I liked his beamers which he used to bowl to batsman who got set. He knew pin point where and how high to keep it. After bowling each beamer he used to pretent that it had mearly slipped out off hand. Cunning Fox. The other naughty bowler we have is Sreesant. He scared Pertson by bowling a Fast bouncer, which he had over stepped by almost two steps to add more pace.

Yes james i agreed with you..he started off spin to Jayasurya in 1996 world cup and moreover he adapted the spinner attitude..he bowled offspin and appealed like an off spinner

Whatever forget indian flat pitches and U have jayasurya no doubt u will be massacred but Manoj Prabhakar one of worlds best swing bowler.....he did a mistake...never a team player..but he know the art of swinging....
Don't try to change any bowlers action. Remember what happened to Sreesanth on the England tour. Ishant is young and as he gains experience he will himself learn to use the bowling crease well.
I love watching this young guy bowl. He has a great future in cricket. Remember this guy is only 19 years old and playing test cricket(not many can say that at that age). My son plays grade cricket and is only 5 years younger than Sharma, I hope that maybe one day he can realise his dream as Sharma has. I wish Sharma the very best in his cricket career.
Prabhakar was very lucky..still i am surprise how he became the strike bowler..He never looked a bowler. Even Gimmy Amarnath was much better than him..Ishant dont follow this guy if you need any help you can ask with kapil or srinath.

my friend u are illiterate..have u seen him bowling..he won matches for us with sachin...many times sachin was given award but he was not..But I agree he was never a team player.
It was thrill to watch Monoj bowling useing the crease very well and if Board do given some remuneration and make him to train our fast bowlers on a part time like sub coach or temporary coach, he can give valuable tips to our bowlers which will help our bowlers in outside pitches.
