Helpful Track Bullies - Bowler Classification coinage

[OriginalCopy]

We often term many batsmen as Flat Track Bullies or FTBs. I say we classify bowlers who perform only in helpful conditions: Helpful Track Bullies or HTBs. Let's start a list of such bowlers: 1. Morne Morkel ?

Harbhajan Singh. I give him credit though. After each home Test in India in which he does not get a decent share of wickets he blames the track, the curator and the conditions and demands that tailor made spinning tracks be made for him to feast on. :-)

Yeah good call. Alot of swing bowlers out there, Indian ones for a start, really need conditions in their favour

[flamy]

RPS looks a demon given the right conditions

The whole australian bowling attack.

Great West Indian pacers from the 80's were anything but HTBs. Nor were Imran, Kapil, Hadlee. Not so sure about Botham, though. How about Lillee? He did not want to tour the sub continent for reasons he did not care to provide. So there is a doubt if he is not a HTB.

Nit exactly. The guy's doing great in Austraila.

Umar Gul. On pitches where there is not much reverse swing, he bowls a lot of rubbish.

Kulasekara Ishant

You kidding right?

Atleast they are Bullies, We dont have anyone except Zak who can bully even a Tailender regardless of Pitch.

[ShahidAfridi]

Bully is the wrong word. Its called taking advantage over the conditions.

Whatever. I'll still call it bullying.

Kulasekara is a real green track "bully". (would have been areal bully if he was 7 - 8k faster). But the problem is there are not much of green tracks for him in SL. The prime examples of GTB are Lillee, Fraser, Cork and those umpteen number of English trundlers.
