they produce proper fast bowlers! Spinners can only take you so far you know.
That's an area good batting teams like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh lack in, severely. Which is sad because their bowlers never do enough to support the more-than-decent batting department

Half decent bowlers can do the trick to an extent But the above mentioned teams have poor fast bowlers.

It's time the respective managements put their thinking caps on and invest their efforts in producing quality fast pacers.
I'm a firm believer of the fact that pacers hold the key to success

man...fast bowlers seldom win you matches

it is the batsmen who make or break the match

[Strike!]

Good fast bowlers don't grow on trees(except in Pakistan).

I think the battering we have seen could have happened to any team's bowlers on this pitch.

[talha3]

Bangladesh had Mortaza!

[Rana]

Windies and pakistan hav quickies all over the country (who dont even play for clubs).

Try scouting for your nation.

So you are saying India has proper fast bowlers or you're saying India is a minnow?

Perhaps. But that's not the first time BD were spanked for over 350
Players like Mortaza aren't even average bowlers. You can always improve your stats against lowly cricketing nations.

Neither. I said half decent bowlers can do the trick

Razzak Reached 150 Wickets in ODIs Quicker than Kumble and Bhaji Did.. Masrafee also has around 150 ODI wickets. They are decent enough bowler to Play International Cricket.

What is Razzak's record against Australia, RSA, Pakistan, Lanka, England compared to Bhajji and Kumble?

well first of all kudos to you to bring the name of someone who has 600 test wickets and 10fer against Pakistan to an arguement of Razzak that too Bangladesh wala

[ElRaja]

statistics, lols, the minnows have played a lot against other minnows

razzaks stats agnst the main nations 70 wickets at an average of 40 odd, he has 50 wickets at 15 against zimbots alone.

same thing happens to mushrafe stats.

razzak vs australia average 27.28
vs southafrica average 38.42
vs pakistan average 41.40
vs srilanka average 44.30
vs england average 33.30


harbajhan vs australia average 44.87
vs southafrica average 32.68
vs pakistan average 63.16
vs srilanka average 26.56
vs england average 24.40

hmm

odis anyhu

i think if all these averages are put togethor then razzak will have the upper hand

[ElRaja]

but teams are a lot more used to harbi than razzak cos they play him in tests a lot too, if they faced razzak that much his averages would balloon imho.
