODI in Mohali.

zak is finished. he will come and bowl for two matches, and then back on bench with injuries. we should not invest on him any more.
charts given above are not justified as they even compared bawling of par- time bawlers.He is to be compared with specialist fast bawler who suppose to open the inning and doing bawling in the lase overs.moreover when harbhajan singh can be out why not ISHANT SHARMA.H should be giver some rest and chance to improve his performance.
dhoni knows better than any of the so called pundits writing these columns....ishant is used by dhoni mainly to pick crucial wickets...which he does mostly...Indian people are so na and short memoried...everybody forgets the first 7 overs of ishant in the last match in which he bowled well....also remember Faulkner himself bowled an over of 21 runs but everyone has forgotten that...shows lack of cricketing insights.......
True Indian fans decide anything and everything on the basis of one bad or good performance immediate past.But that last performance is a nail the coffin for Ishant Sharma and he is a failed commodity. Reasons given below 1) For any fast bowler, England Australia are favourable places. Even the likes of Agarkar, Rp Singh have performed well in those conditions. However, Ishant played 8 test matches in England and Australia and miserably failed ( he failed in India too facing the same oppositions in the test matches that followed)not mention his failure in the following ODI serieses in both the countries. It does not make sense, to have a fast bowler in the team who cannot perform in favourable conditions. If a fast bowler cannot perform in favourable conditions, will he ever perform in Indian pitches. 2) From the time Ishant has made his debut for India, his performances have been dropping rather than improving. We can clearly say, he is a failed commodity, his averages terrible for a fast bowler like him. Indian team is no zimbabwean team to have players like him
Dear dhoni, as long as I remember I never seen ishant perform economically. He dosn't deserve another chance. If he needs to prove himself then put him in India A team.
