India's Test Bowling Stocks

Which fast bowler is good for which conditions? We have significant variety. And I feel they should play horses for courses. For example, Ishant is very good in Australia where there is extra bounce. Bhuvi should play in English conditions. Umesh and Shami seem adept in Indian conditions.

Bumrah everywhere

Bhuvi in England/SA and maybe even NZ if the conditions permit.

Shami and Ishant everywhere when Bhuvi isn't playing. One of them should make way for Bhuvi in the above countries.

When was the last time Indian bowlers bowled badly across a series? Even in the series losses in SA and Eng they were pretty good.

Surely the best all round bowling attack in the world now?
Two bad test hardly means you can entirely discount South Africa. Australia have a strong attack as well.

I think India are miles ahead of anyone else in India but their attack isn't as good as foreign attacks in foreign conditions.

Over the history of the game very few attacks have been better than all other attacks home and away though.

Now that Steyn is gone and Anderson ain't playing too much I think India can put up an attack similar to SA/Eng in away conditions as well, Australia's is better though.

India's attack was about as good or even better than SA/Eng/SA on the recent tours while also completely outperforming any other attack by a huge margin in India.

I'd still have australia marginally better though because they have a spinner who can consistently do a job in any conditions.

Fair summary I think.

This series shows Lyon is still a better bowler than Maharaj unlike some have been saying. Not taking a shot at Maharaj here, he's a solid operator who definitely should be persisted with regardless of this series, but he still has work to do when it comes to bowling to batsman very well accustomed to his methods of bowling
