Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi said the pacers had no role in India’s tri-series triumph in Sri Lanka, which was possible because of strong performance by the spinners.
One of the most elegant players of his era, Pataudi was disturbed by the tendency of the Indian pacers to gradually slow down.
He, in fact, went on to say that India doesn’t have any fast bowler at all.
“I don’t think they are fast to begin with. I consider 90 mph fast but these guys are bowling 80mph. They are not fast, at best they could be called medium fast,” he said.
Pataudi did not seem to have been impressed by Dhoni’s captaincy in South Africa but the former skipper was not ready to call for his head either.

i m listening this sort of thing since my childhood. many of the ppl think that **majority of indians are vegetarian **thats y they are unable to generate the pace.
Majoriy of Indians may be vegetarian, but what is Muslim population in India? Isn’t it comparable to Pakistan? What about Bengladeshis, are they vegetarians too?
