modern tactic of bowling liquorice allsorts fails just as often as it works because the bowler can't get in a groove and just bowls bulk wides and **** balls
Maybe but only if you're playing at huuuuuge ground, and bowling would have to be absolutely on-pointGet an offie on and pack the legside field
Yes - I think the "yorkers yorkers yorkers" brigade neglect the high risk in yorkers. And also the predictability factor.Yorkers, as tempting as they may be are fraught with risk. One slight misplacement and they'll be carted for 6. Be aware that this is the most tense situation and you need to have nerves of steel to deliver with pin point accuracy.
That over that Stokes bowled to Braithwaite in the T20 final was attempted yorkers - had the batsman stepped forward as a bowler would have expected him to in a death over. But he stayed back and carted 4 sixes.
You act like this is a commonly accepted premise but I think some people think you should always try to hit the yorker on the basis that there isn't likely to be many runs if you get it right.The first thing about bowling at the death is to not be predictable. Which kinda renders the discussion a bit useless, doesn't it? It is not just about what you bowl but what the batsman thinks or knows you can bowl, based on your previous bowling (in that game or before) and the fields that are set etc. As long as you have 3 or 4 different varieties of balls that you can nail, you are ok more often than not. Also remember going at less than 10 runs an over and less than 2 boundaries an over is actually good death bowling in most games.
Sure... because while we consider yorker to be a length, it actually does vary coz the aim is to hit the batsman on the toes, and it varies based on where the batsman stands. If you are good enough to nail 6 yorkers an over, you should go for it. But even Malinga was not there and I dont think I have seen anyone who was that good.You act like this is a commonly accepted premise but I think some people think you should always try to hit the yorker on the basis that there isn't likely to be many runs if you get it right.
