Ideal conditions for pacers: Srinath

[King]

The seaming tracks and helpful conditions in Ireland, Scotland and England will be an ideal platform for India's speed merchants to showcase their skills, feels Javagal Srinath. More...

The Indian pacers will make or break the tour for India.. if they cant deliver , we dont stand a chance.. I expect better things from esp RP Singh ( if he plays tht is ).. For too long he has been this "exciting young bowler"... its time for him to tak some 5-fors and justify his place..

Speed merchants ?

[gator]

definitely as fast or faster than the english bowlers.... though selecting the tortoise Bose pulled us all down.... instead VRV should have been included.... Zak, RPS, Aggy, Sreesanth clock over 140 consistently.... on their side, there is only harmi.... plunkett, sidebottom, hoggy are all, fast medium bowlers...

[Ram]

Plunkett is over 140.. most of the times..

[Predator_05]

Only Sreesanth consistently bowls in the 140's. The others don't - not in Test cricket anyway. If ENG play Harmison, Plunkett and Anderson together, they will have a much faster (but not necessarily better) bowling attack.

[Ram]

will flintoff be fit in time for the test matchs ?? hope not..

[gator]

IIRC, RPS was clocking more consistently over 140....

[King]

England is one place where pace won't really matter. Guys like Sidebottom and the rest rule. I think guys like Bose, RPS and the rest will not be too bad as long as they can bowl in the right areas.

[King Tendulkar]

england bowling attack will be sydebottom, harmisson and hoggard. thus i think we will have the faster attack.

[Chandan]

Srinath is forgetting that we'll be playing in the later summer and the pitches won't seam then!!

[King]

One word I want to remind everyone "Sammy" :P

[ludhianvi]

I think we might miss Munaf. He would have been an asset in Tests in English conditions. Btw, is Munaf injured or he just did not get a spot in Tests?

[Rahul]

Plunkett is over 140.. most of the times..

and he has been shyte throughout this series--an unwinnable contest between super pacer harmy and plunky to figure out who can thulp the second slip...
