Vk1 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Last match conditions was an exception than norm. 2019 w.c starts as early as May till July so there could be a lot of flat pitches like in CT. It's the occasional rough pitches that pak were lucky to get in semifinal that could cause problems. Bhuvi with his new knuckle ball a must on such pitches. Link to comment

For a while i've been suspicious about the intelligence of 'Kaptan aggressive' and he is confirming it more and more that he is the inverse of Dhoni : we traded in a passive moron captain for an aggressive moron captain. You can't just fill a side with aggressive wicket-taking bowlers in limited overs contest. it needs to be a balance of miserly bowlers AND wicket-taking bowlers. Almost all great ODI fast-bowling partnerships have one wicket-taking bowler (Waqar/Donald/Lee) and one bowler who is miserly with runs (Akram/Pollock/McGrath). Simply because some batsmen (especially aggressive batsmen, like Warner, Hales, etc) will more likely throw their wickets to containing bowlers, when set, than to aggressive bowlers. Otherwise, you end up with opposition scores like 200 all out, 180 all out, 355/5, etc.: if you only have aggressive bowlers, those guys will be butchered by aggressive batsmen on the day they click. Instead, what you want, is a balanced attack. regardless of the format, bowling in cricket follows a simple philosophy : one end bowls aggressively, other end looks to bottle it up. Switch it up next spell.Not two bowlers trying their level best to bowl aggressively. Link to comment

Looks like Axar's unavailability was a blessing in disguise. We could play 2 wicket-taking spinners. We need to persist with this duo. Bumrah was able to pick up a wicket in his opening spell too, and we need wickets at at the beginning.

But you know perfectly well, amongst McGrath-Lee/Wasim-Waqar/Donald-Pollock, who's job was to concede as little as possible and who's job was to take wickets as primary goals. Just now, express bowling said: There is no clash between wicket-taking bowling and miserly bowling as far as pacers are concerned. Uh, yes there is. Its the difference between having a Curtly Ambrose or a Brett lee at your disposal. two very different skill-sets and two very different focus. One guy takes wickets by making you do something rash at end of a 6-1-15-0 spell. Other guy takes wickets by giving enough juicy balls for the batsmen to get over-excited/high-risk-high-reward of 'its either bowled/lbw or a four-ball' lengths. Link to comment

Bottomline is ..... if a pacer is either unable to take sufficient wickets or is very expensive ..... in either case he won't be a good choice in a top ODI team. Quote Uh, yes there is.

No two good pacers are exactly similar .... some will be slightly more accurate and economical .... some will go for wickets a bit more ..... but, bottomline is, if they end up being top ODI bowlers, they will not be a failure either on the wicket-taking front or on the economy front.

Yes, but that is not the bottomline or even intention of this thread. we already had someone quote Kaptan aggressive that a bowler is useless if he bowls 10 dot balls but doesn't take a wicket. Pace bowlers work in packs. this is why all great pace attacks have had the 'containment option and all-out aggression option'. 7 minutes ago, express bowling said: No two good pacers are exactly similar .... some will be slightly more accurate and economical .... some will go for wickets a bit more ..... but, bottomline is, if they end up being top ODI bowlers, they will not be a failure either on the wicket-taking front or on the economy front. Ambrose was not exactly a great wicket-taking bowler in ODIs, neither was Walsh. Yet, they are still great bowlers. the point wasn't to say that one class of bowler are failure in taking wickets and another class are failure in keeping runs down. the point was to show that we need both types of bowlers : bowlers who are mainly good at taking wickets AND bowlers who are mainly good at restricting runs. not 5 bowlers who are trying to take a wicket every ball.

That is incorrect. Having an acceptable ER is a given in LOIs .... which is why I have not even considered Umesh Yadav for ODIs in the OP although he has a good wickets per match ratio. Quote Pace bowlers work in packs. this is why all great pace attacks have had the 'containment option and all-out aggression option'. We have Bumrah as the more containing option. But he is a wicket-taker too. This is what is needed. Similarly, the more aggressive pacer should have an acceptable ER too. Quote Ambrose was not exactly a great wicket-taking bowler in ODIs, neither was Walsh. Yet, they are still great bowlers. Ambrose and Walsh were great test bowlers but not ODI greats. WI deteriorated as an ODI team in '90s and one of the reasons was not having sufficient wicket-taking pacers.

My point was that even the low ER bowlers should not overlook the wicket-taking aspect. Most top ODI bowlers have achieved both. Further, both our ODI pacers focus more on containing runs than taking wickets in the first 10 overs. We saw Bumrah change this in SL and the results were much better.

I will take Ambrose and Walsh in any format as a bowler over any fast bowler from the subcontinent not named Wasim or Waqar. WI deteriorated in the 90s because of their batting. its their bowling that kept them as a threat to OZ/PAK/RSA. Because except for Lara and Chanderpaul, they had nobody- a super inconsistent Hooper was a distant third in their batting lineup and you know you have problems when Chanderpaul of the 90s is your 2nd best ODI batsman. this is why WI were winning matches vs OZ/ENG/RSA/PAK with regularity when Walsh and Ambrose were there and promptly started to get whitewashed 5-0 by the same sides as soon as these guys retired.
