help team india to get reverse swing going...

» shared by straight point on Wednesday, February 10, 2010

i was going through routine after match press conference where i found dhoni to be refreshingly candid about india's performance, steyn bowling and what he thinks of sehwag's shot after he completed the century (tho i would have loved had someone shown guts to ask the same question about sachin too but anyhow...) but one thing which caught my attention was this...

When that happens with four bowlers and two fast bowlers they have something to play with. But it never happened for us, it became really tough for the fast bowlers to either contain them or get them out. Hopefully in Kolkata we'll get the reverse swing going. Whatever legal ways are there we tried to get the reverse swing going but it didn't happen for us.

as we all know ball tampering is the flavor of the season thanks to afridi... so i thought why not devote some time to devise (legal) ways of ball tampering...?

here are some i could think of...

  • wear really scuffed and pointed abdominal guard under your pants...
  • close-in fielders... do the same but with inner pads...
  • wicket keeper can use really rough leather on the portion where they pouch the ball...
  • instead of throwing at wickets... target helmet, pads or bat of batsman instead...
  • throw the ball on pitch as hard as you can when the appeal is turned down...

come on guys... give me more...

ps: in a way i am glad that out of 12 wickets... 11 fell to seamers today and not to (indian) spinners... otherwise icc would have come knocking bcci door...
