Javagal Srinath is India's spearhead in the bowling department. This 32 year old speedster from Karnataka made his debut against the Aussies at the Gabba, Brisbane in the year 1991. He has served Indian cricket with distinction in the last decade. He is an integral part of India's bowling machine which also had his Karnataka colleagues Venkatesh Prasad and Anil Kumble. With Kumble cooling his heels after an injury and Prasad having fallen out of favour with the selectors, Srinath will have to deliver the goods for India in Zimbabwe to fulfil the dreams of millions of cricket fans in India - a Test series win abroad. Srinath has so far played in 50 Test matches picking up 185 wickets at 29.94 runs apiece. He has picked up five wickets in an innings seven times with the best figures of 8/86. He has a Test match strike rate of 62.60 when compared to that of Zimbabwe's Heath Streak who has a better figure of 57.40
