Many people have attacked and many more defended the Indian cricket team for the loss in Sydney semifinal against Australia. But there are few staggering facts we can not shy away from.
India has been playing cricket since decades now but we are yet to see a genuine quick bowler in the Indian team. SA,NZ,Aus,WI,England - all of them have produced exceptional fast bowlers throughout their cricketing history. And why go far? Just look at Pakistan.
Wasim,Waqar,Aaquib,Shoaib Akhtar and now Wahab Riyaz. It is a shame on the cricketing infrastructure in India. It is indeed a shame on the richest cricketing board in the world - BCCI - that despite bathing in money day in and day out, they have not been able to find or groom a genuine fast bowler.
And what about spinners? The same argument goes for a genuine spinner. We have had some pseudo spinners in Kumble and R. Ashwin or even Harbhajan. But what about a spinner whom the opposition truly fear like they feared Murali or Warne for their great ability to get huge turns?
All in all Indian cricket system has to be heavily blamed for turning a blind eye towards the quality of bowlers in the country. They can't get huge turns and they can't bowl fast. And this given the lodes of money loitering around.
It is indeed shameful.
