There are many but these performances can't be given too much of importance because they are diluted like hell and we don't even know what kind of pitches they are played on. Few matches end in less than 7 sessions and few don't get even first innings completed in 4 days.

So it is really hard to say much about it.

am watching the U19 games on sky sports and this bacca has great potential. He clocked 88.7mph today, many in the Indian senior squad will nevr bowl with such pace.

Tall, strong, quick and has a great degree of variation.

Surely he must be one for the future for India.

Isnt that what everyone was saying about Munaf Patel at the same age? These days, Munaf is a carthorse who struggles to clock 130 kph. I still think Munaf is a good young bowler, but I think he needs to work a lot harder to make the most of his talent.

Sharma will have to keep working extremely hard and not get seduced by the rewards of becoming a top Indian Cricketer.

Ishant has played one season of Ranji as well. So I'll be happy if they blood him this year some time.

Then we'll have,

Zaheer
Sree
Munaf
Pathan
VRV &
Ishant

6 bowlers can be rotated properly to avoid burn out and injuries too.

I meant in current form that pace lineup minus Pathan is comparable to the West Indian all-time greats like Holding, Ambrose, Marshall, Garner, & Roberts.
