i think Clark has been the one putting the pressure on too thoClark is becoming slightly over-rated IMO. Teams haven't really tried to plan against him yet due to McGrath and Warne - they've looked to score off him to relieve the pressure created by the other bowlers and they have been unsuccessful. So, in essence, the fact that he is under-rated by his fellow cricketers had led to his performances being slightly flattering. He'll come back to earth a bit now that he is the senior bowler - the fact that he gets so many wickets with balls that pitch outside the stumps and go away will come back to bite him IMO as batsmen will learn they can leave him alone a lot more than they have been.
Asif looks the real deal to me though. Certainly better than Clark, and certainly has the ability, potential and consistency to claim the title given to him (albeit prematurely IMO) in the title of this thread. He's not quite there yet, but he could certainly get there fairly soon.
Well you dont provide any and even 1 or 2 could easily be exceptions.And it's utterly silly to suggest that just because a side has lost even 4 or 5 wickets in the first 20 overs, say, that inaccurate bowling won't go round the park. There are countless examples, take a look at any game where said wicket-loss happens, and you'll see it. Almost any batsman will go after wayward bowling - and usually manage to score freely off it.
How often has the latter happened?Not read the whole thread but a quick check shows
Harbhajan
0 wickets with run rate less than 4 = India losing record
2+ wickets with run rate over 4 = India winning record
I would be too, but you'd have to look at the bowling concerned.
I'd be prepared to bet that under any circumstances, regardless of wickets that happen to fall, accurate bowling will be more economical than inaccurate stuff.
As to the examples - why don't you complain to Sean, too, as he said the exact same thing and I was merely copying him.
20 timesHow often has the latter happened?
I'd agree with the second part but not neccessarily with the former. Bad bowling will get the treatment IMO, I've seen enough examples of an early wicket or two followed by some poor bowling still resulting in a sizeable total., Apologies. I did say I hadnt read the whole thread and didnt see his post.
Obviously bad bowling will go for more runs than accurate. The argument is that bad bowling will go for less when early wickets have fallen, as will accurate bowling, as opposed to when the batting team lost no sticks. Hence wickettaking makes a big difference in terms of overall team economy and performance
Really, that many? I must have a look myself...20 times
He has taken 2 or more wickets 46 times. Out of thise 46 times, he has gone for more than 4 runs an over 20 times. Pretty mediocre bowler, if you ask me. He should be in the side until we get a decent bowler as a replacement.How often has the latter happened?
Apparently so, maybe Murphy could get the same treatment one day..Is that why he was un-banned?
Such as?He has taken 2 or more wickets 46 times. Out of thise 46 times, he has gone for more than 4 runs an over 20 times. Pretty mediocre bowler, if you ask me. He should be in the side until we get a decent bowler as a replacement.
If I knew, I'd be clamoring for his inclusion. I think Powar is better, but its too early to tell for him. I'd be happier of Chawla or another leggie comes up soon. If not, we'd have to suffer with him...but that doesn't mean he is anything but a mediocre bowler.Such as?
Sarandeep Singh?
Bhagwat Chandrasekhar?
