Default forget pace/forget swing if u cant bowl line and length...

For batting, timing is everything.

For bowling, it's line and length. That's the basic, the fundamental, the foundation or watever you like to call when it comes to bowling.

Whats the point of throwing the ball at 150 mph if you cant control it and bowling all over the place...

swing can be deadly if bowled with good line...otherwise useless

Mash, Nazmul and Syed Rasel are three bowlers who does the basic right. whenever they played we restricted the opposition under good score. I am sure there are other bowlers who fall into this category.

Whats the obsession of our selectors with bowlers who cant bowl but has bit of speed in terms of our standard. Is it because they werent very good at playing them? or it is that, it takes a shahadat to select a shahadat?

When are we gonna see bowlers being pick for doing the basic right, low economy rates, good line and length, who doesnt bowl wide outside off stump? I do think that we have bowlers like that but our shahadat type selectors neglects them.
