<p>The lanky Delhi speedster also made it clear that he had no plans to drop a yard in speed to regain his form during the tournament beginning September 22.<br />"This issue of drop in pace depends on conditions. In Australia you could be quick in air while in sub-continental conditions it's different. I am essentially a fast bowler and I don't ever want to be a medium-fast bowler," Ishant said.<br /><br />"All through these years I didn't think bowling bouncers was necessary to me. But now I am realising with my pace it can make a difference. I am now practicing bowling bouncers," he said.<br /><br />Ishant had a not-so impressive outing in the recently-concluded tri-nation Compaq Cup in Sri Lanka which India won and the 21-year-old bowler blamed the scheduling of the event for his poor performance, saying it was tough on a pacer's part to play three games in a span of four days in hot and humid conditions.<br />"I was off my line in the final but then you have to consider the conditions," he said.<br /><br />Ishant also agreed with his skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's observation that his style of bowling is not suited for the new ball.<br /><br />"I don't bowl up to the batsmen which is essential when you are operating with the new ball. I don't swing the ball as much as I look to hit the deck and bowl back of length stuff. So I would say that I am better off as one-change," he said.</p>
