I think part of the issue is that domestic coaches encourage their proteges to become SLAs or batsmen because they think that will increase the players chances of getting higher cricketing honors. A recent article posted on BC spoke about this. Besides Pacer Hunts, maybe the BCB should invest in special incentives for fast bowlers so that more kids dream of becoming a fast bowler?
Also, Ian, does Rubel have the ability to be a 150+ kmph bowler? (Assuming he recovers fully from his shoulder operation) Does he have the desire? Because otherwise he seems to be in good shape?
