Pat Cummins was'nt just a guy who can bowl fast, please fool someone else. Billy Stanlake is a guy who bowls just fast. Now tell me how his career is going?
That's what experts here don't possess, they don't have the ability to differentiate between a young Pat Cummins and a young Billy Stanlake.

No, not all who can bowl fast have the ability to become great, there's things like seam position, the nip they obtain,action, the bounce they get, whether they bowl a heavy ball or not, how much swing they obtain, do they have the ability to hit the seam and obtain movement.
All these things can't just be taught, it depends a lot on the overall mechanics of the individual’s body.

I am struggling to understand what different I said ? 
Kartik, Umran, Kuldeep they all have pace+skills, they're not pace retards like Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Sami, Aizaz Cheema or Usman Shinwari. About Billy Stanlake, I haven't seen much but he's a bounce dependent bowler (like Morne Morkel), unaware of his other skills.

Umesh is still a much better bowler than Riaz or Sami and at Gul's level (though different format's), he gets reverse and can swing the new ball...Aaron also used to have skills but post changing his action he lost the reverse that he had. Also, Umesh's career turn around under Kohli's captaincy, while Aaron kept falling back..that highlights importance of backing from a captain as well.

I have always said that there are three bowling talents in India apart from those we already play for us ->
Karthik Tyagi
Umran
Prasidh Krishna

It's just that two of them are raw and need more work, which they are getting in IPL and domestics.
While Prasidh plays for India in ODIs and is in test squad also. He is not suited for t20s as of now, why do you expect TM to pick him when he gets thrashed in t20s?

All others are pretender- (I haven't seen much of Mohsin , so won;t talk about him here)

They do, but don't you think they should be given more attention because of their raw potential, when Aussies can elevate Pat Cummins ahead of the race because of his talent, why not BCCI.

Thomson was insanely fast , Lillee was slower than him, why did'nt Thomson learn everything from Lillee and become as good as him? considering he had all the pace in the world.
 

We have our own examples in Yadav and Aaron, kyu nahi seeekh paaye ye kuch? pace to tha. Because they could never become great bowlers as their bowling was never threatening and had very little control. 

We have many floaters -> those who bowl 140+ but the ball just comes on to the bat very nicely, there's no extra bounce or seam movement they obtain after ball hits the ground, their ball's trajectory can be carted just by looking at their hand position when they deliver the ball, such bowlers are dime a dozen and we have plenty of them

I don't think you watch much domestic cricket, there's gaurav Yadav, a attacking seamer with a good bumper and a good exponent of inswing, am pretty sure he would have played international cricket by now for most teams bar SA and aus, a bowler like him could easily be developed into a quality test pacer in India conditions, how TM and selectors lack foresight and too many good pacers are kept away toiling, dayal another with great attributes, gets consistent high bounce from good length, even his 137kph short length stuff had Russel in real trouble during the Ipl, this is what you look in bowlers, consistency is learnt after,Siraj spent 2 years with the A team and became a complete pacer.

Itna bada post to explain which everyone already know about

Trundling without control or pace without control are bad

You were saying that if someone has speed, he can learn other skills.
That's wrong.

Thomson's role was different.

 

He was entrusted with scaring the batters during the " no helmet era ".

I agree with your evaluation of Karthik,Umran and Prasidh. (Haven't seen Mohsin)
The thing is Umran and Kartik should play in India A and IPL, they need some more time.
Prasidh as of now is sadly not a t20i bowler and that can happen , even Pat Cummins has'nt cracked the t20 code yet.

So I clearly don't see how our current t20 lineup could have been improved, except for Siraj in main squad.
