DomainK Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 From Scotland. He dismissed both Kallis and Smith in his first over. He does something very interesting....something I have never seen before. He ran up and stopped for a full two seconds before releasing it. That must have been so confusing for the batsman. He had done that a few times and now the batsman is never sure when the ball will come. Smart, isn't he? Link to comment
Shane Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Smart, but it think it should be done sparingly and thus would be more effective. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 yea.. they showed it in slowmo. Is it legal? What if bowler holds it for full 5 seconds. Link to comment

Shane Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 SA are crap against spin.welcome to our group saffers. ABDV, JPD are competant enough to handle spin bowlers, the only one who struggles may be Gibbs. Link to comment
DomainK Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 I dont think there is any law defining how a bowler's run up should be. He may have been smart, but I got the feeling that he lost control of his own delivery by stopping like that. Spinners usually depend a lot on the rhythm of their run up. He ended up bowling too many full tosses because of that stop. One should not try anything smart unless one is in control. Link to comment

Yup, on a few occasions he overpitched, Raina did it well in the IPL, it was more of a pause, where as Haq was stop - start. Link to comment

DomainK Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Haha.. reminds me of the bowler in Lagaan :hysterical: lol....that can still be done. I dont think there is still any rule saying that a bowler can only roll his arm over once once. :D Link to comment
Dinx - the Jinx Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 when switch hitting is legal, why not this? Link to comment
