Short ball tactics by Indians


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have been noticing for a while. Indian fast bowlers especially bowlers who are shorter in stature in an attempt to bounce out players leak runs left/right/center. Arshdeep in a few matches nailed batsmen with accurate short stuff. I would say 50 to 60% success for him because of his height and the direction.  But guys like Thakur, Harshal in an attempt to bounce batsman out bowl half trackers. Every single time it gets promptly dispatched. Latham put every single short ball from Thakur away. He ended up conceding 24 runs in one over.  This has been a problem in all formats. Every time when we go well then they decide to bowl a half tracker and get promptly thrashed.  For short guys to bowl bouncers they have to pitch way way infront of the batsman. Unless it is quick like Umran it will be a free hit. What is our coach doing? Dhawan only after the match was over said they were bowling wrong lengths. Why couldn't he intervene before?

Thakur ran out of gas by the time he bowled that Latham over. Pitching up requires more energy which he lacked in 40th over of the innings. 

Harshal does anything just not to be predictable. Even ends up bowling beamers.:giggle:

He still would bowl slower than Axar.

Give him trt, horsemeat, all kinds of steroids including tren etc. He will still ball 24 different slow balls.
