Agarkar regarded as a "Fast Bowler"??????

Well, seems curious, having read this group for so long, so much of it
talking about Agarkar, and indeed recording him at bowling at 93mph in one
match, IIRC, I find myself amazed to see a bowler who makes Paras Mhambrey
or Sanjeev Sharma seem penetrative. 73mph seems nearer the mark.

It seems many of our Indian friends here regard his non presence in the
attack for the sake of Srinath as being a major injustice. Well, I'm afraid
Srinath would have made a far better addition to this attack, if he had not
chosen to retire, and provided far better support to Khan and Nehra, who
both look pretty good to me!

Now, looking forward to see Simon Jones bowl! god I'd love to see a 95mph
Englishman!

This is from CricInfo:

"The shocking story of the day has been Ajit Agarkar - he never
looked like a bowler who should be bowling in a test match.
With his left shoulder dropping a bit too early, he found it hard
to control both line and length and was taken for runs."

Sanjeev Sharma???

ROTFL.

Back in 1990 series BBC commentators were telling "can't a country
of 900 million produce one better bowler than him".
