Pick of Our Fast Bowlers

[jj_28]

Who do you guys think can become our pick of the bowlers for the coming tours and especially our tour of the SA and Australia at home For me Zaheer is a definite pick but we need at least 2 more fast bowlers Our selectors will most likely choose from Umesh Yadav Munaf Patel Praven Kumar Varun Aaron and possibly Ishant Sharma if he can get fit and stay fit For me it has to Zaheer, Yadav and Ishant (if fit)

[vvvslaxman]

we are touring SA?

[jj_28]

Yeah I think in 2013, have a feeling the spot for no.1 will decided in that tour South Africa Host India (3 Tests, 7 ODIs, 2 T20s)

zaher wont make that series its too far ahead and with our pacers getting injured after 2-3 games its impossible to predict lol ishant might be there yadav is certainty i would also include aaron

[Clarke]

Seriously, Ishant :wall: Avg of 48 in SA, 58 in Eng & 90 in OZ. Quite an encouraging overseas trend for some of you. Just leave it alone, lets win a game or two at home for now.

Toonaf :facepalm: Would even have Vinay, but toonaf.

Zak, Umesh are a certainity(if they are fit). Would give a try to Varun aaron or even abu Nechim.

Looking at the last few years, I am really doubtful that any new player can make a mark from India :--D

[Needforspeed]

Too far off to predict now. Munaf definitely wont be playing Tests for India again. Our selectors are notorious for picking trundlers and our fast bowlers are frequently injured. I dont see Zak playing then. Hopefully if fit...Ishant, Yadav, Aaron and Shami Ahmed for sure and then any of the guys like Veer Pratap Singh, Awana, Nechim, Dinda, Suyal etc

Looking at the last few years' date=' I am really doubtful that any new player can make a mark from India :--D[/quote'] You are wrong. Most new bowlers make mark when they start but then fade away very quickly. Yadav made a mark in Australia. Lets see who does it in South Africa 2013. As Sabby said, Shami Ahmed will be a strong contender by then. He may not be as quick as Yadav or Aaron, but I like his bowling style more than those two. Dont think Zak will survive by then.

Looking at the last few years' date=' I am really doubtful that any new player can make a mark from India :--D[/quote'] actually not true itsn ot new players who have been bad its the old ones who have disappointing its this whole generation of player (rs,irfan,munaf, sreesanth ,ishant) who have dissapointe after making mark we did got yadav and he is fine for our test side and he improved so much in one season its the next step from becoming good bowler with some strengths and weaknesses to high quality bowler is where we fail our bowlers actually lose there strength see de lange right now i rate yadav better hten him but i can bet on south african management to work on him and in 2-3 years he will be destroying batting line ups -__- u dont get international ready bowlers from start its very rare

I wanted to coment on the same but wrote something else instead. anyways, I would want Zak to be there before he passes on the batton of the premier fast bowler to someone else. He was pretty good and fit in Oz as well. Picked up around 16 wickets with intermittent support.

Yadav was good in only 2 test matches.At times he was far too wayward.And I agree with you on Ishant. He needs some real sorting in his mind and bowling. As per Zak, he still was the highest wicket taker and looked like picking a wicket in every spell. Only in Adelaide he was not bowling well.

Arre sir, that's what even I am saying. When did I say that Umesh was not good. He performed better than what was expected. Ishant was the real dissapointment there. If he could have done a better job with the backing up business, things could have been a lot different.
