What can bowlers do on a flat pitch to take wickets and trouble the batsman?

Question

In the ASIA CUP, bowlers are struggling. What can they do to prevent this?

Answer 1

change of pace

and yokers

Answer 2

Everyone is right . They must bowl with good line & length. they should vary their pace & they must use reverse swing very well during the slog overs Wasim Akram used to do otherwise they will go for plenty of runs.

Answer 3

Pacers:

1. Line: on and around off stump; sometimes outside off (but don't vary the line too much and never stray on leg stump)

2. Length: variable; if you bowl same length then your good length deliveries will be lifted over long on and long off and short pitched ones will be pulled and cut easily as you are predictable (if you don't have enough control on yorkers, don't try to experiment as each mistake can cost you 4 or 6)

3. Pace: vary the pace but don't bowl too much slower balls to certain batsmen i.e. do your homework beforehand

4. Pray: all edges and miscue hits carry to your fielders and they don't drop a single one

5. Alert: Make the close fielders alert so that the batsman cannot just drop the ball in front of them and take easy single; also be ready to field in the follow through

6. Skill: If you can bowl some off cutters or leg cutters, this is the best time to bowl those and these deliveries will fetch you wickets

Spinners:

No idea; it's really difficult for them if there is not enough grip in the wicket. I think they have to rely only on their skills of turn and flight variations.

Answer 4

u c it is better to do both the things

Answer 5

only spinner bowler take  wicket and trouble the batsman

Answer 6

Good question but i reckon they should just bowl good line and lenght and try to get the batsman playing. THey should vary their pace and look for wickets

Answer 7

Just bowl on  line and lenght.....

Answer 8

yes of course a quality bowler who can bowl consistent line and length and showing some variation can scalp few wickets and this would same with spinners or faster bowlers

Answer 9

HE SHOULD JUST STICK TO THE BASICS.

Answer 10

Bowlers should be accurate in their line and length

Answer 11

Pitch short (there's no movement), so keep changing the bowling speed & line to keep the batsman guessing & suddenly bowl a full length fast ball to stun them. This was for the faster bowlers.

Spinners would do fine by just keeping their steady line & giving variations into the deliveries.

Answer 12

maybe they should drop yorkers in there ,cos that doesn't rely on the pitch conditions just speed and accuracy

bowl around the wicket ,   bowl across the seam,,     run the fingers across the seam to impart spin for fast bowlers

Edit::   Excellent!!:: question by the way best so far IMO
