Answer 2

Full name Ramesh Rajaram Powar
Born May 20, 1978, Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra
Current age 28 years 118 days
Major teams India, Indian Board President's XI, Mumbai, Rajasthan Cricket Association President's XI
Batting style Right-hand bat
Bowling style Right-arm offbreak

A stocky offspinner who is more than handy with the bat, Ramesh Powar has been a consistent performer in domestic cricket for the last four seasons, and was crucial to Mumbai's Ranji Trophy success in the 2002-03 season. His 20 wickets with his flighted stuff was useful enough, but even more crucial was the runs he contributed. He never batted higher than No. 7 - sometimes going in as low as No. 10 - but ended up with the second-highest aggregate for Mumbai in the tournament, scoring 418 runs at more than 46, with most of those runs coming when his team was in strife. His domestic exploits soon caught the selectors' notice, and he made to the Indian squad for the tour to Pakistan. Both his offspin and his batting stood the test in the couple of one-day internationals he played, but even more impressive was his combative attitude, as he bravely tossed the ball up on batting shirtfronts, and didn't bat an eyelid while striking some lusty blows against the pace of Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami. An ideal bits-and-pieces player, Powar returned to the one-day side early in 2006, now armed with a new delivery - a drifter - which helped him to 63 domestic wickets in 2005-06, after 54 the previous season. Again he impressed with both bat and ball, although some critics made disparaging remarks about his waistline, causing him to tempt fate: "I've never missed a game owing to fitness problems." Almost inevitably, he then twisted an ankle and missed the first two ODIs in the West Indies in June 2006.

Answer 3

Ramesh Powar is deemed to be an all rounder with his teaser pace off spin bowling and hard hitting late order batting. Though he has created some imression for his bowling but not much is yet seen on his hard hitting abilities.

Answer 4

got to cricinfo.com then type Ramesh Powar in the search box which is located at the bottom of the hame page.

Answer 5

He looks like a cricket ball himself. Measures 40 inches at the max dia area and tapers down to nothing where the head is supposed to be.

Answer 6

Ramesh Powar is that rare thing: the genuinely slow bowler, someone whose bowling never quite "arrives". One knows that Powar is a tease even before he rolls his arm over: the substantial Powar waistline, the zany red Powar sunglasses, the glimmer of a Powar grin that appears on the ten-step Powar gambol to the wicket, all convey to the batsman the air of a seriously unserious cricketer having a bit of a lark. But there is no harm in all this. Spin bowling, after all, is basically about subterfuge.

But beneath the air of the court jester is a seriously good off-spin bowler. Powar's lack of speed (he bowls under 50 mph; as comparison, Harbhajan Singh bowls at around 55) has little to do with the speed of his arm and everything to do with how high he tosses the ball up. This makes it difficult to play him from the crease, not just because he gives you so little pace to work with but also because he gets bounce from flight.

Batsmen have to come down the pitch to "fetch" him, which is of course just what he wants (the dismissal of Andrew Flintoff today, stumped, was an example of how Powar exasperates batsmen). In the warm-up game at Jaipur last weekend, Powar bowled 10 overs for 35 for the Rajasthan President's XI. Twelve of these runs came from the two times batsmen succeeded in hitting him for six; from his other 58 deliveries, he conceded 23 runs; the batsmen were scarcely able to get him away at all.

At Faridabad today it was fascinating to watch his tussle with Kevin Pietersen, who possesses the most intimidating forward stride to spin bowling in international cricket today. Powar's tactic, as always, was the traditional spinner's gambit: to invite the drive by tossing the ball high and then beat the stroke by making it dip.

Early on he got Pietersen to strike out at a ball, without control, in this fashion, but the resultant chance was put down by the fielder running in from long-on (however, Powar could hardly complain, having just spilled the simplest of caught-and-bowled chances). After that Pietersen gave him a bit more respect, and chose to go after the other spinners. It was what they call a moral victory, though the moral of such victories always is that other kinds of victories are much more preferable.

The other thing to note about Powar is how close he gets to the stumps. His last stride onto the bowling crease is a hop to the right, so that when he pivots over his braced left leg to bowl, his foot is right in line with off-stump. This means he really does bowl "stump-to-stump", unlike Harbhajan, who bowls from much wider on the crease.

The long spell that the two spinners bowled in tandem today gave one a chance of setting them off against each other. Typically, Powar aims to direct the ball "out" away from the right-hander in flight, before getting it to pitch and spin back to hit off- or middle-stump. In contrast, because of where he bowls from on the crease, Harbhajan not only spins it in to the right-hander but also angles it in in the air.

Powar's bowling has more interesting lines and angles - but Harbhajan, of course, makes up for all this with his doosra, without which, one sometimes thinks, he would be a rather pedestrian bowler. But Powar looks like a bowler ideal for the longer version of the game. It is not an age for old-fashioned cricketers, but it would be a discourtesy to his skill if this opportunity comes his way later rather than sooner.
