vvvslaxman Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Raina though appears to be bowling lollypop stuffs, an interesting tactic that he uses makes him more potent . He delays the delivery tad late so that he can alter his line and length according to batsman's movement. It is good, clever bowling tactic. Rohit has a good drift. But i think Raina is better. Yuvi was a lobber couple of years back. Then he started using faster ones effecitvely. Now he is really turning the ball across the bat of batsmen. Yusuf Pathan. Strictly not a part timer. He is slightly in between. On a gripping surface for his height , the fast off breaks could be too much for players lacking technique. Others Duminy actually rips the ball across just like regular offies. He bowls with fair degree of accuracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineleg Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Raina, Rohit, Yuvi, Yusuf Pathan should bowl atleast 10 or 12 overs between them combined for the T20 Worldcup matches. If we can get 10 overs combined from them, then we should have Irfan Pathan as all rounder and take {Pragyan Ojha, Praveen Kumar and RP Singh} as the specialist bowlers. Bhajji or Pragyan Ojha one of them - depending on the form Also, Praveen Kumar or Zaheer Khan or RP Singh - can alternate. PK only becos RP Singh, Irfan Pathan, ZK all left-handers. Ishant Sharma will be costly due to the no-balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Ya, I was gonna point that out abt Raina. He pauses and bowls. Also, Rohit has a languid action which contributes to that loop and drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4te Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 It has a lot to do with the pitches. Not sure if English pitches will be conducive to spin... It may swing a lot, so medium pacers will prolly do better there :dontknow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium pacer allrounder for Eng conditions - we have plenty of part timers who can roll their arms over for some spin (including Sehwag) 2. Nayar (big shot player) can accelerate the score better than R. Jadeja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nayar would definitely provide more variety and different options for Dhoni. Having a medium pacer in England would definitely be a bonus considering how Ganguly and Bangar have been able to take wickets there. But we have IKP :haha: j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectre Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Good spin bowlers are always going to be difficult to hit out in T20 there is no pace to use, so no marillier shots, teams can have thirdman and fineleg inside the circle and push all the boundary riders in front of square so, unless a good player of spin/slow bowling, eventually batsman are going to hold out going for too many uppish shots and wickets will dent the scoring and within a couple of tight over, pressure will be on batting team Thats what Harbhajan fails, he doesnt go for wickets and bowling those pie-chuckers/darts trying to stop runs may not work, whereas Ohja and Powar are really successful, they might go for a few boundaries but can get 2-3 wickets.. Yusuf Pathan has been a revelation with his bowling in T20 but failed miserably in ODIs, reason he just bowls that tight line and pitching the ball in length difficult to hit out and with variations in pace, he is a handful In ODIs, batsman just can wait and play him for singles or take him apart if field is in, in T20, they can easily hold out Raina is being very smart, delaying the release making it tuff for the batsman and Rohit with his drift One of the comm told, its tuff to bowl delaying the release like that and if one can get that, it will be very effective Whatever be the pitches, these guys are going to be tuff to hit in T20, unless the ground is too small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
