You have a point. I think it is a question of attitude and the culture more than bouncy wickets. Sanjay manjrekar correctly pointed out that here we have a medium pace culture and bowlers are adviced to stick to a line and length more than pace and i think that is the real problem. However, it is pleasing to see yadav and aaron having pace and bowling quick. Hope that people don't adbice him to cut down on pace and be a fast spinner!
Over the last year Zaheer has been a world class bowler and has been taking wickets at an ave of 22. Inspite of being injured the importance of his presence to bowlers like Ishant, Yadav and Varun will provide him with excellent support in the next 1-2 years of his career.
Yadav could be a potential Test match material and Aaron in the 1-dayers. With emphasis on fitness, hopefully both can support Zaheer and Ishant over the long run.
Australia pitches are not that quick anymore as they use to be but even a Mohali like pitch can help our bowlers do well.
Yes. It is good for Team India but certainly not good for Zaheer who hardly pays attention to fitness, Munaf Patel who is slower than Virat Kohli's pace and Sreeshanth whom only Shrikkant in whole India considers as having test bowling capacity!
Zaheer.....Thanks for welcoming young bowlers! This means that your time is over!I do admire you as one of the best bowler India has produced,but at the same time I know that you went to England tour recently despite the fact that you were not physically fit & you were aware of it.

I think if he pays less attention to extra curricular activities as concentrate on pace bowling he may play for a couple of years more for the Country.
I admire Zaheer when he bowls... I am saddened that he has hit a rough patch like this :-( His bowling is unique and his wickets speaks for himself. 80% of the wickets he has taken are proper top order batsen and in Test cricket, you need someone to topple the top order and not feed the tail. He is a real Hero!! I am sure he will comeback, but even if he retires, he still will be the best bowler who has impressed me :-)

What do you mean by complete bowler? You may be watching only Ranji & Duleep trophy matches on TV.
