zen Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Well are bowlers don’t put up much fight when batting so may be they expect their counterparts to fold over as well automatically .... have to put effort and startaegy to pick wkts up .... captaincy with respect to field setting was poor as well Link to comment
SUMO Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 When weaker opponent comes we try to bully him. Even in gully cricket we derive sadistic pleasure watching inferior batsman dancing to the tunes rather than getting him out quickly. And as the tailender spends time on the crease defense gets better and better. By the time bowler reverts to disciplined bowling tailenders are well set and confident. Our bowlers lacks the mindset to go for the kill in the first 10 deliveries. Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Traditionally, Indian bowlers have relied on length deliveries. This has been a trend. Apart from Agarkar and Zaheer, dont recall very many bowlers who had good yorker. Now, when it comes to ODI's, one uses yorkers, however in Test cricket, even the experts use it sparingly. One reason is because if a yorker goes wrong and hits the bottom portion of the bat, it does a fair bit of damage to the ball. Secondly, in test batsmen are not in a hurry to score runs, wherein in ODI's, they are ready to hit the ball and in the process are beaten by yorkers. Now these are theories which I am assuming hinders the bowlers to try yorkers in test cricket. Also, I think the bowlers relax a bit when the tailenders come. They seem to be going just with the motion, expecting the batsmen to make mistakes rather than creating one. Link to comment
Vilander Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 With Tailenders attack stump more. I think Indian bowlers do not do that at times. Link to comment

Why does India struggle so bad to knock over the tail ? And why is this something that Pakistan has always done better than us ? Discuss. Yeah Pakistan is always better than you because you guys are being complacent at the end, but we fight till the end. Moreover we always have better bowling attack to finish off tail than India. So simple Link to comment

In tests there will be the one or two odd partnerships. Our bowlers have not even allowed them to build a single partnership over 50. Fall of wickets: 1-28 (AJ Finch, 11.6 ov), 2-44 (MS Harris, 16.2 ov), 3-60 (UT Khawaja, 23.3 ov), 4-84 (PSP Handscomb, 36.5 ov), 5-115 (TM Head, 56.4 ov), 6-156 (SE Marsh, 72.1 ov), 7-187 (TD Paine, 84.1 ov), 8-228 (MA Starc, 100.4 ov), 9-259 (PJ Cummins, 108.4 ov) yeah but 78 runs on a 5th day pitch by the last 3 wickets is unacceptable. Especially when its the captain who is too cowardly to attack and sets one-day field for his bowlers and has 4-5 dollies go untaken in expected 2nd slip/gully positions due to missing fielders !!!

Straight Drive Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Cummins this time . The tailender troubling yet again. Link to comment
Nikola Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Pat cummins bats like pure batsman. I think he scored half century after that sandpaper scandal in 4th test vs SA when SA were at top and he still managed to score runs against quality bowling lineup. That doesn't mean they are poor against tail enders too. Link to comment
Insidious Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 In world cricket only India have players which can be termed as 'tailenders'. Other teams including associates have strong lower order who can contribute with bat. Link to comment
Clarke Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Manju & the other commentator showed the lengths the bowlers displayed depending on the batsman. With Harris, it was 50% good length while with Cummins it was a spread of short, good & full length. The other metric was 3% of our deliveries we're hitting the stumps yesterday against the global average of 11%. Lack of a spinner may have affected the latter number but improvement is possible.
