Viscount Tom
International Debutant
That awkward moment when you can start to take Glenn's prediction seriously.
I have no problem with the bouncer when it's well directed and not delivered for six balls an over. Both Ishant and ZK played them poorly when funnily in Melbourne they faced the short stuff well. On another day, Hilfenhaus would not take wickets with those deliveries and the same posters would be screaming "pitch it up you mug".hahah yeah. although if the indian tailenders are gonna play the short ball as badly as they have today, siddle and pattinson can go for it.
Hilf has used them judiciously and they've been at the face. That's the way to do it. Pitch up and look for an edge and then throw in the odd surprise one (or bowl a perfectly directed on first up). That's the opposite of the too short too often crap that gets my goat.No no no. Hilfenhaus bowled some good bouncers, however the one criticism of our bowlers when bowling to the tail has been the number of bouncers they bowl.
You saw the last over? He was.Bad play by MS, really should have looked to smash quick boundaries.
Tomas had a theory about the Indian batting, that he mentioned in passing. Is he still around or has he been banned already?I don't even know what to make of this Indian team, they look so good at home and perform worse than minnows away. Indian Cricket has taken a huge step back to the days of 90s, IMO.
The only bad play was not running that second run. He has been striking near a four every over and you cannot expect him to face 100% of all deliveries.Bad play by MS, really should have looked to smash quick boundaries.
Referring to him taking that single. I know he was trying for a double there but really, he should have refused the single until the last 2 deliveries.You saw the last over? He was.
WTF are you talking about.Referring to him taking that single. I know he was trying for a double there but really, he should have refused the single until the last 2 deliveries.
