Cricket: Bowlers Responsible for Big Scores




-DR. ABDUL RUFF

Good, trainned bowlers and fielders can make the cricket somewhat serious, genuine and enjoyable, while bad or  bogus bowlers can ruin cricket itself.  

It is common  knowledge that bowlers and fielders, including the wicket keeper, are reso ponsivle for  the opponent batboys registering big scores that could mostly be difficult for  their own batboys to chase down, unless, of course, the opposite bowlers and fielders also  reciprocate in response with big scores with 4s and 6s.  All 100 plus and 50 plus etc are obviosuly the  result of faulty or bogus bolwing and fielding.

ICC is not bothered aobut how runs are made  but if any of those knaughty “undesirable elements” make merry by  taking a lot of wickets.

The big idea of ICC is to keep promoting  some batobys to amaze big run scores.

The officially number one test cricket team for the UK has been drowned in Dubai, shattering all future hopes of colonial cricket masters and their clients, like India. 



Of late, bowling has reinvented itself, crushing all best known batboys without compromises. Australia crushed India, while South Africa thrashed Sri Lanka and Pakistan just shattered all hopes of both England's team and Indian sport strategist who wanted to see Pakistan crushed by English boys in Dubai so that Indians could derive some extra sadistic pleasure forgetting their own poor fate in Australia. 



When bowlers strike, wickets fall like dam water streams. Bowlers can reduce the time for a match considerable if they are play seriously. 

Pakistan has slapped the all powerful UK, a junior part of USA-UK terror twins, right in their face in Dubai playing test cricket. Since England claims to be the top test team today while Pakistan is nowhere in the map and makes no claims, the Pakistani thrash is too harsh for the poor English boys to digest. England, which asks the UK state terrorists to consume the corpses of fallen Muslims in NATO occupied Islamic nations, thought it was too easy to defeat a weakened Pakistan now.



But the English boys are deadly mistaken. It seems, a new sense of discipline, has given the Pakistanis a chance to put their cricket house in order. Castigated for a lack of unity, consistency and awareness of the pitfalls in the game, some of Pakistan's most talented players went into oblivion.





This is the 2nd victory for Pakistan in Dubai. This is also the 3rd time that they have inflicted a 10-wicket win over England.





Since the spot-fixing scandal, conspired by Indo-UK to further weaken Pakistani cricket, Pakistan's decision to appoint Misbah-ul Haq as captain has proved inspired and the team has not looked back, beating the world's best team England by 10 wickets in the first Test on 18th January in Dubai, the adopted cricket home of Pakistan to play international cricket because of insistence of Indo-UK led ICC not to approve Pakistani stadiums for cricket. Misbah said he has tried to introduce the missing virtues of unity, discipline and focus into the team. Ajmal, who took a career-best 7-55 in the first innings, completed a 10-wicket match haul as Pakistan dismissed England for 160 before scoring the 15 runs needed for victory.





However, any other team would have won the match by one innings after such a turn of fortunes in their favor, but Pakistani team lacked both commitment and will or desire for that. They just wanted to win the match no matter whether with one innings or one run. Gul threw deliberate no-ball t spoil his LBW removing Swann but Swann had to return to play for more t runs to deny Pakistan a real chance for one innings win over the British “masters”.



Of course, an innings win is not that important. 



The win gave Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series. The second Test starts in Abu Dhabi from January 25 and which won’t be different from this one, but it could only be better if Pakistani boys played with a vision, inheriting the Australian drive against India. 



None is too indispensable in cricket. But for India some players like Tendulakar are indispensible for ever, even e when they keep standing at the crease without hitting single runs. Pacer Shoaib Akhtar has gone away because he has lost his way and talent, refusing to reinvent himself when run check – and not bogus wickets- is vital now. 





In fact Pakistani bowlers are not better than England’s. Nor the British batboys are worse than Pakistan’s. But the fact is rankings in cricket are bogus- both teams and individuals. British team is not the best but they were groomed by others, including India and Australia.



Pakistani team wanted to give credit for the win to its batboys and hence they did not want to win with an innings and waited for the batboys to bat again chasing down meager 15 runs with 10 wickets in tact quickly with UK help of fast 4s. 



Pakistani victory could be explained not by the prowess of its cricketers, but bad cricketers of London which claims the number one slot in test cricket, and controls the other small nations within what is known as UK, imposing its will on other English speaking peoples. Democracy is defined by UK in its own way. 








An Observation

Match fixing is common in cricket and teams do it on behalf of the nations or mediated by mafia. But Pakistan has been made a scapegoat because the NATO terror syndicate operating on Pakistani soil wanted to control the regime and military there by controlling cricketism and adding insult to injury. The Indo-UK spot-fixing scandal of 2010 destroyed the careers of three of Pakistan's most exciting talents in Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer. These players also refused to quit cricket in protest against ICC highhandedness and in favor of human dignity. Their disgrace is also disgrace of puppet Pakistani regime which did nothing to stop action against its cricketers. 




Yes, if there is one bowling attack that has the balance and the variety to win a game within 3 days in the flat tracks of UAE, it has to be Pakistan. Even faster than the Aussies! They have absolutely decimated the so-called number 1 Test side in the world, which looked pretty clueless. 



It should be noted here that cricketers are not just a foolish crop of mainly school drops outs seeking big honors from regime but they are closely knit network connected with mafias and other similar networks and they have been plying to boost the image of batboys. Bowlers are used just the "helpers". UK, South Africa, India and Africa and other teams played joint cricket exercises to pursue the common agendas and promotion of rankings. 



South Africa after "clinching" the ODI series 3-0 has let the SL win the fourth ODI apparently not to offend India by overtaking its ranking. SA also promotes India and others. 



South African cricketers- essentially of the while British origin, are also top frauds, playing joint exercises for years now.. SA won the ODI-3 and sealed the series. It appeared, in order to prove that their team can win without big batboys, South Africa has asked world No.1 batsman Hashim Amla to rest and he has pulled out of the series owing to “family responsibilities" and veteran Jacques Kallis has been rested for the 2 remainder of the series. 





But it is obvious that SA has done it only to keep a joint cricket exerciser Indians in good humor, without disturbing the bogus team ranking where SA is just one point below India. Hence SA deliberately lost to SL by playing for mutual appeasements; 100 plus for both wicket keepers in final 5th ODI. 



Obviously, all those who played the "exchange programs” for 100 plus now look extremely tired and too slow in the field, especially the Indians. They still keep idolizing their "greats", not sure that the old practices are dying away faster than expected and credible bowling is looking to the future.



There is a need to constantly updating the team with new bowlers and batboys with better training.The fake threat that strong bowling units could destroy all batboys is not entirely unfounded. Batboys should also improve their real performance against reckless bowling and genuine fielding. 



Pakistan still has to re-think about their bowling options, by removing those who do restrict run flow, because England would certainly make necessary amendments to face the "threat". England would also get generous “tips" from others like India. 



But the puncture inflicted upon England by Pakistan in Dubai is so deep and so huge that the English boys would have to suffer now without ready-made remedies while all pleasures of joint cricketism with Indian team last year end in favor of the Indian hosts and celebration of Diwali festivities not long ago in India have just melted away in Mideast....

ICC must ensure realist cricket  by encouraging the bowlers  and fielders to do their  job genuinely and realize their folly in promoting select batboys and teams like India or England. 

Cricket must be constantly evolving with new techniques, and always. 

Bowlers who offer too many runs and the fielders who midfield  or mishit the stumps should be penalized.
