King Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Re: Whatever happened to Pinch Hitting In fact Mongia did pretty well in that Desert Strom game. I remember Mongia coming in at no.3 and blasting away (not Dhoni style) for runs @ say about a strike rate of 80. Now with about 20 overs of power play and restricted fielding the pinch hitting has taken a back seat. You don't need to pinch hit to take advantage of field restrictions. Also now the captains may not opt to take the power play after 10 overs and that will pretty much off set the pinch hitting. Link to comment
audioman Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Re: Whatever happened to Pinch Hitting The best two pinch-hitters I saw were Mark Boucher and Pat Symcox. They were pinch-hitters in the real sense of the word, they used to have a go at just about everything. Link to comment
