Short Ball-Expert review

Doesn’t matter how talented you are, doesn’t
matter how well techniques you have got,
doesn’t matter which color of cheery you are
facing, doesn’t matter how many runs you
have scored, doesn’t matter how big player
you are, a bowler pitching it short and the
cheery passing right by your nose where you
can smell it, is a Nightmare you will never
wanna see as a batsman. No experts or bio
technicians can explain the right way to
answer the question that has been asked by
a bowler with a short ball. It becomes more
dangerous in the pitches apart from sub
continent when it comes to your body at
around 140 KPH. Even the best batsman like
Sir Donald Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar and
Ricky Pointing has suffered in some phases of
their career from its saber.
For batsman from sub continent who isn’t
used to with the pace and bounce finds it
more difficult but it doesn’t mean batsman
from bouncy pitches finds it easier to play. In
first and second test of Ashes series leaving
one or two wickets, other all to fall are to the
short balls. Also in recent West Indies vs New
Zealand also maximum number of wickets
has fallen to the short ball, which explains
how difficult it is to control a short delivery.
But if you are a bowler and can bowl at
130-140 KPH regularly then SHORT BALLS are
the best balls that will provide you wickets in
any pitches. Some great bowlers like Wasim
Akram, Tom Moody, Kapil Dev used to use it
quite often and short ball has responded
them will. In modern day cricket as a bowler
it’s a best weapon you can throw any time at
any pitches also if you can bring it back to the
body of the batsman then no doubt you will
be the most difficult bowlers to play.
Eyeing a spot in 50 over world cup, Nepal will
be playing its biggest ever tournament in New
Zealand in less than one month time. No
doubt the pitches know for their pace and
bounce are goanna trouble the Nepali
batsman who are hardly used to off it. But
once they get in there they will get value for
their shots also they will find it easier to score
though they cannot neglect the short balls
and its saga. Some of the Nepali batsmen like
Sagar Pun, Paras Khadka and Mahesh Chettri
who look a bit more comfortable to short will
have to play a role model and lead from the
front. Letting a ball go is the best way to
approach it but in t20s and one day format
leaving a ball is not that much practical as a
ball can give you six runs and six runs in a
limited over cricket has a great value. Getting
on the top of the bounce and playing along
the ground is important also feet movement
has a significant role to play. Also playing a
proper cricketing shot is important, many
batsman in recent past has lost their wicket in
playing a false shot. But if you are going at
the ball then swing your bat hard so that if
you mishit it too that won’t get to the fielders
inside the circle. But paying some respect to
the cheery you are playing especially when its
new is the best way to approach you inning.
