"He is dangerous ... "

Well we are not talking about any explosive here ... we are talking about Ishant Sharma ... and those words came from non-other than Ricky Ponting ... In his very first tour of Australia ... he came back home with praise of all cricket guru ... everyone is saying he is the future of Indian pace (at last now we can call) attack ... He delivered the fastest ball (153.0 kph) ever delivered by any Indian Cricket pace bowler after Ashish Nehra (against Zimbabwe in 2003 world cup, 149.7 kph).

Whenever any sportsman get in fame ... media and all guru of respective game started to compare with the legends. Sachin was compared with Sir Donald Bradman and this time Ishant compared with the most gentle and respected fast bowler of cricket world ... Javagal Srinath, someone even compared Ishant to Curtly Ambrose. But this is all the matter when a new kid come to the block.

So at last country which was famous for the top batsman and spinner, got a sheer pace bowler as well. The best thing about Ishant is ... he is a very quick learner and composed ... he come to his run up with some tricks and deliver them ... he again go back to the run up with some tricks and delivered ... he again do the same thing ... and at last batsman give up and throw his wicket to him ... He is really a big discovery for Indian cricket in this down under tour ...
