Your point is valid. But some batsman might know their game very well and understand their weaknesses. You might be able to probe at their weakness but they might recognise your plan if you do it for long enough.
For instance, some batsman aren't able to cut or pull the ball well against pace...
Those principles are a good starting point, but I think batsman definitely need to be set up by bowling different balls before. For instance, if they're playing against the spin, you could set them up by bowling a few balls with less sidespin and then delivering a ball with more sidespin to get...
Not at all leftie, your in depth replies are great! Keep them coming
I'll try to think of some other types of batsman and would love to hear your insight on how you'd bowl to them:
Defensive
Waiting for the bad ball
Attacking in an unpredictable manner
Front foot dominant
Bottom hand...
Hi Joe, tcs
Two elements that I personally find key to do your best in matches are:
1. Stay in the moment and enjoy yourself. Ask yourself why you bowl spin? What makes you enjoy it? For me, I find it worthwhile training on something and be able to let myself go and trust my ability to...
Would you change how you bowl to orthodox batsman than how you would bowl to unorthodox batsman?
Some generalisations may be:
orthodox -straight bat, with the spin, looks for singles, uses feet well
unorthodox - horizontal bat, swinging across the line, playing against the spin, backfoot
What would you do if you we're bowlin in good areas and the batsman was playing you and scoring too easily? Back up plan?
PS. Forgot to mention it was a synthetic wicket
Makes sense leftie
An interesting situation I came across today, I was bowling to a batsman and the pitch was wet so there was no turn or bounce and had to bowl scrambled seam. I was being hit on both side of the wickets too easily so I decided to start bowling wide with more variations to keep...
Yea might try that actually. I was at the nets today practicing my top spinner and remembered you said you like to bowl a fast top spinner in some situations. How do you manage to bowl the top spinner quicker than your leg break? I find my top spinners have a bit more loop and remember in...
I'm thinking of using the square leg spinner released from in front of the hand as my quicker ball. It will float in the air, drift in and is likely to skid on. Thoughts?
Some really good stuff there SLA
I agree with some spinners bowling too slow. Last season in the nets, I was being charged too easily so I've decided to have a little flatter stock ball and keep mixing it up.
Line of attack would change with how much the pitch is turning wouldn't it? If its...
Would love to hear what goes through your mind.
What do you do when the batsman is using his feet well to you?
Do you bowl faster on slow pitches? If so, would that affect your action a lot and how much you spin?
What's your line of attack?
What are the big tactical aspects you've noticed as...
