What about so-called fast bowlers?

What should be done to the so-called fast bowlers who do not bowl above 140 kmph? :-)

I wish such a categorization existed. Most of our bowlers would belong to that category. :-)

Ban Non-spinners..

Let's see how many English spinners falls in that category.. None, away from Swann could spin the ball in entire Britain..

lets keep test series for england vs India, in india where pitches help spinners, and see how many wickets Swann takes, i'm sure he will end his career after this series failing miserably....

Bottom Line- Take wickets
by vathula on Apr 18, 2011 12:54 PM

Murali and Warne spun and took wickets. Kumble and Mendis do not spin but still very effective.
Bottom line: take wickets

Sometimes, why ....most times, the LBW decision is got when the ball does not spin. Once the ball spins, LBW is difficult- either the ball strikes outside the line or does not hit the stumps. No wonder Murali bowled round the wicket to get his LBWs. He was a reluctant convert. Lastly, Flippers, arm balls do not spin sideways but very very effective.

u r talking of ashes and still in the same dream, u have lost ODI series 6-1 badly, pathetic world cup run in which u lost to bangladesh,ireland , u shud learn from australians on how to thrash bangladesh... shame on you, who are u to say ban spinners who dont spinn ? if u cant take wickets without turning ball forget, dont act like u r the greatest spinner...u r playing for almost 10 years and cudn't find permanent place in england team for long time, ur 128 wickets in tests are nothing compared to murali,warne,kumble who have got 800,700,600 plus wickets...
first achieve atleast 1/10th of what warne,murali,kumble have acheived then talk...
