NotCricinfo.com Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Shame on Starc for bowling bouncers to tail enders. What exactly is the point of it? Tail enders are not skilled enough to negotiate bouncers. As a result Yadav got hurt and even bleeded. Then the Aussies pretended to care only for Starc to comes back and bowl a bouncer again. That's against the spirit of the game. Starc also kept sledging Wahab Riaz while bowling to him. He must think bullying and bowling out tail enders is some kind of achievement. Starc can thank his stars that he never faced Wahab's bowling later. Looking at how clueless Watson was against Wahab's bouncers, Starc would've ended up bleeding. What a douche.
zep1706 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Absolute douchebag. More so, considering India were in no position to win the game.
bones Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I think all of you are idiots. Firstly the bouncer is a completely legitimate delivery. Secondly the bouncer is an effective method of getting tailenders out as they often either go for it or fend the ball off. Thirdly it is a good setup ball as it was in this case. It pushes players back and then the bowler can pitch up. Nothing wrong with Starc or Aus with this approach. If Yadav can't hack it, maybe cricket isn't for him.
beetle Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Our pacers got most wickets on short deliveries no????

If the number 11 can't play bouncers, cricket isn't for him?:hysterical: Raina can't play bouncers and he's a successful batsman. And you are justifying bodyline bouncers to number 11? Maybe you've never heard of this "code". You don't bowl bouncers to tail enders. Yadav was going to get out on straight deliveries.
ExpressPace Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Let's not be bangali for sachin sake, his job is to take wicket and he can use any tactics he wants. OP must be from Bengal hence same whining germs are mapped in his Dan.
brendan07 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I mist have missed the "you must be nice" card. Lets not mention Yadav bowled a squillion bouncers himself....plus the bouncer set him up for the yorker!
BlueBee Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Absolute nonsense. Bouncer is a part of the game.
zep1706 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 The point here is about intention. I would not mind a bouncer to anybody if India were in with a slightest possible chance of winning the game or if it was the first innings. When you have the best yorker in the game to clean up any tail ender and when the other team has already lost the match, bowling a bouncer to a #11 batsman is no different than Jardine's bodyline cricket. That was also part of the game.

I am all for playing hard cricket and bowling bouncers. But the fact remains that it can hurt a batsman, especially a #11. When the other team has no chance of winning the game and you are bowling 150 kph bouncer to a #11, your intentions are not noble.
CG Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Its okay,starc coped many from aaron and yadav in tests.

What if india required 2 from 2 balls with Yadhav on strike? Is it okay to break his head then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thalaiva Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 It was OK when Indians bowl bouncer but not when starc does lol... Sour grapes much?
