We need to get Varun Aaron in the squad immediately!

i never said they dont struggle against fast bowling but said they struggle less than ind batsmen. aaron is as quick as ishant maybe 2-3ks here or there ishant clocked 152 in aus at 19yrs aaron clocked 153 at 21 in domestic , in terms of speed they are similar in fact ishant is significantly taller . so dont get too excited . but i do agree to the fact the ind needs a pack of pacers not a pair of pacers and aaron will help in that regard

but Ishant is more of a rhythm bowler rather than power. He can hit good speeds whenever in good rhythm, while Aaron does not depend more on run up or rhythm. He does not have good run up as well. He is pretty much like Kemar Roach in pace and style both. Any match One day or T20, i have seen of him, he has maintained a consistent pace even in a good spell of 5-overs on the trot. So i do not see any reason he cannot bowl that at international level. Also there is a lot of difference in body structure of Ishant and Aaron. Ishant is lean and tall while he is a strongly built guy. Height matter but many a good pacers have been short in height.

Unless zak mentors him he will also find it hard to take wickets.we do not have plans just bowl outside off stump and pray .in 2007 we had plans for there batsman but now we lack a bowling coach.

Agree. Ishant and Sree bowled their hearts out but they mainly dont know where to bowl, how to set up the batsmen, how to use variations and use strategies against certain batsmen. They only know to run up and bowl outside off and hope batsmen makes a mistake or hope something happens off the wicket. The team badly missed Zak and his experience. Losing him on the first day of a long tour is a body blow. We also missed a bowling coach.
