Role Of Pace Bowling In Cricket : [Part -2]

avatar

Hello and welcome back once again in the only sporting tribe of the blockchain.Greetings to you all and specially cricket lovers who are naturally fond of watching and gossiping with friends, taking on the general theme --recent cricketing actions and funny facts.You are all welcomed here.

In the previous segment, we vitally discussed some of the insidious things and facts that quite systematically been observed by me and as I moved on looking at it, I came out getting even more incredible truths which made me write more of it.In the game of cricket, it is well known to the recognised spectators that "pace bowling attack" plays a very effective and lead role in all the formats.Seamers are known as the strike bowler who prominently holds action.

Today,lets talk about more of the things from pace bowling side.Like I said, no bowling side is complete without having quality pace attack on their side.If you are well versed in cricketing understanding, then you would come to see those teams having vital strength in seam attack, they likely to win in most of the cases, unless the pitch is spin -friendly.

How Pace Bowling Cuts A Good Figure.

This be a great point to make, because I can see some hidden story behind the design of pace bowling.Quite a few days ago, as I talked about the origin of cricket, I enclosed an imaginary scene,that was like ;how cricket we got as a game and what things influenced it to become as a lead sport in global level.

I envisioned a scene,supposing a friend throwing stones at the other beside a sea-shore and holding a stick in hand, he had no options but to defend his body with the use of stick.So,all his vigilant effort that time went to striking the stone to some distance, one after another and pretty quickly they began to catch a plan -ok, lets invent a game, lets put more rules, lets lodge some sticks in the ground and instead of defending the body, coming up defending the sticks, which they named as stumps.

And pretty quickly a game developed and then it turned into a sport played outside home, team developed and forming club in so many regions of the world,resulting in creating board to regulate cricket to a specific region and a central entity, named as ICC to control the world cricket and thats how cricket became the sport we see now.

This is just a brief summary of the whole closed history of the game, sorry for bringing this off topic here, but citing this example has a point to clear.If you would look deep in the story I imagined,most probably the truth would be the fact that,it was the running pace ball that has been bowled, since at the inception of the match,there were no such pitch developed to play,then I can deduce clearly --it was not the spin ball, but pace attack that came as the first version back at that time.

The Game Plan -Placing Pace Attack First.

Now,its down to the coach and team management for making plans to do what they want to do,of course there would be pitch curation report that would be the diagnostic samples to identify, whether the game plan be of the pace oriented or the other.But, out of experience, that much I can say that ;most of the time,quality coaches look for quality pace bowlers.

Interesting one fact I would like to make is, if you could see the number of trophies won most by the national level,such as Ausies winning 5 grand Championships and other minor ones, what was their basic strength and which points they relied most to came out successful? Going to that particular fact, one thing would be obviously true,that the team had rich pacers with quality manipulating skills, the squad could easily destroy strong batting line-up, within blink of an eye.

Does Physical Ability Subjected To Anthropology?

This would be my personal opinion, I have felt most of the time, the oceania and Tasmanian territory and the structure of soil,aquatic nutrition, the weather, sea foods and the bio-diversity in that region are the things that made them that much physically capable with vital strength. Pace bowling takes lot of energy and also a perfect rhythm for executing bowling attacks.

Australia as a country produced world class pacers who as a join team provided the nation with glorious trophies. I would say, thats due to the century long time span of playing cricket, not becuase its ready skills, but academic support is a vital factor for seam bowlers. Some of the physically weak bowlers seemingly got many instant success, but they couldn’t hold onto that for longer period--in that case they lacked consistency and dedication to maintain physical balance and stature.

But there has been more of other examples in this instance, we all have heard the name of Sri-Lankan cricketing legend, Lasith Malinga, the little magician, he wasnt that much tall or physically capable ;didnt have the bombing ability to blast before the batters eye,and thunderously taking wicket, it wasnt the case of pace.

It was something else, it was remarkable an exceptional skill that made him great, --it was the ability to manipulate bowling at the level of elite action, whenever the match demanded a quick and camouflaged yorker to choke the batsmen and reducing run flow --Malinga was unmatched to others.He had serious ability to bowl six yorkers in six consecutive ball in an over!!
How awfully dangerous that was for opposition!!

The scene reminds me to look out at the events that happened quite few years ago, he took 4 wickets in an International match,and one after another, all those time, every ball was picture perfect yorker, and laughingly true,out of the fun fact it was, everyone got stunned to see wickets in their behind getting boomed! Getting slammed and flipping like circus pad! Ha ha ha..I just cannot resist laughing, give me a second!! 😃😅

Pace As A Fascinating Bowling To Watch.

This is my personal opinion, that even if not all the pitches support pace, because it needs grassy and green wicket for pace bowling magic, but to some cases, specially wickets in indian subcontinent offers not more than waist high bounce as offer for pace bowlers,things remain that.So, pitches in that region are much likely to be slow and spin friendly.

But coming to london and west side pitches,back to Melbourne and Sydney to Canberra to Wellington, New Zealand, pitches become like rocket launching pad and some of the bounces pose threats to take on the helmet,then ducking downward remain the only option, to protect the head and play safely.Lets forget the accident!!

So,overall pace bowling is a nice edition and those who hold strength here, holds the trophies high and understands cricket very much.Thanks for reading and I could see some nice comments from you, guys.Feel free to opine how you felt about these ideas.Until next time with another fact --good bye.

Value of pace bowler is a lot because we know if there is swing and bounce they are effective but when there are no swing and bounce still they can beat batsman with the pace. With the pace they can able to give less time to react for batsman. For fast bowler, W.A.C.A. Parth is best and all fast bowler love to play there.
