NameGoesHere 1,737 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Quote Yadav had a particularly torrid time against Ben Stokes in the second ODI in Pune, conceding 20 runs in an over, including three consecutive sixes because he "didn't understand what length to bowl" and "didn't have any assistance on the pitch". It allowed England to chase down a target of 337 inside 44 overs. I do hope that Yadav meant just this one game. Otherwise, an international bowler, especially a spinner, conceding that he did not know what length to bowl in general, and that too in his home country? Then there is a fundamental issue with that bowler that requires more than just a small adjustment. Link to post
