Could this series be India's catalyst for their own Fire in Babylon?

MS Dhoni said "never again..." "If we can only find some fast bowlers..." And then they show a video of R Vinay Kumar rattling the stumps... Ok lol, that last bit was a joke, but if we lose this series badly enough, and our batsmen really do get raped by the short ball, do you think you might see a change in the way we play test cricket. You never know! In a country of a billion people, there must be somebody who can bowl fast!!

Sure we can hope, but with BCCI I doubt it

People in India dont bowl fast as the climate is hot in most parts and the wickets are unresponsive.Maybe india should do something like pakistan and only pick bowlers who bowl fast.Else you will find mor vinay kumars just relying on changes of pace in dry dusty conditions and getting hammered oversees.Also what does Vinay have to get a place in the team.
