Indian cricket & the "F" word...

With the latest influx of the fast bowlers in the Indian cricket team, it seems that the Indian team might finally have turned the page. With Kumble on his last legs and Harbhajan as ineffective as he has ever been, fast bowlers have become the best bet as far as the bowling options go. At least in my life time, spinners have ALWAYS dominated the major victories in the test arena (apart from a select few, which was a rare sight). Even when Kapil was in his prime, it were the spinners who were winning the matches for India. Same with Javagal Srinath. Lack of fast-bowling options and depth were THE biggest reasons India were almost never able to win away from home (in tests).
Of course, it is probably a little premature on my part to make such a bowl statement. The current lot has a lot of distance to travel before they can be viewed as match winners. But, the Pathans, the RP Singhs, the Sreesanths have certainly got abundance of potential. Not to mention the Munaf Patels and the VRV Singhs of the world. And of course, a few of them who seem to be past their prime but in reality they are still not - the likes of Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar, Ashish Nehra. The latter three are still young enough to compete for a slot in the eleven, albeit it will be extremely difficult. They not only have to show the selectors that they can stay healthy, but they also have to take a lot of wickets in the domestic circuit.
All in all, it will be intersting to see the eight fast bowlers I mentioned above to fight out for 2,3, or even 4 slots in the eleven for the next couple of years. If nothing else, it will at least create a healthy competition amongst one another and it will add to the depth of the team.
