How difficult is it to bowl a yorker in an opening spell?

[uak92]

It seems like an impossible thing for the Pakistani bowlers to bowl yorkers even at the end of an Innings and Bhumrah on the other hand, bowl yorkers starting in his first over and gets wickets as well.

I am not an expert, so I don't know how this works, but what kind of skill should you have to bowl yorkers in the beginning of an innings or at will anytime? Why can't most of our bowlers do it?

Bumrah is one of rare breed in cricket .he and malinga are once a generation bowler who can bowl yorker at will in any stage of inning with 100% perfection.

Having said that there is no excuse for pakistan bowlers to not bowl yorker at death over

 

[iPakistani]

Bowling a yorker at any time of the innings has the same amount of difficulty to it. Our bowlers just don’t think they should bowl it because they can’t think outside of the box.

Fitness is main issue for Pakistan bowlers they seems tired at death overs .if there is no reverse swing they get exposed badly

Bowling accurate Yorkers requires practice in the nets but a new Ball or opening spell is not a requirement. You can bowl a Yorker on the first ball with a rock hard new ball.

 

[asfandyar]

I think one way Hasnain can make himself useful is by practicing bowling yorkers. 4 yorkers every over, 1 bouncer, 1 slower one.

 

[Bhaijaan]

I think it al comes down to how hard you have worked at that skill. Its just like bodybuilding. If you stick to the diet and routine you will make muscles. Similarly if you work hard at bowling yorkers, you will get it right. Bumrah seems to have worked very hard at developing this skill which stands him apart compared to other Indian bowlwers.

 

[Saj]

If you are good enough you should be able to bowl a yorker at any time during the match.

Sadly too many bowlers these daysare incapable of actually bowling a yorker when they want to or when the team needs them to.

 

[Pakpak]

Bowling yorkers isn't easy otherwise everyone would be doing it. It requires a lot of control and accuracy.

 

[saeedhk]

The problem with Pak bowlers is that they lack basic cricketing IQ. They don’t even try to bowl a yorker. It’s just as simple as that. You won’t get a yorker right if you don’t try it. Pak bowlers just look like 5 year olds who will bowl according to whatever you tell them before the delivery.

 

[Ronaldo7]

an attempted Yorker can easily turn into a full toss hence bowlers are reluctant to use it at times.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think there is no excuse for a specialist fast bowler for not being able to bowl a yorker at any stage of the game , its what they practice in nets and bowl 100s of them in first class season.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Don't forget that bowling a yorker takes a lot out of you. Our bowlers have either poor fitness or are afraid to get injured so they avoid bowling yorkers and avert to "slower balls".

The day Pak pacers started bowling slower deliveries as their surprise weapon things started going downhill. It's so overrated and easy to pick after a few times.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You gotta deliver when the batsman expects the least. If you can bowl why not. Bumrah got 2 wickets with yorkers in 2 warm up games inside power play

 

[jnaveen1980]

But your players can also suggest. Some captains suggest bowling bouncer, slow wide yorkers. They have some signals they send to the bowler.

I heard bumrah puts a shoe infront of the stumps and bowls over 500 balls or something to try and it at hit the shoe flush every time . That type of dedication and hard work is required which I’m sure our bowlers don’t have also. Even one of the commentators was saying he saw bumrah the first time and he thought he looked like an innocent schoolboy which he does lol. But he’s the most furious and frightening fast bowler in world cricket right now not only that he is extremely humble but is also extremely hard working which is why he’s come a long way from getting smashed by Umar Akmal to being the best bowler in the world .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Josh Hazlewood did that even in tests. With brand new ball he bowled KL Rahul with a yorker

Getting smashed by Akmal of all people? When?

 

[Mean&Green]

Getting smashed by Akmal of all people? When?

Yes against Lahore lions it was a champions league t20 match Mumbai Indians vs Lahore lions. It was bumrahs starting days he was very young Umar Akmal smashed him for like a 16 runs in an over and won Lahore the game

 

[Captain caveman]

A combination of batting innovations(using full depth of the batting crease, scoop shots etc) and much larger bats, mean that bowling a yorker in the start of an innings is risky as you only have 2 fielders outside the 30 yard ring. You need to be deadly accurate also, if you are slightlly out with your yorker then the delivery becomes an easy hit me ball. In death overs you have more protection with 5 fielders outside the ring. Also, to bowl yorkers requires a lot of strength as you are basically hurling a 5 and quarter ounce objectile 22 yards in a non reflexing throwing motion. Doing such an activity, several times will zap your strength and if you still have to bowl another 8 or 9 overs, will affect your performance.
As for pak bowlers not being able to bowl yorkers, both wahab and hasan ali can bowl yorkers if they choose, normally at the death. But if you want a pak bowler who bowls yorkers at the start, middle and end of an innings, then your man is HARIS RAUF! Please enquire from misters arthur and ul haq, why they did not select him for this wc.

 

[WengerOut]

Fantastic 2 yorkers by Bumrah in practice matches. Come finals, he may deliver his customary choking.

 

[giri26]

Well bowling yorkers take a lot of the bowler and to be frank if you can do it with the new ball, that is when the batter is least expecting it. At the death all batsman expect yorkers and are prepared for the same. Bumrah's two yorkers were bowled at the start when the batter is expecting bouncers or length deliveries.

 

[FreakCricket]

Bowling Yorkers mean full toss or half vollies starting of an inning which is risky hence short of length
