New Delhi: Not once or twice but on numerous occasions Indian bowlers let the advantages go waste in year 2014. Be it on tour to New Zealand, England or current tour of Australia, the story had been the same and so were the results- dampening and morale shattering for the team as a whole and for the bowlers in particular.
India hardly had memorable tours abroad. They have always struggled whenever they played on foreign soils because of lack of skilled batsmen (barring few) who could adopt to bouncy pitches and dearth of genuine or at least fast bowlers who could exploit such tracks.
But of late, India has produced some really good and decent fast bowlers. Although the expectations are yet to be met by them, some of them have still learnt the trick of the trade.
If one looks at the matches Team India has played on foreign soils in 2014; then there were eight such occasions where it conceded a good number of runs after taking five wickets.
