Bowling tips ( other than outswinging yorkers)

[ahmed]

I just finished playing my 2nd test match got pakistan all out for 87. without using outswinging yorkers. most of my wickets were caught at cover and gully . so far the only way i can get wickets r by changing the pace of the ball and having them play away from the body + getting them LBW ( By the spinners ). i dont like using too many yorkers as it makes the game very un-realistic. it takes me ages to bowl them all. atleast 55 overs or so. with a very defensive field setting. anyway i was wonderring if u guys have any tips on how to get them out.
Thanks

do outswingers wif fast bowlers actually work?

Fast bowlers cant bowl outswingers. only swing bowlers can. Batsman usually edge it to the slip fielder. and it works pretty well against a new batsman. i have taken plenty of hatricks thanks to outswinging yorkers ( gotta be on the middle and off, if its on the offstump then they will simply leave it ) . also varying the line + speed works well. specially the speed . off spinners against left hand batsman work well too. i can usually get them lbw after some overs ( sometimes 5-6 overs ). works well in test matches. pitch the ball on the middle and off, keep spinning it away from them so they will keep leaving it. keep changing the pace of the ball. and then bowl an arm ball . chances r that the batsman will shoulder arms and get out lbw . This works against right hand batsman as well . but u will need a leg spinner or a left arm off spinner. Fast bowlers, well pack the area from mid off to mid on. dont bowl short or give any width ( dont bowl yorkers, atleast not yet ). slow down the pace ( 115km'h ) and have the batsman drive towards mid of or mid on. do this for a couple of overs and send down a fast yorker. Usually works. but sometimes the batsman r smart

Oh BTW I ONLY DO THESE IN TEST MATCHES. and i just increased the power on perfectly timed shots so having them drive all the time isnt a good idea...lol anyway... those r some of the things that i do... wanna learn no trickssssss so come on guys.. postttttttttt ur comments

Not getting at you or anything, but questions about the Cricket 2002 game really should go in the other forum! This ones for general cricket discussion
