BacktoCricaddict Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) @express bowling @Rightarmfast @rkt.india Watching this video, I am wondering how some regular international bowlers missed the stumps multiple times like that. A question for you bowling gurus - it was my understanding that an international level bowler will land the ball exactly where he intends more than 90% of the time. Is that not true? PS: They say that about MLB pitchers too ... that they can thread a needle with the ball every time. Edited May 28, 2021 by BacktoCricaddict Rightarmfast and AuxiliA 2 Link to comment

I guess their is pressure. But how the * can international bowlers fail to hit the stumps so many times. Even good 'gully' bowlers can hit it more often than not. Link to comment

The answer is obvious, all the bowlers forgot their strength and the training that they have taken the entire life. The fast bowlers have been trained running in fast, and going all out. Instead, the bowlers took a much shorter run up, ran in very slow, and tried doing something they normally dont practise. How you practise is how you perform. Had they taken the normal run up, and tried bowling how they bowl normally, they wouldnt miss the stumps. Edited May 29, 2021 by Rightarmfast AuxiliA 1 Link to comment

Probably that's why India went with 3 finger spinners (no matter what quality) and all of them hit the stumps. PS: I read before their bowlout vs Pak, the Indian team had already practiced for it by conducting a contest among the squad members. Harbhajan, Sehwag and Uthappa came out on top and hence were ultimately chosen. Edited May 29, 2021 by AuxiliA BacktoCricaddict and Rightarmfast 2 Link to comment

Routine and rhythm were completely different. Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment

Same happ in ind pak game, afridi also didnt run in with his normal runup whereas bhajji ran in normally. In this game also gayle started bowling unlike how he does. Link to comment

Obvious answer is obvious… Fixed match. QED Link to comment
Texan Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Unbelievable!! Makes me appreciate all our non standard bowlers in the bowl out v/s Pak even more. Link to comment
