Great article indeed.
There are few things to keep in mind... One. Fast bowlers are not 'manufactured'; A country is lucky sometimes to have good fast bowlers and it doesn't matter whether you have BKSP, NCA, Commonwealth Bank Academy,,, all you can do is train young fast bowlers but whether they will become Wasim Akram, Glen McGrath, Lasith Malinga or not,, it depends on factors that's beyond a board sometimes. With all the resources, India still has no other fast bowler after Zaheer Khan; Pakistan's Umar Gul is the last known fast bowler of recognition. Physique plays a major role in fast bowlers ability but that's to support the talent. A relatively skinier Gul, Glen McGrath or Dale Steyn is still deadly and accurate than muscular Shoaib or Malinga. But with the facilities, planning and training provided, Sri Lanka will most likely produce a disciplined, physicalyand mentally tough and well prepared fast bowlers and we will produce a Nazmul, Shafiul...
However, for Bangladeshi fast bowlers, Nazmul, Rasel had the talent perhaps but they never worked on their physical improvement and would easily break down after couple series. Hence, they never got to master their skills either by playing a longer time. Versus a veteran like Mashrafee is much fitter than even the newest sensation..He is the only fast bowler who has mixed physical fitness with his talent,, Shahadat comes next and the rest, including Rubel, Shafiul etc. still has many miles to go;
