Will our bowling swing between crap and good!?
« on: May 18, 2006, 06:11:51 PM »
Our bowling is extremely inconsistent.
Utter crap some days, decent some days, rarely consistently good.
Forget the runs scored by batsmen, the # of no balls and wides...

Current guys bowl a lot of wides, no balls...

Past guys did (ZK, AN)

In crucial matches, looks like our bowling attack will throw it away.
With this inconsistent attack, how do we fancy WC-07 chances?

Please stop RP singh nowwe have his 9 out of thee way. Imagine if we had dropped AA as suggested by some and played 6 batsmen!!! With our bowling attack we need 5 bowlers bcoz AA too will have a lot of off days. For all u know he may get hit for 30-40 in his next 3!!!!

DD - i don't have the loads of patience that u have for our inept bowling.


Avinash -
AA did well today but as u said we can never be sure.
Talking of experience, I am not too sure experienced ZK or AN will do any better.

In a pitch that suited fast bowlers + seam/swing bowlers + overcast conditions, our bowling has sucked big time due to lack of discipline.

Discipline needs to be instilled into the young ODI bowlers - we need a bowling coach.
(i may be harping on this discipline thingy, but the lack of it will prove real costly for us).

GC is making a big mistake (no specialist coaches) and will be exposed in WC-07 when our bowlers get hit.

We did have a bowling coach of sorts when India used Bruce Reid in the 04 Australian tour. Surely some one would have evaluated whether that helped our bowlers- and whether there is a need for something like that now.

Our bowling has been inconsistent from the days of ZK, AN - the legacy has been continuing except for rare occasions.
