WHO CARES, I MEAN EVERY COUNTRY'S NATIONAL TEAM HAS THEIR OWN STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES.......... S.AFRICA HAS PRODUCED GREAT PACERS THROUGHOUT LIKE ALLAN DONALD & M.NTINI BUT NO GREAT SPIN ATTACK TILL NOW AFTER SIMCOX............ INDIA HAS WORLD CLASS SPINNERS & MEDIUM PACERS WHO CARES ABOUT PACERS?? BEING AN INDIAN I DON'T...........................

Answer 3

pitches always aid the spinners so pacers find it difficult...........

Answer 4

very good question ,you can't only blame the pitches for that ,the infrastructure was such that fast bowlers were not supported and thats why no one wanted to be a fast bowler

also to be a fast bowler u  need to be strong and take in a lot of protein and most of us are vegetarians and week thank god i am not vegetarian and i know the importance of chicken and exercises lol

this also the reason we indians are not good n other sports which require more power ,only we punjabi's and some marathis are threre because only these two races are strong in india ,where as most of the south indians eat curry and idli thats why they are week

Answer 5

India has always concentrated on spin bowlers and thus the pitch formation follows.

On the other hand Pakistan went from a side who had fast bowling power to spinners like mustaq, saqlain, qadir and modern day danish to no spinner or more like malik and following the pitch.

Apart from Warne, Aussies concentrated on fast bowler and so did WI. So it has a lot to do with how a country approaches a kind of bowler and how they prepare their pitches and this follows the other players around him to see the player and thus form how he is.

India have always been for spinners and always made flat pitches and thus the rest follows.

Answer 7

indian pace bowler worried about them fitnes, because they are try to bowl fast to another bowler like hadlee,akram,younis etc. this guy are genuie fast bowler of there time. our indian bowler give them good training to how bowl quick and avoid injury, but must be not it injury is part of game its come any time no body stop it. our player not thought about fast bowled,they are wanting to play more for team. they are not playing for six month or one year.
