Pace bowlers or Tigers-who'll extinct first?

A passing thought: Denis Lillee took Half of wicket with aggression before delivering and the other half after delivering!

Its sad. Its grim. And its getting darker. I may not have seen the likes of Richard Hadlee, Jeff Thomson, Courtney Walsh , Ambrose or Michael Holding darting balls at batters , but i have witnessed the fiery Akram, McGrath, Allan Donald, Gillespie, Waqar and yes, i can surely say, the 'species' of Pace Bowler who threatened the best of batsmen on any given day, is on the verge of extinction.

Blame the heavy bats, Blame the short boundaries, blame the pace academies, blame the cricket rules-but its true and ICC is doing nothing.Batsmen score centuries like nothing. Edges fly away for sixes.Test matches end in pale draws with plenty of Batting records crumbling. Twenty-20s have opened new floodgates, Slogging seems more pleasant to eyes than defense. This is not good for cricket's health..

Subcontinent pitches are flat and , frankly, more creditable than any other turfs for this plight. the Steyns, Lees, Asifs are doing good but where are the fiery bowlers???

This is high time for leading cricket bodies to ponder and bring back that thrill in cricket which is gradually effacing. Or else bowlers will extinct before the tigers do!
