Bowlers..

Its time we use the same standard reserved for batsmen towards the bowlers. They have been around a long time now and none are rookies or novices. Most have over 50 intl's under their belt, yet consistently they stray too often, bowl the wrong one day length and continue to bleed run. There is no point harping about the missing 20 overs from Rafiq and Rasel. They are not here. The rest, simply are not grabbing the opportunity presented to them to crack in the team as regulars. Blaming the Coach or the lack of bowling coach is getting a bit silly. One day bowling is simple if you are disciplined and it doesn't change much even if you bring a new coach with new innovation tactics. The basics remain the same, more so, when we don't have wkt taking bowlers. You choke the runs and pry wkt away in the process with fielders backing you hundred percent.
