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 ill-fated South African tour of 1992, he was unable to find a place in the Test side, especially at home.
Javagal Srinath is an important member of the ODI side- he has the ability to take crucial wickets and also contain the batsman.
Srinath is also one of the Indian players to have the distinction of having played for an English county, ie Gloucestershire, as an overseas player.

 Cricket, a prayer for him
Srinath was in the Indian side that toured Australia in 1991-92 and he made a distinct impression on a tough campaign, getting the ball to seam and bounce at impressive speeds.
Srinath brought the ball in, Prasad took it away, Srinath surprised the batsmen with a nasty short ball, Prasad did that with the slower one.
Srinath was a match-winner, and his blistering six for 21, that provided India with a sensational victory over the Proteas in the Ahmedabad Test of '96, is surely among the most destructive spells by any Indian bowler.

 Rediff On The NeT: Javagal Srinath update
Javagal Srinath has his sights set on a comeback to the Indian team in time for the Sahara Cup showdown between India and Pakistan in September.
Srinath informed the media that he had officially informed BCCI secretary J Y Lele that he was fully recovered and back in the nets.
The thinking could be that even a half fit Srinath is streets ahead of his contemporaries - therefore, the minute the pace ace indicates his availability, the pressure on the selection committee to include him in the lineup should begin to mount.

 Javagal Srinath - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Srinath made his Test debut against Australia at Brisbane in 1991-92 and his one-day international debut in the Wills Trophy at Sharjah that year.
For many years, Srinath was India's lone strike bowler, and had to bear an excessive burden; this is believed to have, in part, led him to undergo an operation on his right shoulder in 1997.
Some critics argue that Srinath's average and strike rate suffered as a result of bowling on the predominantly dry and spin-friendly wickets in India; however, his average at home was in fact superior to his average away from India.

Srinath has frequently displayed the entire repertoire of the fast bowler's art - the dipping inswinger, the late outswinger, the deadly yorker, the whistling bouncer.
Srinath's overall performance is all the more creditworthy for it was only after Kapil Dev retired in 1994-95 that he became the spearhead of the attack.

Srinath who had impressed at a young age for Karnataka, with raw pace and an ability to move both the new and old ball off the pitch to good effect, had caught the selectors' eye.
Srinath who had taken 13 wickets in the match, in what should have been a match-winning performance and one of the greatest moments of his career, ended up on the losing side, once again let down by his batsmen.
Srinath and Khan provided excellent support as Ashish Nehra ran riot through the England batting at Durban, the trio restricted Pakistan from getting a total that was anything more than competitive on a flat wicket, and the new-ball duo of Zaheer and Srinath repeatedly prised out early wickets to rock opposition lineups.

In his eleventh year of Test cricket, Javagal Srinath is bowling better than at any point in his career and I think there is a great lesson there for young men in a hurry.
Srinath isn't bowling fast anymore, at least not by the accepted definition that classifies anything over 145 kmph as fast.
I actually believe it would be a good idea for Srinath, who has now started to speak about his experiences in cricket, to talk to his team-mates about his transition from a quick but erratic bowler to one who does the simple things in life very well.

 Javagal Srinath Profile
Javagal Srinath is the spearhead of the Indian pace attack and is the only bowler in India to produce the speeds generally associated with West Indian or South African pacemen.
After Kapil Dev`s retirement, Srinath broke into the playing XI and since then he has rarely let down the cricket fans in the country.
Whether in Test cricket or the limited overs game, whether in making the initial breakthrough with the new ball, breaking up a vital partnership in the middle order or cleaning up the tail, Srinath can always be depended upon to deliver the goods.

Srinath's injury, caused both by a fall in Toronto last year and shoulder overuse, is a trifle more serious than believed.
It is not just a fraying of one of the muscles of the rotator cuff as thought earlier; it also involves, as his surgeon Dr Mark Ferguson's report states, "a bucket-handle type tear" in the labrum, the cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket.
It is a professional regimen destined to at least improve Srinath's fitness; and for the bowler it is a long way from his amateur days in Mysore when he would (so goes the story) put on his cricket boots, get on his cycle, ride to the ground, dismount and immediately start bowling.
