Message: It is pathetic without Zaheer Khan. It seems that they are unable to limit the oposition to less than 250 even on a good pitch.

Name: sham huzaifa
Message: only zahir khan can be trusted and harbhajan can also be trusted and the man agarkar should never be taken. he gives too many runs

Name: Amritpal
Message: India have well spinners but not fast bowlers except Zahir Khan. So India should seek a great partner for Zahir.

Name: Binay Kumar Sahoo
Message: Yh I am sure that the Indian Bowlers will do well in the coming world cup matches. They are on fire now. Specially Zaheer Khan, Ashis Nehera & Harbhajan Singh, I am very much confident on them. They are the back bone of indian bowling line. Best of luck guys, my wishes are always with u.

Name: P.Sridhar
Message: Srinath and Zaheer are always reliable, but nothing can be said about Nehra and Agarkar. Though they have the talent, they lack consistency. If atleast one among these two donot perform consistently, India in the WC will have problems.

Message: I THING INDIA HAS GOOD BOWLERS ONLY THEY HAVE CONFIDENTLY.

Name: Amit Goswami
Message: I think better to bring all-rounders like Riteinder sing sodhi and Sanjay bangar instead of anil kumble and ajit agarkar , rest all bolwers r fine

Name: RAM Dandapani
Message: NO - atleast this is not evident in the Windies Tour. Agarkar is proving to be a pain than boon -even in the last match at Rajkot, he gave away 15 runs in the last over, while the previous over Srinath did a good job . Work on a proper bowling order - and avoid all the extra's and train Dravid properly to the bowlers will do the trick.

Name: Vishwanath.P
Message: yea,the bowling department must must and should do well. The team must have five bowlers including all-rounder- four seem and a slow bowler according to the pitch and opposition. This department should be able to defend the totals of 200-220 and contain opposition maximum of 270. With this simple attitude and sprit the chances are 80-90%.

Name: Senthil Kumar
Message: Certainly not, because our bowling attack is notatall consistent. We should have some genuine pace bowlers and magician spinners. Our current spinners are also good, but if we judge from the middle, they are not good outside India and sometimes worse in the home also. So the thing is, try several spinners and pace bowlers within this windies tour and Kiwis tour and by this there is a possibility to get some superspecialised bowlers.( Remember that, Wasim Akram is just picked up for their country while he was playing in the road side)

Name: Praveen Kumar
Message: Zaheer is the only decent bowler in india. Ajit ? God Damn ! H Singh will be of less use in SA tracks. Nehra yet to prove himself. Srinath is very inconsistent. It is a miracle if india wins WC with its bowling attack.

Name: Mahesh Venu
Message: No. They can accomplish little with Zaheer and Srinath. Of course, the selectors can be blamed at the end of it all for not choosing the 'right combination'

Name: vaibhav
Message: Indian team need to do more consists bowling. Need to understand the requirement of pitch rather than doing fast bowled. Finally catches win matches. Concentrate on Fielding also while bowling. Best Regards Vaibhav

Name: gmramnani
Message: if dirty politics is kept a side, then definitely india can find 100s of fast bowlers there is no scarcity of fast bowlers, but this selection committe & the board members consider it their personel property, a person who has not played test cricket for india should not be part of either. presently it seems board members enjoy their life more then their duty towards the country, all of them should be sacked, a new board members should be selected.

Message: zaheer n srinath are class...bhajji is k but the other 2 are wher we r gonna lose out

Name: anupam mondal
Message: india having good bating side but not in bowling. zaheer khan is a good bowler & also harbajan. i hope that srinath will be playing worldcup this year. i dislike agarkar

Name: A Rehman Siddiqui
Message: Also Include Irfan Pathan as a back-up seamer very handy in SA.

Name: Alok Datar
Message: India should try and look for a new mediumpacer preferably a right hander and use Agarkar as an allrounder bowling second change after Zaheer Khan,Ashish Nehra and Srinath.The fourth medium pacer should be used as a reserve.Only one spinner should be played(Harbhajan). Agarkar should be looked as a fifth bowler, bowling the fifth bowlers quoata with Sehwag,Tendulkar etc considering the bowling form he is in.

Name: prafulla jagtap
Message: India has a bright chance in the next year's world cup even though they are short of bowlers,an allrounder like sanjay bangar will be useful in south africa,he has nice speed & can bat well in the middle order.

Name: Rahul Arora
Message: India's bowling will mainly depend on Zaheer Khan & Javagal srinath as they can be depended on to perform consistently.On his day Ashish Nehra whose a good swinger of the ball can also spoil the party of the opposition.Ajit agarkar is probably the weakest link.

Name: Imtiyaz Peerzade
Message: Zaheer, Srinath and Harbhajan are the only hopes. Ashish, Agarkar are pethetic instead of this two Irfan Pathan should be considered.

Name: taufique.mukadam
Message: Yes!India have a wonderfull bowling attack to will the world cup.Zaheer Khan is a key man and Srinath is experince harbhajan is winner.Thats why I thing these world cup is for india only .Ok Thank you This is my says to all the world views. best regards, to India, taufique.mukadam from mumbai.

Name: samirfuria
Your views:Indian bowling attack is too predictable as can be seen with WI batsmen thrashing us. we need to get more out of the allrounder ie Sachin, Sehwag Ganguly & Yuvraj. The couch/experts need to train them / advise them and should bowl in the nets and if possible in every match. this will be a surprise package for the opponents in case the frontline bowlers underperform

Name: Gyanesh Sharma
Message: Zaheer Khan,harbhajan Singh and Srinath....they are capable on any type of wickets...but India is certainly short of Two more quality bowlers.India attack can be of high quality provided Anil Kumble gets his old touch back.

Name: Tarun Kumar
Message: we hv only zaheer khan.. i think srinath/nehra/agarkar not at all fit for WC..Agarkar must be dropped permanently..i feel bombay lobby is bakim him up..debasish mohanty shud be picked up for WC as he is a great bowler for fast pitches..we hv seen him in the WC'99 also..

Name: ananthanarayan
Message: Definitely yes there is no doubt about it. So far from the bowling department india has failed miserably most of the occasions.It is very bad to see them defeated after a good score of 250+ in one-day matches. India should produce fast and consistant bowlers(yorkers, seemers in question).The batting department has changed a lot with very good openers and use of dravid as a good wicket- keeper so that slot can be used more effectively.The management have the last words for selecting the good pick. I wish my fellow indian's all the best.

Name: v.ramdas
Message: yes, if used properly as per their merits

Name: susheelkumar
Message: ya,india have the bolling to do well.

Name: balaji
Message: L.balaji, has to be selected for the nz tour as well as world cup, i am sure he will be great asset to the indian cricket.He has pace,he has variety ,he has everything to threaten the opposite teams, and also in South African condition he will be great to watch, he should be groomed properly before the world cup, he should be allowed to play test in new zealand,then he will get more confidence, he will be the key person according to me to the world cup, he will strengthen the bowling attack with zaheer and srinath.

Name: mudasir hussain
Message: i think zaheer,sri,baji are good but instead of nehra and ajit bowlers like pathan and youhanan should be taken in there place.

Name: Vinayak Kamat
Message: No. Indian batting line up is very strong. But if India has to defend the target set by them they should have a strong bowling line up. As srinath is on verge of retirement, the pace attack has to be done by Zaheer. Zaheer is a good bowler. But the worrying factor is spin attack. Kumble is no more a spinner. He is getting a treatment of a slow medium pace bowler. Harbhajan is not consistent. So India has to strengthen their bowling attack in order to win the world cup.

Name: devang
Message: take more fast bowlers than spinners as the pitches in south africa suits pace more than spin. and amonst the spinners , harbhajan is the best spinner we have today. and india should play 3 seamers and 1 spinner in their bowling attack and 7 batsmen, including dravid as a keeper cum batsman

Name: SNEHAL B ADSULE
Message: the above mentioned bowlers are good but their performance is not consistent so I feel our bowling is little weak in this sense

Name: tanveer shariff
Message: No, I don't know why Indians are struggling with the spiners. instead, i think they have to give more importance to Pace bowlers. i guess they should take some new fast bowlers.........

Name: Hameedullah Shariff
Message: We have to utilize the existing resources to the best. Its doesn’t makes sense taking two specialist spinner when u have spinners like sehwag, yuvraj and sachin. We should not wait for some born allrounder, we can make sehwag, yuvraj, kaif, harbhajan as one. Saurav has to under that the Best opening pair is Sachin and Sehwag. As everybody knows Saurav is good against spinners and lofts the ball extremely well so he has to come in either 4th or 5th position Dravid is doing well but we can’t experiment with him. Instead of training Dravid we can train Prithivraj Patel in Batting. Dravid is about to be 30 and in this age he can’t improve things like a young chap. Lastly what we need is a allrounder who can bowl fast and bat within first 6. Agarkar is not a right choice. So lets wish and pray to god for an allrounder.

Message: India's bowling is very poor the bowling of India's will not be successful in world cup new year in south africa, because, Javagal Srinath Nath Ajit Agarkar and Harbhajan Singh is not in the form

Name: Varinder Kochhar
Message: I think india have short one good fast bowler for world cup.

Name: parveen kumar garg

Name: zaheer khan
Message: Top bolower in India

Name: S.PRASANNA
Message: the problem is not with the seamers but with the spinners who are totally out of sorts on placid tracks. morever ajit agarkar should give importance to his bowling rather than batting.

Name: Gopal
Message: I don't think it has. Zaheer is only consistent bowler who did well for the past 6 months. He is down now due to injury and not sure whether he will retain the same form again before WC. Nehra is one of the very inconsistent bowler who do well very occasionaly. Agarkar is very consistent in giving good amount of runs during pressure situations. Srinath may do well in WC as it may be his last one. Harbhajan goes out of form suddenly for a complete serie. So, he should keep his form for WC. Kumble has become too inconsistent. Mostly, Zaheer, Srinath & Harbhajan will be doing most of bowling. There should be a reserve force too in this department. This has to be done with freshers within coming two months. Let us see what happens.

Name: atul
Message: i really doubt it. india has just two specialist bowlers in Zaheer Khan and Srinath who deserve a place in the team. our spinners end up giving more than 60 runs in their 10 over spell. and this is in india where the pitch is supposed to be conducive to spin. the other fast bowlers just take up a place in the team coz the team has to have 11 players!! anybody else could play in lieu of them. yet, all said and done, i still believe miracles can take place. lets wait and watch. i am hoping we could find another consistent medium pacer, not necessarily fast. someone like Gavin Larsen maybe.

Name: kaarthik
Message: no,we have to strengthen our bowling especially the fast bowlers have to improve their bowling

Name: Vijaykumar. Iyengar
Message: Yes I Think INDIA has the bowling strength to do well in WC only if they bowl to their potential and agarkar should be given the first change rather than opening the bowling. BEST OF LUCK TO INDIA FOR THE CUP
