Now if two very aggressive batsman manage to score only 30 in four overs then I can't see moderates doing anything. The quality of bowlers seems good as they kept the aggressives withing their limits. Blindless slogger won't last long with good bowling. He might biff one or two but won't last long. The tailenders are genuine tail enders. The score is within reach. But whats the pitch like? How good our batsman are and the what are their bowlers like? 216 is a very big score even for 20-20 and I can't see us chasing it down unless the slogger slogs to his century. The situation now is chasing 187 runs in 16 overs which is impossible if the bowlers are like McGrath. More info. needed. Wink

@ Monty, speak for yourself mate haha.

Interesting that both joelza and LethalYorker decided to take the pace off the ball in that scenario. I agree with you both on that point, by saying it was a soft and grassy pitch i was trying to paint a picture of a typical early season english pitch at club level. Often on these tracks the dibbly dobbly slow medium pacers are the hardest to play. The only point i would disagree with you on Lethal Yorker is that i would ask the spinner to flight the ball rather than dart it in. Perhaps have the mid on, mid off and mid wicket back and try and get the batsmen to throw his wicket away. As soon as a wicket falls i would bring Mr Black back into the attack in place of the spinner to try and blow the batsmen away with pace.

okay what i will do is take mr black and mr green out of the attack and take out 2 slips and the gully and have men in the circle with 1 slip in place. I would then Introduce a double change with Mr Orange giving him a man around the bat i will tell him to keep the ball nice and full and with occaisional slower balls. And i would introduce Mr Blue with 2 men around the bat with a slip with a reasonable normal field and i would tell him to bowl wicket to wicket, ill have fine leg up and ill tell him to slip an occaisional arm ball and top spinner and ill tell him not to flight the ball too much but just dart the ball in. After a couple of overs i would introduce Mr Black back into the attack and i would keep the spinner operating on one end while i rotate the quick bowlers. I would throw in Mr red around the wicket to the right hands drifting the ball away.]]> Thu, 27 Dec 2007 14:27:49 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=169056#169056 You be captain! : Well i'd get mr green out... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=168983#168983 Author: joelza1990

How about something a bit more realistic?

The scenario:

The opposition win the toss and send you in to bat. You struggle to 155 off 40 overs. The pitch is soft and grassy. Your bowling attack is as follows:

Mr Black - Right Arm Fast Medium - Regularly bowls 75mph +, your quickest bowler.

Mr Green - Right Arm Medium Fast - Out swings the ball a lot and has reasonable pace but does bowl too short sometimes.

Mr Orange - Right Arm Medium - Military medium bowler, bowls full with outswing and is accurate but lacks pace.

Mr Blue - Right Arm Off Spinner - not a massive turner of the ball but usually very economical.

Mr Pink - Right Arm Medium Fast - Average pace, can spray the ball around but gets good inswing and has a good yorker.

Mr Red - Left arm Medium - Part timer

The opposition's openers are aggressive and take the game to you. They race to 40 off 7 overs hitting Mr Green to all parts and keeping Mr Black out. You need to do something or your team will lose...what do you do?

Here's my scenario:
It is a test match. The pitch is totally bowler friendly but the opposition comes and scores 400 and bowls you out for less than 100 and enforces follow on. There are about 25 overs left in the second day but your opener plays quite aggressively and scores some valuable runs but in process loses his wicket and the score at the end of day is 125 - 1. Rain is expected for all three days but in small amounts but it would be cloudy. 70 overs can be bowled every day. You went in with 4 bowlers, 1 bowling all rounder and your WK can bat well. Opposition bowlers are nothing out of ordinary but they are capable of taking those 10 remaining wickets. You have two greats in your team. One of them is a bowler who was injured on first day but will recover and play on day four. Another player is a batsman who remained not out in the first innings too scoring 53. Your team is just slightly better than the opposition but luck hasn't favoured your team as 4 run outs resulted in first innings and some plumb decisions didn't go your way. The series is 1-1 in three test match series. What would you do?

This situation is something I like to call an average Australian day and they will demolish the opposition. No way to control it. They are going to win in a canter. What's the series result right now. If we have already lost the series. I would give it a go by playing aggressively and take a chance of winning as we would lose anyhow. Field placing will be aggressive and I would bring back my fast bowler to compliment the spinner as you never know he might reverse swing and could take wickets just on pace as the players are big hitting ones. ]]> Mon, 24 Dec 2007 18:31:39 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=168915#168915 You be captain! : the 2 openers were both very aggressive... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=168914#168914 Author: LethalYorker

That situation has got out of control plus you have just changed the situation mate. There is not enough information. Like how good the bowlers are. How good the batsman are facing spin and pace. Is the batting line up strong. How good the lower order batsman are. Are they playing with five bowlers ??? Wink

Wink

But if the situation is at 170-3 I would keep the spinners on attacking mode and if they pick up a couple more wickets maybe even four if possible. Then bring my fast bowler on to unsettle the lower order.

I think they should play there natural games. Of course be sensible let the good ones through to the keeper, work the singles and put the bad balls away and look for runs.
