From the angle of a fan.

From where we will get "Fast Bowlers" Debate Continue!

Watching Malinga and Shaune Tett bowling in Cricket World Cup 2007 again forced me to think that "when and where we will find fast bowlers in India".

We have MRF pace academy in India from last 20 years and many of fast bowlers who are representing different cricket countries were here to sharp their skills as a fast bowler. Unfortunately, we get only few from their and Srinath is one of them but he too never threw that cricket ball with over 145 Kmh speed.
I have identified these two things to be a fast bowler (my openion)

  1. Physique - No one can argue that you need a certain kind physical shape to be successful fast bowler; big broad shoulders, long legs and long arms make the art of fast bowling much easier
  2. Aggression - Become aggressive and put an intimidating picture in the field.

To get these two quality we need to look beyond cricket boundries of our metro and other A class towns. We will sure not find that kind of bowlers in city cricket neither we have ever got them from there (other than one or two cricket fast bowler).

Any other openion?
