Is Ranji scheduling the reason for poor development of fast bowlers in our domestic recently ?


Recommended Posts

Both Shardul Thakur and Sai Kishore have pointed out that there is only a day gap between matches in Ranji .

 

And that includes travelling. That is an unforgivably brutal schedule especially for fast bowlers in our system .

 

Where is the workload management ? How are bowlers supposed to stay fit, not get injured and to sustain speeds with such pathetic scheduling?

Main reason is Pitches....  I actually liked Ramiz's radical idea to introduce drop in Pitches...  While PCB lacks money to pull that off but BCCI can easily do this. 

 

At least KO's must be played on drop in Pitches brought from Australia.

Would be good to have pitches with some assitance for turn and bounce. Good players will develop thay way and use skill to get wickets.

Batsmen will get better as you can be bounced out or turned inside out

No one can handle turn and bounce .it's impossible.TN who grow up on slow turners struggle on these pitches,imagine what will happen if it turns and bounces.

Imo Australian Pitches are best all round tracks in the world...  Quality spinner can spin the ball..  Pacers enjoy it and Batters can also hit through the line. 

They are the benchmark.

Also they used kookaburra. It takes away reverse element. SG ball reverses more and also grips more.

The Ranji pitches right now are lot more useful in judging batsmen than bowlers honestly.

 

Testing conditions expose flaws in techniques while bowlers, if they pitch on right spot, are likely to walk away with good figures.

Most Ranji/Domestic matches does not happen on Intnl grounds, there are several reasons for it 

1. Frequent intnl patches being played 

2.Need those 10/12 grounds for IPL 

3.Ranji host side decides the ground, so if there are multiple grounds under a state association they can pick any and can alter a non-international pitch (which suite their side at that moment and their standing in the point table) without asking BCCI 

 

Oct to March is the only time where 4/5 day matches could be played after that there is V.high temp(-- hence time booked for t20/ipl matches. )where most of the teams do not prefer to play 4/5 day matches, Aug to Mid Oct there is monsoon. So there is nt much to chose from for a 4/5 day cricket match

Mumbai's red soil pitch is the ideal one with something in it for everyone ie batsmen get value for runs & you need backfoot strokeplay, early morning swing, bounce and carry, spin etc and the pitch also breaks up enough as days go by. Commies were saying they tried using that same soil in other parts of India but it didn't have the same result because the weather and soil there is different so it behaves differently. It is what it is I suppose.

Australian pitches will not work the same way in India/Asia as they do in Oz. Our pitches actually have more variety just that the TM & BCCI choose to play safe!

You know that's BS right? Do you want to see spinner's record in Oz for the last 20 odd years?

Game set match lol 

I agree australia is a graveyard for spin

 

Thats why lyon couldnt even get our tail out in 2 games back in 2021. One being in scg where it allegedly spins. 

 

Lyon warne do well in australia because they had mcgrath and starc now to create footmarks which helps spinners. They know how to game the process to do well in such cases

Rahul Dravid echoing concerns of Sai Kishore and Shardul as well. Saying even the newbies in the team are talking about the ridiculous scheduling of domestic.

 

The reality is that first class cricketers need to be managed just as well as the contracted cricketers in terms of how much they bowl, given plenty of rest if they are in the red zone and constantly monitored for their actions etc.

 

Need more voices to join the chorus
