Old guy Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 All length balls. Not a single yorker but furious pace. You need to see where batsmen were standing and their strengths All of them were leg side sluggers stepping out and playing across so best ball was full outside off at pace they were not length balls

They mainly struggled with pace.

rkt.india Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 They were not length balls From where they were standing and aiming it was best place to bowl it doesn't matter where they were. Length balls are length balls. How does it matter where they were standing? Their poor batting doesn't mean they weren't length balls. They found them hard because they were really quick.

If batsman was standing deep u adjust by bowling even more fuller if he is standing 1 feet out u bowl at his feet and if u bowl like before it will turn into full toss In the end from pitch map they might seem wide and short but for batsman most of those balls were hard to hit and not just because of pace

How can it change that those were length deliveries? They were hard to hit because of pace, not because of length. Length was hittable but line was wider and at high speeds.
vvvslaxman Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 they were all length balls outside off stump. They mainly struggled with pace. One ball was a slower one.. One that Nathan got out.
Old guy Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 but how does it matter where batsman is? How can it change that those were length deliveries? They were hard to hit because of pace' date=' not because of length. Length was hittable but line was wider and at high speeds.[/quote'] Because batsman cannot get under it if it's at his feet Pitch map does not shows u where batsman played the ball It was hard for them to get under any ball that's all I am saying ..if they stood deep in crease steyn would have bowled Yorker length but since they were outside the crease he pulled length back otherwise Yorkers would have been full toss
vvvslaxman Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Dale did one thing. He kept the ball on one side. There was a teeny tiny movement he was able to get alongwith good pace. Also new batsmen mean pressure. Dale exploited the pressure beautifully. They should have tried to take a single from ball 1.

For some reason even with scrabbled seam steyn moves the ball away ..maybe it's angle and at his pace it was hard to hit it to mid wicket etc which were the strength of batsmen batting Some one like Chota mcculum could have hit those balls but leg side sluggers like ronchi will struggle
Danno Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Kiwis played the bowler, not the ball in that last over. And they lost the match.
veer Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 This guy is freaking scary to look at and more scary to face.. Wish we can have a match where Kohli on one end and Dhoni on other end to face Steyn in last over with 10-12 runs needed..
veer Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Kiwis played the bowler' date=' not the ball in that last over. And they lost the match.[/quote'] that's very easy for you to say.... the guy was on fire from ball one..

Wish we can have a match where Kohli on one end and Dhoni on other end to face Steyn in last over with 10-12 runs needed.. we will win easily .. even rohit smashed steyn for six at end to win game in ipl and he was bowling like this only..
maniac Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 we will win easily .. even rohit smashed steyn for six at end to win game in ipl and he was bowling like this only.. I rest my case :icflove:
Old guy Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I rest my case :icflove: please..he was asking how our best 2 batsmen will do against steyn and i gave him example that even our batsmen like rohit have smashed him in similar situations he was chasing 10 odd no ? and hit him for six last ball it was first inning which came to my mind while reading his comment.
Danno Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 that's very easy for you to say.... the guy was on fire from ball one.. Steyn didn't bowl any special deliveries. They were all length balls, pretty fast ones though. Kiwis were just all over the place, swinging at everything. As said earlier, they played the bowler, not the ball.
zep1706 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I watched it and I personally think it was a case poor batting than great bowling. He bowled all length balls, yes they were fast but a good batsman would have smacked them out of the park.
