I agree with pollock, Javagal didnt get due credit mainly because Kapil dev stayed too long. on indian pitches there was no place for 3rd Place after Kapil & Manoj prabhakar, there by reducing his appearances in international cricket.
but i am glad that he along with Venkatesh prasad, from the land of legendary spinners Erapalli Prasanna , BS Chandra sheakar & Anil Kumble, made their mark with pace bowling for good No. of years. Kudos.
