Exactly. Ganguly once said that you can certainly teach a fast bowler the tricks of the game and improve him as there is a lot of potential but you can't teach pace to a bowler who doesn't have it. Fast bowlers needs to be groomed and picked on talent not by going through their stats.
:yay: This is good planning by the board. Need to get out there and take it seriously. I think we will do well. Most our test batsmen enjoy true bounce, it is lateral movement that sometimes catches them napping.

why only UMESH gets to go early to Australia and not Aaron???
cos if they send everyone, they might as well change the last 2 ODIs to List A matches between WI and India A :winky:

Ishant sharma "specialist" :cantstop:
The only reason Ishant became a Test specialist was because every time he came on to bowl in ODIs/T20s, it seemed like a powerplay for the opposition team. :haha:

We may as well send Sehwag & Gambhir early to Australia... for acclimatisation along with the Test squad. As it is is they are not doing much against the WI :giggle: On another note I hope Sehwag has enough balls and "candor" to call himself out when he does that everyone else :winky:

What will Wriddhiman Saha do by going early? He will not be in the final eleven for the test matches had he gone early to carry drinks to the senior guys.

Umesh Yadav is ideal for Australia wickets The previous two tours to Australia saw the emergence of prodigious Indian pace-bowling talents in Irfan Pathan and Ishant Sharma. Both had progressed through U-19 ranks, the latter had even played a few Tests, but it was the tour Down Under that earmarked them as genuine prospects, bowlers who would serve India for a long period. Irfan and Ishant chipped in with valuable wickets in India's maiden Test wins at Adelaide and Perth in 2003 and 2008 respectively. This season, it is the turn of Umesh Yadav to knock over a few Australian batsmen. The only difference is, Yadav is already an established act with prior experience of Australian conditions and currently the most potent fast bowling weapon, the hottest pace commodity in Indian cricket. The management has decided to send him on the tour tomorrow itself - almost three weeks ahead of the first Test on December 26. Though he managed only four wickets from two matches during India's victory in the Emerging Players Tournament in Australia earlier this year, he silently pocketed some knowledge of the lengths to bowl on those true surfaces. "I really enjoyed my time in Australia, learnt a lot about how to alter your length. You cannot bowl too short, it's important to stick to a good line and length. There isn't that much movement either. I am glad to be going there (Australia) so early, because it will help me adjust quickly. The team management has been taking care of me so well, they realise the need for bowlers to adjust to conditions," he told MiD DAY on his arrival in Nagpur from Ahmedabad yesterday. Subroto Banerjee, who was taking his favourite pupil for dinner when this writer called him yesterday evening, said it would be a different challenge for Yadav in Australia. "He's been getting a lot of wickets (at home against West Indies) since debut but he knows that it won't be easy to knock over Australian batsmen. He's going to have to work on his length. The length cannot be too short... it's easy for young fast bowlers to get carried away looking at a bouncy surface. The Australians will feed off short balls, that's why getting the length right is the most important thing in Australia," he said. "I think the management must be applauded for sending him on the tour so early. Bowling with the Kookaburra ball is not easy and he needs some time," added Banerjee, who was part of India's pace attack on the 1991-92 tour of Australia. However, Banerjee felt Yadav would reap the rewards for discipline. "When you mature as a fast bowler, you can bowl in any conditions. Umesh is raw, but getting there. You can make out from his body language that he's never unfazed. He will get great help in Australia and I am expecting a super performance," he concluded.
