I'm a medium pacer who comes in to bat in the lower order/tail. I can bowl either medium pace or spin but I prefer medium pace over spin. I'm a fairly decent and agressive bowler who likes a bit of sledging. As a batsman I'm a bit inconsistent but I can hit the ball a fair distance and love hitting sixes more than anything else. Due to my knack of hitting sixes, I'm used as a pinch hitter sometimes. I'm not a very athletic player and not so quick in running between the wickets so I deal mostly in boundaries. I have a safe pair of hands but my ground fielding is quite average. I'm working hard to get fit so that I can overcome my shortcomings in cricket and improve as a player.

Finally, an honest description that doesn't say
"BRADMAN AND WARNE AT TEH SAMEEEE TIMEEE :D:D:D:thumbs:thumbs:D:D:mad:D"

I'm a quick away swing bowler, about 6 foot 5, and have an array of slower balls (at least four) that I can confidently use in a match situation. I can also subtly vary the amount I swing the ball by altering the seam position, which I believe is quite unusual. Due to my height, I can get steepling bounce, particularly useful when the ball stops swinging.

With the bat, I have some ability, but nothing to back it up with. I've slid gradually down the order and don't really have anything to say it isn't a move in the right direction. When I'm playing well, though, I can flick balls from outside off through the leg side, and belt it over cover. Otherwise, I block and prod unconvincingly.

In the field, I work hard and usually have a safe pair of hands. I have a bit of a knack of taking spectacular catches, although I sometimes drop quite straightforward ones. My ground fielding is solid, and my height means I have good reach. I'm not fast across the ground, but do have an absolute bullet arm.

I'm also only 16 next week, so I have plenty of time to work on things like my batting.
 
An opening batsman who approaches the game in a very defensive manner.Thats the reason i couldnt get any big chances these days and i quit it.I have played for 14 years.In the very beginning like 8 years back,i got many chances with 50 overs and 3 day matches in many tournaments but halted cricket in the middle to concentrate on my 10th and 12th.After that i returned back just to see my place being kicked out as i approaches T20 in the only way i knew and scored 2* of 42 balls in aT20 game after which i was reserved for the longer forms.But many T20s only occur and i need to wait very long to play the longer form and finally i quit playing cricket.My childhood dream was to become a cricketer.I grew up watching Dravid's batting and also a big fan of Sunil Gavaskar.I try to emulate Dravid while i bat.Also i field at 1st slip and occasionally keep too.Can bowl leg spin but just decided not to bowl because Dravid doesnt bowl.
 
Started playing cricket as an off-spinner and a middle order bat. This was the Under-12/Under-15 state days..

University and senior leagues, I opened and bowled off-spin. Quit playing cricket for the last 3-4 years and back to playing the game. Hoping to get back to opening :yes! Let's see how this goes..

Nice try.

Nobody bowls 128 k's at 14, and if so they would be considered rapid, not medium pace.

I can't bowl that pace and I am 18.

so you are the main wicket keeper who bowls yorkers at 128 kmph at the age of 14. How come you aren't representing India yet?

Hey dude you know I bowl those when I am really frustated.When I am frustated the line and length goes wrong.So I prefer not to bowl too quick.One of my friend bowls even quicker than that at the age of 16.He bowls almost at 130.But not consistantly.

I dont bowl now because of fitness issues.Even if I bowl I maybe around 60-70 kph now.Dont know I havent measured my pace since all my injuries.While batting I had got hit by a beamer all the way on the index finger.
 
all-rounder... plays for Gauteng North (bats 1 and bowls 3) and bats 9 and doesnt bowl for school:facepalm my coach :noway he threatened to drop me because my shirt wasnt tucked in :lol
 
Swaraj chats -------- if you see most of his comments would you get a feeling why is he not on espn or called up for under14/16/17 cricket team(and should obviously be known on google :p)? tbh all his comments are full of ----ness.

I am more of a Medium pacer who can bowl to 52 mph.
