What's with the slow short filth on leg stump?

Would love to read a copy of England's death bowling game plan. If it were to hypothetically exist.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's absolutely awful. Not buying this "terrific batting" stuff from the commentators. That over had a long hop outside off, a not very quick bouncer with no fiedler behind square on the leg side, and a full delivery on the pads. uYou'd expect any batsman to put those away.

This is an unfair criticism. It definitely exists, they stick to it religiously even if every ball is going to the fence they don't change it. The justification, however, would be very interesting.

 

[Cabinet96]

My personal thoughts on England's death bowling is that they look at the numbers and find that the slower ball bouncer is the most economical ball, or goes to the fence the least etc. But that's probably a stat that is the result of it being used once or twice an over. England try to use it four or five times an over and it just completely reduces its effectiveness.

I'd be really interested to see death overs data tbh. England get all that stuff and we don't, so I think they obviously have reason that we don't necessarily see.

So where would the slow leg stump bouncer with square leg inside the circle fit into a plan?

Do they do this? They tend to have fine leg up with square leg, midwicket and long on back and angle it on a short length. Someone like Maxwell is good enough to get inside it and smack it behind square though, because it's so predictable.

 

[Spark]

This is ridiculously poor

 

[Burgey]

This is appalling bowling. Can't believe how bad it is

 

[Cabinet96]

Interesting that the strike rate per length at the death there was 75% on a good length and <200% for short and 150% for yorker. Good length still the way to go?

Looks like Eng haven't learnt about death bowling in the past 2 months or so.. what is with this short ball rubbish? Bowl a ****ing yorker you ****s.

We've definitely had some. Also currently enjoying four men back on the legside with short balls outside off.

 

[Spikey]

I usually take the view that it's pretty damn hard to bowl at the death and you're gonna get thumped and etc but man this is so dumb.

Very small sample size.

 

[Cabinet96]

So every ball will finish with an economy rate above a run a ball.

 

[Cabinet96]

Today has raised the question of "why do they bowl X at the death" four times and comprehensively answered it as well. Everyone has been smashed.

 

[Burgey]

What a catch. Brilliant

 

[Antihippy]

I would laugh so hard if Finn got a hat trick.

 

[Spikey]

I think England needed a 6th bowler today

 

[Cabinet96]

Ahahahaha.
