it is very clear that Indian bowling is not that much bad comparatively with other teams. The main thing in the recent cricket, only physical strength is dominating the real talent of the game. it is quite known that the Indian bowlers are not that much enough strong with any other country especially with Australia and South Africa. So, India should stick to its strength by knowing the fact that they atleast bowl by knowing their basics. The same thing Donald explained SreeSanth. If no one in Indian bowlers try to do practicals especially in important matches and bowl to their standards definitely India can bowl as like other teams.
This is really good to see the effect of Donald's words on the bowling of Sreesanth. But I am suprised that rediff has not fully covered the story of Wasim Akram and Irfan Pathan. Pathan also asked Wasim for some bowling tips. But it is Chappel who interfered and wrote a letter to Wasim that Pathan will go to him only when he (Pathan) finds some time. This is ridiculous. And obviously insulting to a great personality like Wasim. This incident has been drawn a new controversy and a new man in the picture: Mr. Frazer, India's second coach (preferably to handle the bowling department). Mr. Frazer is called "Chappel's 2nd Wife" behind his back. Frazer has bowled only four overs in first-class cricket!!!!!!! Is Kapil Dev listening? He tried to change Ganguly's stance against spin bowling in Zimbabwe!!!!!! Ganguly opposed and the result was lethal: Despite of scoring a hundred and winning the series, Ganguly was fired. Frazer is still with team India. The damage process is still on. If Irfan goes to Wasim, Frazer will be proved useless. So, Frazer (Read Chappel) wants to spoil the carrier of a talented youngster and keep own position intact. What the BCCI is doing?

I have also read this Pathan-Akram-Chappell-Frazer news in a Bengali news paper, but haven't seen anywhere else. Earlier read about Pathan seeking help from Akram and then Akram denied that any such request reched to him. The background story was missed by so called news-hungry Indian media. Was it deliberate, or just do not want to disturb the mood of India's historic win in South Africa?
As Vengsarkar is there instead of More, I hope if it is ture, this incident will not go unnoticed.
