RULES THAT CREATED IMBALANCE BETWEEN BAT N BALL

                                Cricket is a game which involves a lot of calculations, manipulations, emotions, sentiments, arguments. It is a second religion to all who follow it with SACHIN being the prime god. But, have you ever thought of who the priests are? and what exactly the association of priests in cricket known as? Yes, you  have read it rite priests do exist in the religion of cricket and there is an association for priests. The association is known as Marylebone Cricket Club (M.C.C) and it's members are none other than the priests. They are the one who got the rights to create rules in the game of cricket. Now a days these guys are partial to the batsmen which are evident from the rules that they have made.

                  A NEW BALL FROM EACH END

                              In modern era the final 5 overs of an innings are giving runs at a rate of 12+, thanks to this rule of new ball from each end with which a bowler cannot reverse swing the art invented to restrict flow of runs in death, not able to spin in middle overs as the ball hasn't lost it's luster. The only good reason beside this rule is a bowler can keep the ball which is less damaged in his memory if he has achieved some thing with it. Which do happen once in a blue moon.

   MIN OF 5 FIELDERS INSIDE DURING THE NON PP

                            Can any captain bring an ideal field set during the non power plays without restricting the ideas of the bowlers. Hell no might the answer. 4 defenders can't even defend a goal in a foot ball game how come you expect  4 fielders to block the entire boundary ropes in cricket. Mistime a pull and u will end up with a boundary if it has taken the top  edge and fly towards the third man as u rarely find a deep third man.

         FREE HIT AFTER BOWLING A LEG NOBALL

                          
                          A bowler will feel guilty of bowling a no ball and he finds pepper on the wound by looking at the umpire signalling a free hit. Bowler bowling a no ball adds extra run to score card and a free hit of the very next ball which can be trashed any way with the batsmen's will. Is there any negative point if the batsmen has edged a delivery or is the batsmen given out for edging a ball.Why always does a bowler need to suffer.

            





  
                         

IS INDIA FINDING IT TOUGH TO FACE QUALITY SPIN??? REASONS EXPLAINED

                                       
                            1991 is the year when i was on to this earth. Started watching cricket at the age of 10. Those were the days when i not even knew what a googly means, what exactly is doosra, forget about the variations i didn't even  knew the difference between leg n off spin. All that i knew was when ever an Indian batsman is facing a bowler who takes a few steps to deliver a ball (spinner) it is not going to yield him a wicket. That is the confidence I had after watching many matches were a spinner finds it very difficult to pick a wicket against India. But now, time have changed a lot were Indians are not even able to face a part time spinner. There may be many reasons(quality of spinners in our country, T20, no turning tracks in domestic games etc) here are my picks which lead to down fall of Indian batsmen against spin.

                        Lack of quality spinners in the side, back in those days there were spinners in the Indian outfits who have dominated the game with there show. There was  lot of competition among themselves to fill the spin quota which was best among the best where as now a days the competition was best among the worst. If there aren't any quality spinners in your country you will have to play against second grade spinners in domestic competitions, which will make you the best against second grade but worst against first grade

                             Though there are some premier spinners in the ranks they will never turn up to ranji trophy citing there own personal reasons or international schedule. they do play ranji matches only to find a place in the international squad. As a result the upcoming batsmen don't get chance to face a good spinner and they will be on the lower end compared to their seniors

                      Laying green tracks during domestic competitions and a crumbling wicket during international fixtures will not aid the batsmen. As they haven't played a spinner on a turner in domestic series all of a sudden facing an international standard spinner in the international cricket. Different countries do have different types of wickets which will be the same for the domestic and international matches. where as India is the only country to have different tracks for domestic and international
      
                            Taking the things for granted by boasting of their past records. A lot of pressure will be created by the pacers and suddenly in comes a part time spinner whom Indians would like to take for granted as they are traditionally good against them and try to milk out as many runs as possible and ends up giving wicket to him. Then other batsmen feel cautious about the so called part timer who turned out to be a hero. That ends up handing him a fifer
             
                       To over come all these challenges there should be turning tops in domestic competition and all the premier spinners to take part in domestic matches
