f.b.m Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 If we look recently. There has been... - Brett Lee (success) - Shoaib Akthar (success but injury) - Dale Steyn (success) - Shane Bond (success but injury) - Mohammad Zahid (injury) - Allan Donald (success) - Nantie Hayward (failure) - Mohammad Sami (failure) But that is just off the top of my head. You can add Johnson as a success, Morkel as an intermediate My point was that you'd rarely find rank failures in such lists (Sami wasnt that bad when he was at full tilt, not like the pie bowler he was when he came to India last time). And either way even if they're injured for long periods of time, they tend to sway the outcome of the matches that they play bigtime. Contrast that to the number of "skilled" medium pace bowlers. You'd find a lot more failures than successes. Everone ranging from the Boa Constrictor to Munaf Patel to Nuwan Kulasekara (or even the "great eared one").

Guest Hiten. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Sad part is, not India but someone else produced India's "potential" fast bowler. I hope BCCI gets Ian Pont in MRF academy ASAP (once Atul is "unleashed"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, discussion was about out and out fast and percentages are pretty low as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, discussion was about out and out fast and percentages are pretty low as well Which sort of makes my point. If you're über fast, you're chances of success are higher.
