This. You need bowl a fuller length on this pitch because of the swing and also because of seam movement. Anything shorter, the batsmen can just leave the ball because of the swing or ball will bounce high to miss the stumps. Have to be on the stumps and around the off stump otherwise it will be too wide for the batsmen to play. Most important thing is to make the batsmen play The more you make them play, the better chance of picking wickets even if you go for a few runs. The more they leave, the easier it will get later and batsmen will score runs easily.
ball has barely swung.

Those were not good lengths but short of good lengths. England bowlers early on hit mainly short of good length at 8-6 meter mark' date=' not good length at 6-4 mater mark, and were seaming big, not swing but seaming off the deck, ball barely swung much even yesterday. First people need to understand what is good length. Most of the wickets were on good lengths. They need to be on fuller side of good length at 5-4 meter as it will bring edges and LBWs, not shorter side at 7-6 meter as it will make them play and miss more than edging.[/quote'] I think when people say they should bowl full, they mean ball a more fuller length than what England did, not that they should bowl half volleys. So we are on the same page

:hysterical: Then you haven't seen the match. It swung throughout the first two sessions.
It was more seam off the pitch than swing. Dhawan delivery did swing in the air though.

Broad and Anderson were getting quite a bit of swing. But they couldnt bowl it close to the batsmen and they didnt have to play at many balls.

Yes, there was late swing close to, and after beating the bat

Actually main problem with broad was he was swinging the ball from hand and was easy to bat against for most of day

Rahane said no such thing i watched the PC. Just english media stirring the pot as always He just said that they can pitch it fuller and get some wickets - neutral statement. btw i wish we wouldnt just say that england were too short. just say that u hit the ball well and move on, we dont want to give freaking advice to england
