What if Saurabh Tiwari could bowl medium pace ?

[hari504504]

true, but they are not short of allrounders, this hypothetical assumption was to create a scenario where a young player with physical attributes trying his hand in multi dimensional skills be it batting or bowling. These days being multi dimensional cricketers are a boon in shorter format of cricket. Thats the reason utthapa looks bowl seamers sometimes and even keep. I wouldn't say he's successful but i would give him marks atleast for trying.

Well, it isn't easy to simply start bowling just because one is tall. You need an interest/passion to begin with followed by lots of hours in the nets. Not to mention the risk of injuries which jeopardizes even your primary skill-batting. There is a reason why fast bowling all-rounders that last the mile are a rarity in any country.

All in all if you are batting for your country , the passion has to be there else you would not be close to this team.

I have not seen Pollard or Kohli bowl in an international match, so can't comment. But Robin Singh,Ganguly were hardly reliable as bowlers, The batsmen used to take them to the cleaners more often than not.(Yeah they've had their moments of glory, but still not international class all-rounders I would say). Robin Singh wasn't even a reliable batsman - I'd rather Tiwary focus on his batting than end-up as a Robin Singh.

AS if our regular bowler's are not taken to the cleaners, just see agarkar's consistency,nehra's in recent times, thats why dhoni turns to the part timers, bcos for some reason the opposition team can't take all the part timers to the cleaners.

I doubt that claim, robin singh was one of the best finishers india had... don't undermine his achievements, he has at times won games single handedly by bat and ball alone.
