Our pacers can hold up okay in ODIs but in Tests they become useless. It's a systematic problem. Our pacers just don't bowl enough long spells and hence they all have horrific averages. They just aren't conditioned to bowl in Tests
Part of the reason is that in domestic cricket our SLA's clean up the opposition most of the times before our pacers can have any time to hit the deck hard and bowl close to 20 overs.

In addition, we only play a handful of first class games in domestic cricket.
