The dearth is of Spinners and not fast bowlers...

After IPL begins from April 8th 2015, The World cup defeat will be forgotten and Indians will not worry unless there are more Fast bowlers injured for Playing Indian matches - IPL matches are more important and lucrative than National duty.

Where is Varun Aaron?
by Hindustani on Apr 01, 2015 12:33 PM

Where is Varun Aaron? Genuine fast bowlers in India can be counted on the fingers of one hand. In such a scenario, not selecting Varun Aaron is downright idiocy. He has raw pace and Indian slection board need to stick with him atleast for a year before they take a call on him.

india need immediate replace of Jadeja and R ashwin with good leg spinner and off spinner. bench strength should have tried in leage matches for better option. there should have been an alrounder like Yuvraj calibre who can change game j K Jain

What about batting?
by Vish on Apr 01, 2015 12:38 AM

Unfortunately Team BCCI bowlers always get the flak despite toiling on unhelpful tracks in India. Superstar Team BCCI batsmen used to batting on batting friendly tracks, predictably fail overseas. In present Team BCCI there is not a single reliable batsman who can perform in a crunch situation.

cricket is full time business
by dinesh hassija on Mar 31, 2015 08:37 PM

...irrespective of any format. Rather every activity ( be it kitchen handling, child care, caring old parents) might be full time and additional activity could only be at some cost of main activity.

We would have won against NZ if they were our opponents in semis. I think we should have been number 2 in ranking but unfortunately they ended up runners up. Again toss plays a role at least for India. Had we batted first we would have made around 300 against Australia and then they chasing.. you never know. They might have won but but not by such a margin. NZ won the toss batted and spoiled it all.

next world cup in England
by Gopalakrishna Nadar on Mar 31, 2015 08:05 PM

Praveen Kumar must be encouraged and well maintained. He is the best when it comes to swing and seaming conditions.He is just 28 and along with Buhuvaneshwar Kumar, it will be a very good combo.

Make Fast Pitches in India First
by pritesh salvi on Mar 31, 2015 06:40 PM  | Hide replies

If you need Good quality bowlers from Indian Side, you need to prepare fast and bouncy pitches instead of Flat (pataa) or turning tracks. Flat or turning tracks results in abundance of batsmen thats why we have poor fast bowlers. The BCCI should look into to this matter on priority basis so that we can have good genuine fast bowlers who can hit the deck very well. If such things happen our overseas track record will improve by leaps and bounds. We have quality batsmen, our feilding standards have also been very good nowadays, the only hing we need punch of fast bowlers which will hit the deck like a bullet. BCCI please consider it, even dhoni is also saying so on similar lines.

Fast and bouncy pitches can't be made even if you spend millions on it. If someone say you can make ask them for a proof. Even climatic conditions play vital role. BCCI would have done it long ago if they could be made. There aren't fast pitches in Pakistan still they produce world class fast bowlers time and again. Young kids need to dream to become fast bowlers and should have some such idol before them All want to become Gavaskar or Tendulkar. Thats the main problem. Attitude and willingness matters a lot.
