Indian Cricket's unsung heroes-Bowlers

India managed to defeat the Australians today on account of some uperb bowling display by our young Bowlers. In our country, we have always undervalued our bowlers. A psyche has been set that India' only strength is batting. True, Indian batting has always been in limelight due to the fact that batsmen had longer shelf life. Hence, they remain in the eyes of the fans. However, bowlers, especially fast, are retired due to stress and injury or after a bad patch are thrown out of the team, unlike the batsmen.
Good pace bowlers are alway associated in todays' world with Australia,Pakistan and even England. But we tend to forget that our bowlers,too, have won matches for us. Only difference is that due to the nature of team selection one bowler has never been able to stay in limelight for long.
