I find it easier to bowl with new ball, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Murali-Kartik-c78034 – Cricket News Update
India’s left-arm spinner, Murali Kartik, has revealed that he likes to bowl with the new ball, as it is far easier for him to spin the new ball than the old one.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843 in the ongoing Champions League Twenty20, is famous for his ability to provide crucial breakthroughs.
Talking about his bowling technique in any form of the game, the left-arm spinner shared that he is not the one who waits for the ball to get softer, as he finds it comfortable to grip and turn the hard cricket ball.
“I haven't had to make too many changes to bowl with the new ball. Whenever I'm practicing, whether for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy, IPL, or anything, I generally grab hold of a brand new ball and bowl. I've actually found it a lot easier bowling with the new ball,”
said Karthik who has grabbed only a single wicket in four matches so far in the CL T20.
His team, Somerset, is set to meet IPL 4 runner ups, Royal Challengers Bangalore, today, October 3, 2011. It is an extremely important contest for the English side, as their last game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Australia-c844 was abandoned due to bad weather.
When asked about the problems for an orthodox spinner in the short-version tournaments like Champions League, where the batsmen love to go for the big hits, the 35-year-old spinner admitted that it is hard for the bowlers to maintain a good economy rate
in Twenty20 cricket.
He further conceded that short-format cricket is for the batsmen, who can only be kept in check using variations.
“There are certain things you do as a bowler; you try to second guess the batsman and when it comes off it looks very nice, and the day when the batsman gets the better of you, you're made to look very silly," added the Chennai-born bowler who is yet to
play his second T20 international since his debut in 2007.
