Rubel and shafiul need to work on their accuracy, if they cannot bowl according to the field with their current pace, then they should go slower, but going slower is of course a short term strategy. Pacers like rubel, who have a natural talent for raw speed will have to learn how to control their line and length at 90mph one day. But its a shame to see shahadat lack control over his 125kmh deliveries, I don't think he will ever come back from this slump in form. I agree 100% with you about giving our younger pacers better facilities and coaches, this should help them avoid become someone like shahadat.

It should be mandatory for young pacers to watch McGrath video daily. Plus, they need to watch Lillie, Roberts, Marshall, etc., in the latter part of their careers. They all breathed fire in their younger days. However, they became even more effective when they lost their pace, by concentrating on accuracy, variation, and deception. It will take a while to get this point across, though.
