In the Hindu, K C Vijaya Kumar casts a worried look at India's fast-bowling stocks and says that unless they can find a spitfire attack, they will struggle in the World Cup.
Dhoni has anointed Zaheer and Nehra as the men to guide the Indian attack. But a look at their recent match statistics is instructive. This year so far, Zaheer has had spells of none for 57, none for 43, three for 38, none for 51 and none for 29 while Nehra has had figures of none for 55, one for 44, two for 58, one for 2, one for 67, two for 60 and two for 28. Their support seam-cast has nothing to crow about either as rival teams have found their runs with ease.
