PACE (whats needed)

[kingviv]

I have read quite a bit people on the forum saying people like,mpofu,rainsford,nicholson,panyangara,chatara bieng able to bowl 83mph which in my opinion is good wheels but thats not sharp at all.
what we need is people who can (move) the ball

1- swing like hoggard,steyn,anderson,z khan vaas is very good at that pace
2- seam the ball like mcgrath,pollock,broad,
3-even steyn said this you can give up pace for consistency all the above bowlers were/are mcgrath pollock were top of the league with ambrose

now if you can get a Lee,donald,akthter,holding now thats genuine pace that if he manages to swing at that pace 88,90+mph u in bussines.

our bowlers need to move the ball to trouble high quality batters like ponting,kallis,dravid,de velliers if he is consistent he shouldn't play
send him back to the franchise.
but i must admit it all looks well set for a good pace attack add the help they'll get now from AD,STREAKY,DIZZY hope they develop.
my top 4 seamers will be..MPOFU,PANYANGARA,RAINSFORD,CHATARA...
ELTY will still bowl but he will bat mo

Well have seen Chitara bowling,he has the promise and all the ingredients for a really good bowler.his development is important for zim test chances.he can get some musscles in few years and can increase his pace a bit.he has good out swing and gets good bounce.one to carry on zim fast bowling in future.

Well I think our pace attack has different catagories.

Seam/Swing:
Elton Chigumbura
Andy Blignaut
Keegan Meth
Nathan Waller

Quick-er bowlers:
Ed Rainsford
Shingrai Mazakadza
Chris Mpofu
Ian Nicholson

The quicker men:
Kyle Jarvis
Tinasche Panyangara
Tendai Chitara
Gerald Aleseni

Now in my opinion the guys in the end column should just focus on bowling quick ! These guys have the potential to be like the Holdings, the Akrams etc, and in my opinion every side needs atleast two genuinely quick bowlers in the squad.

The men in the middle column have still got pace, but more towards the pace of James Anderson say, who can move the ball. That's who these men should be aspiring to be like. They too have the tools to bowl genuinely quick, but not as quick perhaps as the guys in the last column.

So all in all i think our battery of pace has all the necessary tools to be a potent attack in the future. It has pace, swing, seem and more importantly, time

Andy Blignaut was a really quick bowler once.so is he no more that pace bowler.

That's exactly why I put him in the seam swing category.....?
