How can I bowler decide how many runs he will give in the over???

How can a bowler decide how many runs he will give in the over??? as if there are no fielder and batsman.

[Sachinism]

Before matches you discusses oppositions strengths and weaknesses, once you know those, you know where to bowl. Your field is set for a certain type of bowling, you bowl in areas where the batsmen can get you away easy. If the batsmen are struggling, doesn't hurt to chuck in a wide, or even over-step if really required

[CSK Fan]

Yep, like bowling at leg for Kohli, not bowling short pitch to Raina but give only full length balls, etc

[Aadhavzone]

minnows are targeted, :facepalm: bowling to batsman strength!

[skindia]

conspiracy theory against sreesanth from dhoni and sreenivasan.they must have told underworld to put pressrue on sreesantrh.

[skindia]

even selecting vijay for champions trophy must have been spot fixing.

[skindia]

if everything goes as per thinking like bowling like this and batting like this/ then each batsman will hit sixes and each bowler will take wickets when he thinks.

[CSK Fan]

Dude you are blaming Dhoni to protect Sree?

[skindia]

if he is really done it then underworld ppl must have influence or given him death threat otherwise how can player behave like this if he gets so much money in IPL

[vvvslaxman]

Dinda does that all the time :hmmm: What is the big deal.

[rkt.india]

Yep' date=' like bowling at leg for Kohli, not bowling short pitch to Raina but give only full length balls, etc[/quote'] as if Raina cant hit short balls.

[Straight Drive]

Generally the bets offered are such that whether a bowler will concede a specific number of runs or more than that.It's not fixed like 13 or 14, rather 13 + runs or 14+ run etc. Just like whether a player will score 50.so even if he scores 51 the bets are won.Need not score exactly 50.In case of duck, guess who they contact nowadays. :winky:

[King Tendulkar]

Yeah I know how can it be done. I mean try and give 14 overs in an over must be hard . I mean what if you have to bowl at Ponting, how will he manage it??

[Number]

Yeah, he can't. That's why bowler doesn't decide that, bookie does. :P

[vvvslaxman]

Now i want to see that over :hmmm: Do we have edited version

[yoda]

I was thinking the same, but it is possible if they have a good plan. Let's say target is 14. You start by bowling one or two leg side deliveries. Let's say they go for 4s, now start bowling tight. If not, bowl a short pitched easily hittable one or a ball with good width etc. Typically a bowler (not in death, and not against guys like ABDV or Gayle) can keep the runs to around 10. All they need to adjust for an extra boundary or two with a few gimme deliveries.

[someone]

Of course No. It's the batsman who decides how many runs they want to score. They can score nothing if they choose to defend. Bowlers do not work with kind of that logic. It's idiotic for some to think that bowling bad will give away runs. In cricket, your good bowling can go for runs while your poor bowling can get wickets. So to put it simply as bowling bad is idiotic indeed. And even when I look at yesterday's match (MI VS RR), Chavan didn't really bowl anything different between the 1st and 2nd over. It's just the batsman took his chances in 2nd bowl. So really I am not at all sure with the logic presented here that these players bowled balls for runs.

[vvvslaxman]

It is very difficult to prove as two parties are involved in this unlike bowling noballs. One the bowler Other the batsman. There is a good chance batsman could mistime or choose to defend. I think the bet might be different other than 14 runs in 3 balls.

[Crookbond]

The bookies have a cushion - Sreesanth gave 13 runs of the over when the bookies wanted him to give 14 but it was enough for the bookies. Sreesanth got the money and the bookies made crores of the deal

[Zelig]

Bowl short and wide. Even a skunt like Faillard will hit you :idunno:
