I see no reason why we can't emulate Pakistan...I don't think their infrastructure is that much better than ours. If thats issue, than look to NZ. With a tiny population and relatively thin resources they've produced many good bowlers from Hadlee to Bond, and then plenty of solid ones like Martin, Franklin, Mills and Oram.

We cannot emulate Pakistan nor New Zealand in terms of physique. So, we are left two choices - India and Sri Lanka. The conclusion is self-evident.
