Why do Indian batsmen have 0% skill and 0% talent vs the moving ball? It is not like they don’t have exposure to lateral movement.
They have state of the art facilities and GOAT bowlers like Bumrah who move the ball miles so they get ample practice as well.
One would imagine that all other fast bowlers would be a piece of cake for Indian batsmen because they are getting practice vs the GOAT Bumrah.
How can you get out to Matt Henry and O'Rourke when you are facing GOAT Bumrah in the nets? Unbelievable.
Answer is simple... All batsmen (even hard-core domestic batsmen) are knocking the IPL doors (T20 cricket) and to be successful in IPL they should learn to hit hard (score on every ball). For e.g., Sarfaraz guy we know him (we remember him) more for his heroics with RCB team (more than what he has done in domestics) Maybe he is still part of some IPL team... This has spoiled the technique of many Test-Specialist Batsmen (for instance even Kohli has been a failure in test cricket for various demands across various formats and various stages... He is already both mentally & physically drained with his commitments in RCB)
So we fans have to live with this... But at least IPL has improved our mental toughness and also the quality & stamina (+adaptability) of our bowlers is improved now! Even though we are not winning many ICC trophies post-IPL we are at least being dominant at home + extremely competitive overseas (its not like we are getting hammered in South Africa, England, NZ... We are at least competitive and many close games & drawn series). We fans are somehow happy with this, but at the same time we are also angry because with bit of sensible moves we can improve our performance in International Cricket.
Like shielding some players from playing IPL (by paying them some higher amount for not being part of IPL) players like Pant, Rahul, Sarfaraz, Jaiswal, etc, should never be playing IPL... (If so, they will be even more consistent in Test Cricket. Somebody like KL Rahul is the best example of how a really good cricketer can turn out to become a clown!) Also bowlers like Siraj - if they don't play IPL they can improve their mental & physical strength for test cricket... Also even if some of these players don't play IPL it won't affect IPL tournament. We have enough IPL specialists like Rinku, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, SKY, etc.. The show can run (heck we can even increase foreign players to 5 or 6 per team if needed). But we don't have plan-B for giving financial & cricketing security to test specialists...
But all these is not going to happen and the system is more commercial-centric rather than chasing victories (Australian Cricket Board is different and they would be handling this situation & resources differently!) So we have to live with this below-par performances... But our talent-resources should not be blamed for this...
The issue with handling moving ball is because batsmen have lost their patience in defense (even Pakistani batsman are better in defensive cricket than Indians today! All because of the demands of IPL) Historically Indian Batsmen were actually good in handling moving balls. In 70s & 80s we had success in England & NZ rather than Aus & WI/SA... Also we won world cup in England when conditions in ODI were more bowler-friendly... We also had many bowlers/alrounders who could swing the ball nicely... (like England & NZ today)... All has changed now...
