Agree with this. We are not brilliant with it but we are doing enough to win Test matches, which is enough.

We did an outstanding job against the Aussies. Their bowlers were totally baffled at how ZAK and Ishant were doing it. Yes, our bowlers are the best at it now.

Hey sunnyj_2k..can you tell me what sort of speeds Sree was bowling at today? I didn't watch the action live today..only caught the wickets package.
Avge speed 135k i suppose. He did clock above 140 few times. But he was too quick for several batsmen. Probably a "heavy baller"

^ Cool..I guess he really has got his fitness back then. Sree that we saw in SA in 2006 was really amazing. Consistent pace coupled with that outswinger. The delivery ti get rid of Dilshan in the 2nd innings reminded of those days.

His quickest today was 140 kph, so how did he clock above 140 few times.

But we have a bunch of bowlers who are able to do it. We've seen our bowlers use if effectively and knock over the opposition and win games.
Yeah don't disagree with that. Individually it may be different but collectively we are doing it well to win Tests.

Agreed. Hopefully Ishant can recover the form that he had last year. So far we have seen Sree at his best and Ishant at his best at different points, in both cases the other guy was out of sorts. If we can have both Sree and Ishant firing, boy will that be devastating.

We did see what they could do together in that CB series..even though it was ODIs. But the most important factor is their fitness..because our bowlers tend to get injured quite frequently. Anyway I really hope Ishant gets his pace back..

Man thats the dream, to see our whole bowling attack firing at the same time. For quite a while we've seen the whole batting line up in top form. When was the last time the bowling attack was like that. Maybe England 07. But I wouldn't say they were all at top form
