Re:Fast ? bowling resources.
by John Bosco on Nov 21, 2007 12:57 PM

The injuries to the fast bowlers and their standing down for the first Test is odd.But that is a chance to test the bench strength.
Munaf has to be first choice despite his attitude and fitness.Chance to see how he goes.One slot for Aus tour to be tested.
Next comes Pankaj Singh.Has done well recently.Has the physique.Has bowled longer spells and taken wickets.Has batting potential.Needs to be tried.Pace-Can he clock above 135.Don't know.
Ishant Sharma looks good.Has pace at 135.Wicket taking not yet there as yet.But to be tried later.
Irfan Pathan is an enigma.Has lost wicket taking ability.Has become a stock bowler.Pace is down.What to do?Nurture him for some time.Has years and can get better.
While the batsmen are the prima donnas,the bowlers hardly get attention.They need to be nutured and not fade out quickly like Balaji and Nehra.
