the cricket team needs bowler's who have stamina and can bowl at 140kmph consistently,whereas the ones like ishant / rp singh / nehra run out of gas after bowling just 5 overs and they never clock above 140, with the exception of Zaheer khan who has good stamina and build to maintain pace. These sambar and Daal eating pundits are not good for bowling, they should find some strict nonvegetarians and strong built athletes to bowl superfast deliveries - thats the only way they can be called a good and fearful bowling team, till then we will get to see only these so called medium fast bowlers.

That is stupid. Apart from Kapil only Srinath was fast and he played continuously without injuries for over a decade. The current lot, all of whom are by the way non-veg can last only one tournament. Being injury free has got to with mental toughness, will power, technical-correctness, non of which have anything to do with diet.

It seems biased but very true.. non vegetarian bowlers are consistently faster than vegetarians.. There's proof if you only look to people like Brett Lee.. I agree that how fast you bowl is very heavily decided by genetics but meat is a well needed boost to that. I'm not saying that fast bowlers should start eating meat. Just that a diet involving meat is supplemental to fast bowling

I am with you Vijay. You're not the only one. I am one of the unsung hero of Indian cricket as well, who wasn't even given a chance to play for his team in gully cricket.

Bengalis always eat nonveg. Thats why never able to produce any bowler who can bowl faster than 120 km. Also all non veg eaters Ishant/RP/pravven/Joginder can be seen how good their stamina is? Srinath even being VEG is the fasted bowler India produced & lasted for 10 yrs. stop this nonsense comment of sambhar & have some facts.Most of the fast bowlers in indian team are from Punjab/delhi-all non veg who can't last more than one series due to stamina.
BCCI, as long as they are managed, I should say more controlled by political big wigs will continue to play politics and make money out of it. They are not interested in Incian cricket - none of the key persons who control BCCI has played cricket in their life. Look at them - with big paunch and foul smelling - they are indeed a curse. I hope a day will come when BCCI will be efficiently managed by retired cricketers.

I'd say we pick from Wasim Akram, Curtley Ambrose of Allan Donald. Donald has been working on Sreesanth anyways for Warwickshire.

when india lost the league match in world cup 2007 it was blamed on the fielding and bowling then these 2 guys Prasad & Robin were brought to make a team out of the unpolished cricketers which i believe they did a good job (remember T20 world cup 2k7 & Pre IPL).But now just bcoz the players who are always unfit (Post IPL )nowadays and they are selected also for major tournaments viz,.. T20 World cup(Sehwag & others)which the axe MUST have been fallen on Kris Srikanth & Dhoni but have fallen to the scapegoats Prasad & Robin. I wouldnt be surprised if India loses another big tournament and the axe would eventually fall on Kirsten.
They couldnt make our bowlers and batsmen superman's or spiderman's so that they could play T20 and make money for Mr. Modi and play cricket for our country India. When they play 6 weeks of T20 their health takes the toll they get injuries and when it comes to playing for the country they are either injured or tired. Now whos fault is it.

well said, instead of this they should boot IPL. which is causing a big bizarre to the team at international events.
As much as they want Sachin out, he keeps performing and keeps getting selected series after series. Absolutely love to watch those frustrated fans, who have no other option other than to cry and whine in message boards to vent their frustration.
