this is true, even moreso with pacers than any other type of cricketer. there are a good number of BD pacers with amazing domestic FC stats but when they're given ago in the test arena they fall very short. the batting is starting to come about, we can start to trust domestic batting performances more than we use to be able to, but for pacers it's still not there yet.
