Dada's Army Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Remember 2016 WT20 Semi against WI? Ashwin overstepping and giving Lendl Simmons a match winning reprieve? Or CT Final vs Pakistan. Bumrah overstepping on early Zaman dismissal. Again turned out to be key. Today Chahal overstepped to reprieve Miller after his dismissal. He's hit crucial boundaries since and looks like he will take the game away. As I write this, Chahal's overstepped again! Another free hit six! Can you believe this stuff? If you play stupid games, you'll win stupid prizes. BlueBee, beetle, Laaloo and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment
lamellavig Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Remember Australia under Steve Waugh? They never bowled a no ball. Under Ponting, they started to decline after they indulged in no balls and extras. However, Steve Waugh, McGrath and Warne really were magnificent. Link to comment

It has more to do with bowler’s ability to be disciplined which something our bowlers can work on. Also in that age, there weren’t too many formats where bowlers had to try so many variations and change the way they bowl. Bumrah is a t20 specialist who bowls and tries too many things in both ODI’s and t20s, and hence they are bound to bowl more no balls compared to a disciplined test bowler like Mcgrath of the 90s. Yes, this needs to be worked hard on by all the bowlers as players shouldn’t be bowling a no ball, period. But Steve Waugh had nothing to do with it. Link to comment

NameGoesHere Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) I can understand why a pacer does it, but how a spinner bowls a no ball is beyond my imagination. And Bumrah with his no ball didn’t just give away a Fakhar Zaman century, he opened the door for a memorable and humiliating drubbing from Pakistan in a key final. Even knowing today how good Bumrah is becoming, even knowing his all formats potential, I’d still ban the fellow for 6 months for that no ball. I may be overly harsh, irrational, but that’s how I felt and still feel about that no ball. Edited February 11, 2018 by NameGoesHere Link to comment
