Morale of the story? What ZeeshanM said is what Chaminda Vaas also told BD pace bolwers.. that they need to change diet and work out heavily to build muscles to be able to bowl consistently. Talent alone cant survive if the frame is non-existent. If you look into the pacers from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africal, England,, they all have good height, good physique and body mechanics to support their bowling talent. Unfortunately, BD bowlers are not known for their physical fitness compared to other international grade bowlers. Hence, you see Rasel/Nazmul/Talha/Sajid/Safaque like players breaking down in injuries and never gets back to their usual rythm.

of course fitness is important...but injuries are common to fast bowlers....lee, shoib akter, bond, flintoff who doesn't have injury problem, so why blame our bd bowlers with dietary and fitness related issues? it's all in our mind........accept it....
