Why doesn't India produce genuinely fast bowlers (over 150KPH when needed). The fastest ball ever bowled by an Indian is by Ashish Nehra in the 2003 world cup - 149.3KMPH - after that effort, he never played for India due to injuries. Not a single person can bowl at over 150KMPH while the neighbors always have someone who can. What is the secret of this failure? Every quick bowler to have played international cricket pretty much started quick - be it Bond, Waqar, Akthar, Tait, Lee, Donald etc. This guy Ishant does a military medium 132Ks. No point in getting into dogmatic views like good talent doesn't get recognition India because the truth is that when it comes to cricket, by and large, talent especially for hostile fast bowling will shine through. It's not about genes because the neighbors with much worse domastic cricket conditions and with pretty much the same genes, provide fast bowlers regularly. It's not about body mass because Genuinely quick bowlers come in all shapes thin to strongly built (Mohd Sami to Harmison) Statistically baffling that there just haven't been any in India and the question is Why?
