Ram Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Why is it that Indian quicks lose pace as they progress in their career ?? So so many examples.. And of late one can easily think of Zaheer, Munaf , Pathan etc.. Is it becaus of Injury ? loss of confidence ? or just bad coaching ?? Link to comment
Chandan Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Re: Why do Indian fast bowlers get slow over time ?? I can go ahead and say that it is because of fitness and mental brittleness! The moment a bowler becomes the mainstay of the team, the workload increases, expectation increases manyfolds and hence the pressure as well which he had not experienced so far in his career. There is just too much at stake and they don't want to get injured. Hence the best option is to cut down pace! Link to comment
Sooda Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Re: Why do Indian fast bowlers get slow over time ?? ^ Yep. And that is true of bowlers the world over really...how many genuine quicks are there? Not many. There so much cricket esp ODIs being played, bowlers don't want to injure themselves. Link to comment
King Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Re: Why do Indian fast bowlers get slow over time ?? I reckon it is usually injury, overuse and age. Link to comment

Tries to do manythings at a time and fails to produce core result. Link to comment
DesiChap Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Re: Why do Indian fast bowlers get slow over time ?? Lack of a proper bowling coach! Hopefully Prasad will help the bowlers on the mental aspects of bowling. The pace and line and length will take care of itself. Link to comment
