Lack of Application
by vishwanath ks on Jul 28, 2008 04:04 PM

Of what we have seen in the first test, it was clearly the case of lack of application by our batsmen. They were too much interested in Mendis mainia and they were done by the good old Murali. As they as " Attack is the best form of defense", the batsmen should come out of there defensive self, and try attacking the spinners. Also our spinners especially the great Bajji shld go back to the basics and shld learn few things from Murali, things like giving the ball a flight, bowling with a reduced pace, this will help him in spinning the ball. I think Bajji is taken over by the too many ODI's and T20 games and has forgot that a spinner can only get wickets if he can flight the delivery and bowl slower so that he can deceive the batsmen. I think he is just too afraid of giving away boundaries and that is wht is putting him off. Also Kumble should forget (atleast while bowling) that he is the captain of the team.
