Why are medium pacers so mediocre in test matches? They are amazing in ODI's, probably because of their military line and length and the pressure on the batsman is to score runs.
But, isn't this also kind of the case with spinners?
Look at Nathan Brackan. He's Australia's best/second best bowler in the 50 over game. But give him the whites, he's average.
Have their been any successfully medium's in the long format?
By medium-pacers, I'm talking of the Praveen Kumars, Paul Collingwoods, Nathan Brackans, not the Zaheer's, ect. (Not Medium-Fast).
Is pace required in test matches to claim wickets?
