Bishop praises Indian paces

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, May 27: The burning desire to succeed abroad acted as a stimulus for India to consciously create a fearsome pace battery, says former West Indies speedster Ian Bishop, who compared the current unit to intimidating Caribbean bowlers of the past.

Bishop said the trend started with the likes of Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Munaf Patel following in the footsteps of Javagal Srinath and Kapil Dev in the 2000s.

�It is perhaps the best generation of talents of fast bowling India have produced. And it started a while ago,� Bishop said on �Cricbuzz in Conversation�. �We can go back to Zaheer, RP Singh, Munaf Patel and that little cluster that came through after Srinath, who followed Kapil Dev. It�s great to see,� he added. � PTI
