Beef my foot !! whats there in beef that u cant find in other foods..look into the animal world..the strongest, fastest & handsomest animals are all vegetarians elephants, bulls, rhinos, hippos, horses, gazelles, you name it.....the carnivores like tigers, lions & hyenas are mean & vicious thats it...check out the nutrition chart for any body building or strength training and u will see these days the emphasis on red meat is very very low..rather its replaced by fish like salmon, sardines, tuna etc.....dont keep dissing Hindus on dietary habits its perfect, except people are not educated to balance their diets and eat the right thing...and yes India got so many beef and pork eaters in Muslims & Christians why cant they be fast bowlers??? the answer is probably priorities and lack of role models...one Kapil Dev inspired a number of medium pacers..u need a few more fast men...btw even Pakis dont come out with hordes of fast men as u claim....Imran, Wasim, Akhtar & Sami are all they came out with who were genuinely fast..the rest of the crop were all medium pacers.
