Nikhil_cric Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) The sad thing is even with the lack of height and speed, none of these guys are anywhere near accurate enough either. That's the thing with a country like Australia. No matter what else their bowlers lack, they produce so many bowlers who can hit the seam on the right line and length. From those who played int'l cricket after McGrath 1. Stuart Clark 2. Ryan Harris 3. Josh Hazlewood 4. Siddle 5. Boland 6. Jackson friggin Bird 7. James Pattinson 8. Chadd Sayers England are catching up too. Jimmy, Broad and especially Ollie are much more consistent than any of our bowlers. Not sure why we can't produce metronomes of high quality regardless of speed and release height. Edited June 23 by Nikhil_cric Link to comment

Most of the bowlers you listed mostly focused on Test cricket , our bowlers play every format and IPL hence they never really develop to be metronomes. Jack of all trades master of none fits very well to our bowlers and batsmen. Link to comment

More than anything,these were the same bowlers barring Siraj who have been playing test cricket since 2012/13 Bharat Arun started doing the hard yards with these guys and turned the same guys into a world-class unit If you remember Ishant was quite toothless before 2015,county stint helped him but it was also due to Arun taking the charge and one can clearly see the difference once he left Arun,even played Tyagi in one of preparatory tour game in Australia 20/21,he was allowed to travel along with Team India,it looked he had an eye on someone like him Link to comment
