Question for experts. How would you bowl to counter the sweep?

Bowl slightly shorter, also more revs/bounce I guess?

Bounce is the key, as extra bounce can induce the top edge.

Kuldeep will play and trying to reverse sweep him is a lot more difficult and challenging compared to the current bowlers.

Yeh sab pehle hee sochke they should've included him or at least coached the 3 that were there to implement a Plan B.

 

I am just really irritated that these guys got outsmarted tactically.  Losing if we are less capable from a skills standpoint is acceptable, but to be outwitted due to lack of preparation and analysis is just hard to swallow.

Our spinners are not fighting the ball that much to extract bounce. Bowling quite fast and straight into stumps makes it easier to sweep.

Sorry to keep beating a dead horse, but this one guy swept and swept and scored 196 runs.  Somewhere along the way there, couldn't they figure out or be coached to change tactics and not feed him sweepable balls?

I wonder if bowler call someone like say a dhoni and know his views

We should feel sorrow for ourselves for following this dumb sport, where the team cap(2021 Eng tour) cares more for IPL & his brand value than winning big games for his country! Jokes on us

Kuldeep has no variety to counter sweeps and reverse sweeps

[Frustrated]

Flat pitches which offer low bounce are ideal for sweeps and reverse sweeps (if executed properly).  Rajkot pitch has always been that sort of highway. Similar to the ones which our padosis keep preparing. There is no way to counter sweeps/rev sweeps.  For Team Ind, the best bet is to let Bumrah and Siraj bowl longer spells with tight lines and hope for some rev.swing.   (Don't hv any hope from losers like Kuldeep who are meek and suck in every dept. WC2023 gives us an idea as to how useless he is when things don't go his way).   

[BacktoCricaddict]

How about a 7-2 field and keep bowling leg/middle-leg at high-ish speeds so they can't wind up for reverse sweeps?  How much will they sweep into fielders hands? Unless they are really good at the inside-out stuff, they're going to be bottled up.

 

But then again, what do I know?  I was just in the top-3 in gully cricket and there were only 2 other guys in my gully who played cricket.

kuldeep is just a sitting duck

Have both mid wicket and squareleg- 2 sweeper protection. Vary pace and sometimes length

keep it outside that swinging arc as much as possible

If length is too short becomes a half tracker, I mean lune. A fast outside line ball got lucky for Duckett’s wicket. Well rewarded for Kuldeep
