One ball to get a great player out.

[number11]

Hypothetical situation:

If you're the bowling captain and you have to get a set, great player out - a Lara, a Richards, Tendulkar, Ponting etc, who would you want to bowl that single ball?

 

[ankitj]

Lara - Yorker at extreme pace. May be you get him due to his high back lift.

Tendulkar - in-swing at good length.

I am basically thinking of Waqar felling Lara and Donald breaking Tendulkar's stumps.

Sachin - just get some dumb medium pace trundler to come in, preferably a debutant

 

[Silver Silva]

Lasith Malinga , Yorker King

 

[Coronis]

William Eric Hollies.

 

[Jumno]

Waqur at his peak

Or Donald

Tendulkar was susceptible to hanging his bat out for a caught behind and to the lbw

 

[GIMH]

I’d just get Ashley Giles to bowl at Tendulkar, job done

 

[Ali TT]

Brett Lee, beamer

Waqar, with an old ball, is about as unplayable as anyone ever got in the game of cricket. Going for him.

New ball, I'd go Steyn.

 

[Silver Silva]

Hansie Cronje had a habit of getting Tendulkar out

 

[smash84]

yeah, I would say peak Waqar at his peak bowling an inswinging yorker might be the best bet.

 

[Prince EWS]

I’d just get Michael Vaughan to bowl at Tendulkar, job done

Fixed.

There was one ball that Lara got from Gillespie in the first test of the famous Frank Worrell Trophy in 1999, I think in the second innings. I reckon it was pretty much unplayable for any left hander and more importantly, unsurvivable. Felt like any leftie there was getting out to that ball one way or the other.
