Indian bowlers are into record books a lot of times. Anil Kumble in both one day and test. He is a fighter all his life. But my bowler all time is Javagal Srinath. He has fought all his life for a place. He is a bowler with great heart and always strived to get wicket out of placid wickets too. That really says about him. We have a silent bowler who is hated by most. Its none other than Ajit Agarkar. We thought he would be the first to beat Anil Kumble record. But he has fumbled a lot now. Share ur thoughts on ur favorite bowler.

Indian bowling is one field which has been the most battered and bruised members of a team ever.
Rarely have we given them enough credit or credibility for match winning performances that they have put up for us.
It is difficult for me to pick an all time loved bowler, dunno - none ever left a very lasting impression. The most consistent for tests is definitely kumble. though I feel he just ambled along which is the usual format of tests anyway. I distinctly remember certain performances though like dada's performances in toronto, prasad bowling aamir sohail out, srinath's dogged efforts and dismays throughout his career, zaheer's yorkers when he had burst onto the scene, agarkar's awesome 4 wicket hauls for over 50 runs always, ishanth's recent tour especially the ponting wicket, bhajji's awesome heroics from time to time....the list goes on and on.
I love all our bowlers man - simply because of the efforts they put despite being in the shadows of our elite great batsmen.
