Shortlist of Indian fast bowlers for the 2015 cricket World cup

Mohammed Shami

If any of you out there didn’t have an idea of what this 23 year old was capable of, he put up a demo show for you yesterday on a not so responsive Ranchi surface. He is quick, presents an Up-right seam, has a deceptive bouncer and more importantly, can get those yorkers in during the death overs. He is wobbly with his fielding prowess but Indian medium-pacers have never been of the pedigree of a certain Brett Lee, Dale Steyn, James Anderson and furthermore who are lightning quick on the field as much as their deliveries are.

He is just 23 and an extended run in the side can be a clear indicator of what more can he offer to Dhoni. I would love to see Umesh Yadav and Mohamed Shami bowling in tandem, would be a great sight if they can dish out their true potential and stay fit.
