Hey guys,
As a pace bowler, I have always bowled over the wicket, generally wicket to wicket. But mixing it up is an important part of the game, and recently I asked the umpire (my coach) if i could come bowl around the wicket, but he said 'no'.
My point being, What is the problem with this? He told me something about not being able to have four slips in . That got me thinking, what line and length should I generally bowl when bowling around the wicket and what advantages do they have, as in other competitions the official umpires will allow me to make this change.
