Profile:
Javagal Srinath is the spearhead of the Indian pace attack and the only
bowler in India capabale of producing the speeds one generally associates
with West Indian or South African pacemen. Srinath suffered a testing introduction
to Test cricket when despite impressing Allan Border no end on his debut
tour to Australia, and performing creditably on the illfated South African
tour of 1992, he was unable to play a part in India`s tremendous home successes
due to the "spin trio + Kapil Dev + Prabhakar" selection policy. After
Kapil Dev`s retirement, he finally broke back into the playing XI and has
not looked back. Statistically his Test record is tarnished by his early
tours, but he is very much the genuine article as a speed merchant now,
having been compared with Allan Donald for sheer pace during his 1995 stint
with the English county of Goucestershire, and should serve India well
for some years to come. His one-day bowling record is particlary impressive,
and only Dennis Lillee and Waqar Younis have taken 100 wickets in fewer
matches. He is also a useful tail-end bat, capable of scoring runs at a
brisk pace, although the indications during the West Indies series of 1994-95
that he was maturing into a true all-rounder have not amounted to much
as yet.
He's big, he's bad, and he's back
