Answer 6

When we say a player is out of form I mean isn't that a bit harsh on bowlers , isn't it a excuse for batsmen to simply take away the bowlers credit ? .

I never for once believe in this phrase "He is out of form" . Dammit it makes more sense if we say He doesn't know to bat against these bowlers . I'll take two examples .

Supposedly out of Form players :

Yuvraj Singh

Hits six sixes , strikes the ball at the middle of the bat , scores a test century nearly run a ball ,lands up in Australia , struggles against the bowling , everybody says "he is in poor form , bad phase" .WTF ? He doesn't know how to bat against quality attacks

How did the form go ? jet lag ?

Ponting

Scores two ODI centuries on the trot , No large break in between series . struggles against indian bowling lineup in the test series and ODI series ,again "Form slump".It would be more honest had we accepted that he's a bit susceptible against Indian bowling

Supposedly Always in-form batsman

Mathew Hayden

Hayden's runs against India comes at more destructive price and it never diminishes ,Does it mean he is in Form ..it means Bowlers don't have penetration to get him out .

Laxman

His records against Aus speaks for itself , although everybody goes ga-ga over sachin''s heroics ..it was Laxman's batting that set up the series .Why is he so consistent against Australia ? In-form ? No.Aus don't have a plan and haven't found a weakness .

If i could erase any word from the cricketing dictionary "Form" would be my first one .
