Sooner or later, he is bound to come across someone important, who will tell him that bowling and trying to bowl fast is a crime, and what matters is pitching the ball in the 'right areas'. That will be the end of him. BCCI should also compensate him so that he is not lured by the IPL.
do not listen to so called expert/coaches. remember waht u r i.e. a fast bowler. plain and simple bowl fast n faster with 2-3 varionts only yorkers bouncer and out/in swingers do not cahnge your action or bother about wrists. above remember the errors made by irfan pathan do not repeat them

Put him under Venky Prasad who invented best slower ball in World Cricket. But at the same time he is the same person who forgot faster ball after inventing slower ball.
Raina was brave to begin cracking Finn's speed blitz and Kohli finished it
Infact, Raina cracked Bresnan first. Then, Raina went cracking at Finn with 2 Fours on 140.4 km/hr and 147.3 km/hr ball, then he fell on a 152.8. Kohli Finished that over by cracking a Four. Kudos to Raina and the finisher Kohli who hit through the line of the ball. When desi bowler like Yadav, Ishant and Varun Aaron gain physical flexibillity and strength to improve variation and break the 152 km/hr bBarrier to bowl between 140 km/hr and 152 km/hr.

Finn exposed the weakness of Pathiv and Gambhir to faster ball even when they were defending. In contrast, Raina got out when he went for a hit. And Kohli played in line of the ball. Ofcourse, kudos to both Dhoni and kohli to finish the game.
ishant sharma, pravin kumar, vinaykumar and varun aron are promising bowlers... i think they all should get chance in australia tour and rotate around zaheer khan... umesh yadav is fast but expensive and can't controll line and length... rahul sharma should also tested in 5th odi... in ipl he bowl awesome stump to stump and make batsman play every delivery with great economy...

Hope Anna Hazare& all patriots MAKE a National Agitation to BAN Boring&Time-wasting&ANTI_national&anti-development TEST CRICKET Forever.Exciting IPL matches and Even OneDay Matches and T20 match in England comapred to boring&time-wasting Test Cricket MUST Open the Eyes of Fans&Government NOW.India&ALL Poor countries Must BAN Test Cricket &PLay Only ODI& short cricket Matches to prevent more poverty,misery&under-development. Cricket Fans&Sponsors MUST Dump Test Crciket in interest of the development of the Nation &to increase productivity of the citizens too.The Time-wasting Test Cricket, 3 Day Crciket,etc was invented by crooked British Colonizers, like inventing Mahatma gandhee,the british double agent&non-violence to make People of Colonies Lazy&Morrons&vegtables& POOR Forever.The ODI matches&T20 match provided thrilling Cricket Unlike the Monotonous& Time-Wasting TEST CRICKET which has wasted Millions of man or woman hours of our country& MADE US POORER too&this wastage of millions of working hours has been happending for the past 500 years& MORE& that is why we indians are 50 years behind China which does NOT have this anti-national time-westing game of TEST CRICKET.What a shame that WE have NOT BANNED such a time-wasting game as TEST CRICKET&NOT enacted the law which states that ONLY ODI or short versions oc criket macthes MUST be played ONLY During Holidays or week-ends!

A strong, powerfully built fast bowler with a typically West Indian love of life and the game he made his profession, Clarke was restricted to 11 Tests by the simultaneous presence of Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Joel Garner, Colin Croft and Malcolm Marshall and his decision to join the West Indian teams that broke the international boycott against the apartheid of South Africa in the mid-1980s.
