Time to change some ways- 6 ft 5 bowlers please

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Will_fortunes_swing_in_bowlers_favour/rssarticleshow/2918083.cms It seems the success with the duke ball and kookaburra has not been replicated properly with the SG ball at home. seems strange considering 10 years ago prasad and srinath had significant successes vs the pakistani batting with reverse swing. why are the other bowlers cluleless now? there are a number of conditions that won't support swing bowling. its time to to look at the option of bowling ishant and pankaj together at home. the line and length and the bounce generated by 6ft 5 bowlers always presents a different ballgame for the batsmen.i am confident this is the way to go especially when swing is taken off. Ishant is the only one who provides genuine pace anyway. hope pankaj can improve likewise. This 5 bowler strategy is killing our cricket. It is shallow thinking unltd. there is no guarantee a extra bowler is more effective or attacking. its a figment of someone's wild imagination. 100 mediocres won't equal one champion. There needs to be a premium on quality. 4 quality bowlers are the key And pls rely on specialists alone. The team management is being stupid whenever it uses pathan above 8. let pathan just hold a bowler's position and provide some useful batting at times. to sacrifice a specialist is incredibly stupid and harmful move that will derail any chances of improvement. Allrounders like pollock or afridi have not taken pak or SA to the top. why is our team management so blind? australia does not have one bowling allrounder and for decades altogether. if this cluelessness continues, i wish pathan goes back to ranji. and the attitude of the batsmen on the first day needs to be condemned. they should have showed aggressive body language.

Does not work out that way at all. Its "potential for success" that's the keyword.

Giving preference to one's physical characteristics over others' is one type os racism.

Guys with certain physical gifts or characteristics do gain advantage, ifthey choose the right sport that suits their gifts. That's the way it is One cannot stop giving enough credit to ishant's uncle for seeing how his height can be suited to fast bowling and we know the result. Its about whether the guys can gain advantage over others. not the physical characteristics itself. Ishant's line and bounce certainly troubled the aussies no end.These are precious advantages. Ambrose,walsh,mcgrath,garner all presented a different ballgame for the batsmen.
