The link between eating beef and fast bowling is the stupidest comment I have ever heard.

Indians do not eat meat that much compared to others.
There are always exception to rules.
In general sense , without meat , muscles won't expand and contract well.
India can produce only medium fast bowler who huffs and puffs and get injured soon.
Until that changes , India will be always a good batting side without great bowlers , because of that india will never reach No 1. rank.

But a lot of Indian's do eat Chicken and Fish, that contain the main building blocks of muscle development PROTEIN, also there are things such as Protein Bars, Protein Shakes and supplements such as Creatine on the market in order to build muscle mass and get 'bigger'.
But it doesnt help in fast bowling at all, so I do not really see your point here mate, at all. Beef and Fast Bowling does not equal success. Its the training, the hours at the gym, the hours and hours and hours in the nets practicing swing, line, length and bouncy deliveries.
It sure as hell isn't just not eating Beef
Chicken and Fish contain more Protein than Beef does.

This is a problem with the Indian team, especially when most bowling attacks, including their own, are being hit for fours and sixes repeatedly. They need batsmen who can do the same to other attacks- throw caution to the wind and go for the big booming straight drives, or expansive cover-drives, savage pull shots or imperious hooks, to complement the rest of the batting side, who are not just defensive, but also apprehensive. How many times do we see the Indians losing because they did not hit enough boundaries? No doubt running between the wickets is important (Dean Jones says that if they don't improve running between wickets, they will NOT WIN A WORLD CUP! Ganguly, take note), but the boundaries have to be hit! We don't see those stand-clearing sixes off Indian bats, do we?
Another problem is that the Indians depend far too much on specialist batsmen. They need runs from their bowlers as well. Not just small contributions, but regular 30's, 40's and the odd 50 or 100. All in big sixes and fours, or through aggressive running between wickets with a few adventurous shots. There are a few genuine all-rounders and a few bowlres with batting ability, but nobody gets a chance, simply because the team management want to weaken the bowling to strengthen the batting.
Irfan Pathan has shown how to bat in the final overs when the field is blocked, with 13 runs in a Murali over (not an over by Harvey, Streak, Hondo, Ongondo, Suji, Khaled Mahmud or any of those bowlers who make Agarkar look great) and good temperament. An opportunistic captain and coach would give him a lot of opportunities and get the best out of his batting. He does not have to bat like a Tendulkar- his main skill is his bowling- but just get runs in his own style of batting, which can be match-winning. He has his bowling to fall back on, so failures with the bat have no consequence. Worth a try- the Indians are trying to make a great batsman out of Patel, who can't hit the ball!
Jai P Yadav may be far from national selection, but he does not think so- every time a team is being picked or is picked, he comes up with a smashing century or 5 very effective wickets. He is a tried and tested performer for Railways. His batting needs better shot selection, and that would get him into the team rather easily- Dinesh and Badani have not been inspiring at all! He does not have much of a defense, but he can get big scores, either with the bat, or with his legs. His bowling has no pace, but does anybody's? Picking JP in the pace attack is no mistake- the Indians don't have a wrld class pace attack, except for Pathan. Also an exceptional fielder. There is Reetinder Sodhi, who can be picked for similar reasons. He's not as strong or experienced as JP, but he is younger and has the best REFLEXES in all the Indian team hopefuls. He can get better with age- just as Patel!
The best bowling all-rounder is Ramesh Powar. He is a clever off-spinner who never bowls negatively. He may not be as talented as Harbhajan or Karthik, but he has good big match temperament. He challenges the batsmen and draws them forward. It may not come off all the time- he'll go for a lot of runs, but he'll also pick up a lot of wickets. His batting is the best among ALL BOWLERS among those likely to make the Indian team. He can field better than Karthik, a backup spinner. His only weakness is that Kumble and Harbhajan are more or less permanent fixtures, but he needs more matches- he's more useful.
Vijay Dahiya may not have as good an average as Dinesh Karthik, but he is another hard-hitting batsman, who's also a wicketkeeper. He never got a fair try- a batting wicketkeeper at number 9? He has got lots of runs for Delhi, with an average of 32, and the sooner he returns, the better.
