Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf were hit boundaries off the slower ones against BD today at crucial times.
A good set of rules to follow if you have a good slower one and you are a fast bowler:-
- never ball the first ball to the batsman if he hasn't faced you yet. Let him feel your pace first the bowl a slower one to deceive
- never bowl the first ball to a tailender a slower one. They usually don't have batting instincts. Al they see is a slow ball, which is easier to hit, if they are strong and have quick hands
- slower ones are a good option when your are bowling against the wind. If the wind is behind you the slower ones are not that effective, particularly against a set batsman
These are the things that I learned the hard way and was also taught by professional cricketers.
The Pakistani genuine fast bowlers bowl too many slower ones from both ends. They don't have to bowl too many slower ones, particularly against the lower order. Even the bowlers who didn't play today (Nassem Shah) are found guilty of making the same mistake.
