What Kapil paji has said is absolutely true 100% perecent. U dont become a world class bowler by sitting in front of the computer, u need to be on the field.u need to have stamina, which the present indian lot have 0%. Nobody wants to slog it out , practising for hrs , it is true not only with bowlers but even batsman( except for dravid ). Players should realise that do they need quick money or money in the long run, well said paaji, but who is listening , sorry none.

He took 20 innings to get 10 wickets to hit 400 & given the current form Sachin may also need same for his milestone if we include last 8 innings in England

Kapil's 400 wicket was that of Tom Moody at Perth in 1991-92. In that series, he took 25 wickets in 5 Tests, which is not bad. He took 16 more Tests for next 34 wickets. And when he finally chose to retire, Kumble was bowling faster than him.

U have really great memory,nevertheless it was really very frustrating for all viewers to bear his presence in team at the end of his career & Sachin should not let that happen to himself, the chances of which are quite strong.

a) everyone knows how KD got the establishment to prolong his career so that he could create a record. b) he is same wise wizard, who sometime back had said that SRT has nothing more to offer to cricket...
Let ICL management handle Tests and ODI. Leave BCCI with T20 formats, as they believe in quick bucks only. More and more fast bowlers are likely to concentrate on T20 format only.
Kapil said he wants somebody to crack the whip on fast bowlers who are opting for softer options and not working hard enough. How true he is!! Somebody important in fact is discouraging the fast bowlers from bowling or trying to bowl fast. The new phrase is 'pitching the ball in right areas', which is considered all important; trying to work up pace in fact is considered a crime. This attitude has to change. I must add though that making Kpil Dev the bowling coach is going to be counter-productive.
