Time for a reassessment of Indian quicks?

Mentors play a huge role I believe,Wasim and Waqar were very lucky to have Imran Khan for guidance.

Now there was a South African quick called Nantie Hayward who was bowling around 156 kmph speeds during his initial years, but never went on to become the next Allan Donald because of improper guidance or mentoring.

That and he barely moved it off the straight...

You can. Play him in every game, give him no more than 16 overs, and let that waste of a batsman at number six bowl the rest of the 30 overs he usually gets under Dhoni (or Kohli, these days).

*This. India's one batsman extra policy effectively puts them on the defensive from the start overseas. In India the turning track means the spinners can twirl away all day but outside they can't, so the seamers have to do it effectively one short (2 if the turner gets tonked)
