The bowlers have played a major role in IPL 2008 & IPL 2009. The winning teams on both occasions, Rajasthan Royals and Deccan Chargers, had in them the leading wicket takers. If Sohail Tanvir did it for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2008, it was RP Singh for Deccan Chargers in IPL 2009. If this trend continues, then you would expect bowlers coming in handy in English conditions in ICC World Twenty20 2009.
