More expectation on bowlers shoulders?

[shravi]

Do you guys not feel that people expect more of a bowler than a batsman? Say if Dravid scores a duck. People don't say a lot because they know he has done so much. But say when a bowler has gone for plenty of runs in his 10 overs they criticize him so much. It is unbelivable!

Please post your opinions. You may agree or disagree (not that I am anyone to tell you what to do).

well to put it simply, a batsman has one chance, if he makes a mistaek he is out (unless he is very lucky)

but if a bowler makes a mistake, well its 7 runs (no ball + a 6) so if a bowler does bad, he has been bad more times than a batsman

When a batsmen messes up, he's gone away to the dressing room. When a bowler messes up, he still is out in the field, no doubt thinkins about the mistake over and over, which will mess up his bowling and fielding further.

I reckon more is expected of a batsman, a bowler can have a bad day and still come out next innings/games and bowl well whereas a batsman has a bad innings/game and he loses a lot more confidence in himself and his form drops.
