Why does India not have great fast bowlers? - My Take

[IKnowU]

**** pitches, fitness, diet, physique, lack of grassroots training. That sums it up in a sentence.

Bro we heared this kind of same stories every year from ur side :idunno:

This is just us discussing what we see and feel about our pace bowling ground reality, problems and prospects. This post is self analytical and not written with the Pakistanis in mind to entertain them with stories. I am sure you can entertain yourselves. :haha:

See the things are changing slowly we now have bowlers who can bowl quick yadav ,Aaron, shukla ,warrior,unlucky ,rajpoot and also guys who bowl brisk pace like shami,mohit,pandey,anwar Ahmed ,nechim,dhudhat,bhaja,tyagi,so hopefully we can unearth few more in the future and more importantly manage our resources well, bowling future will be in safe hands,we need to make sure that what is their strength and in which format can they excel and have to rotate them carefully,make our pitches more competitive,which will not only help bowlers ,but batsman and fielders particularly slip fielders as well,i mean we often criticize our batting and bowling. But out fielding especially our slip fielding has gone to bonkers coz,pitches here doesn't offer bounce,pace and movement causing error in judgement while taking catch,guys like tendu,dravid and lakshman,ajhar played in county and hence improve themselves .

If our bowlers had the luxury of bowling on fast, swinging tracks they would enjoy their bowling. It would be fun learning new tricks and techniques on such wickets. Indian pitches are much like some of the baseball fields we play cricket on here in the US due to the lack of proper pitches. Even bowling with a tennis ball is hard as crap b/c it just goes straight onto the bat. The cow lashers enjoy it a ton.
