Any Fast bowler who got a lot wickets on sub-continent pitches w/o relying on swing?

When I was at the age from which it's possible to develop into a good cricket player (no later than 14, IMO)

Bit of an aside but this isn't the case. I can think of several players from New Zealand alone who were late bloomers. I can also name you a couple of schoolboy prodigies who, looking at them in retrospect, would make you scratch your head.

Two names: Craig Cumming and Shane Bond - guess which categories they fall into?

I don't dispute starting earlier is best because it takes so much to make it to test or even FC cricket - you need to learn what works, apply it to yourself and see what works for you and then get so good at it those skills are ingrained instincts - but latecomers can do it, it's just harder.

yeah, I suppose, but the point is that it's not the cricket geeks who turn into good players, by and large.

Personally, I don't believe the general Indian public watch a lot of cricket that India is involved in.

Did you mean cricket that India isn't involved in?

Raymond Price didn't even start playing cricket until he was eighteen.

Ambrose was a notoriously late starter as well, wasn't he?

Wrong Grip Jake, aka Jack Iverson, didn't play a First Class match until he was 34

Reminds me, I still have Mystery Spinner sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust.

I think Wasim Akram is the Fast bowler who got a lot wickets on sub-continent pitches w/o relying on swing.

Oh come on!
