ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Sithara007]

Jofra Archer is a right-arm fast bowler. And we know that fast bowlers are generally more prone to injury. Winning in cricket is unpredictable similarly injuries also happen suddenly. At the moment i think he is fully recovered his injury and now he can be regular in cricket. By using him only in T20 format, England team can get good output. He should be kept away from ODI and Test matches for few days ‍so that he can adopt early in all the formats in cricket.

Some of the fast bowlers are more prone to injury. In India we have Jasprit Bumrah and T Natarajan who get injured at least once every year. Dale Steyn, one of the best fast bowlers in the history of cricket had his career cut short as a result of injury. On the other hand, we have bowlers such as James Anderson and Peter Siddle, who almost never gets injured. It depends a lot on the bowling action. Archer and Bumrah should seriously consider changing their bowling action, to prevent further injuries. But then, they need to maintain the pace as well.

It is not that easy for a bowler to suddenly change his action. What they can do is reduce their pace and play less cricket than they are playing now. Muscle injuries are quite common with bowlers and that is why they have less career span than batters. I am still not certain whether Archer will be able to bowl in the same manner as he used to prior to his injury. Recently we had seen Shaheen Afridi struggling with his bowling after his come back from injury. If he recovers fully before the bilateral series he still would struggle in few matches and then might come to his original form.

That's a struggle of fast ballers they are prone to injury due to their pace and than they will be on long break that effects their cricketing career. Shaheen Shah Afridi recovered from a knee injury and In T20 world cup his injury got strained again and now he's again on rest. So cricket boards should revise policies for fast ballers and limit their overs so that they won't get hurt again and specially check their pace and style of balling.

No doubt about this all with this all is natural because we can't fight with these things, and we already lost too many bowlers just because of change of action or having serious issues like Ian Bishop he was one of the best bowler at the time being, but sadly due to back issue lost his career and same happen with another bowler Mohammad Zahid who was also one of the fastest bowler at the time of his early retirement due to back injury same happening right now with few more bowlers because they can do things which needed and have to leave game with immediate effect for his best health.

But in Australia, we have most advance and developed set up because they are helping their bowlers in early stages, so they can prevent these things and can enjoy their playing career also without problem, hopefully other countries will be also developed like them and help their bowlers in their early stages.

Pakistan unfortunately don't have any facilities for fast  ballers and their rehabilitation and training too. Many fast ballers have to early retire due to injuries ,shoaib Akhtar a well known fast ballers left cricket early due to health issues . Recently Shaheen Shah Afridi is currently going through injuries and  waiting for his comeback.

I believe that Mark Wood from England Is a player who has almost perfect bowling action.

His action is something that can cause the least amount of injuries for a fast bowler. Because if you analyze his run up you will see that his foot is always facing straight. And the distance between each of his steps are very similar.

So, I think if the bowlers who are more prone to injury can replicate that, they will get injured less. If we look at the Run up from Jofra Archer. We will see that he puts too much pressure on his shoulder. And if we look at Bumrah, we will see that his action is absolutely all over the place. So will easily understand why they are more injury prone.

But I also agree with @pakhitheboss that it is not easy for a bowler to suddenly change action and maintain the same success and speed. However, they have a choice to make. Either at least try a new action so that they get injured less or they continue with the same action and hope for the best

There is no doubt about fast bowling and its difficulties but if you are able to check then go ahead in Australia, England and South Africa they have very fewer things like this with mostly having on field issues not related to bowling action or body language this is happening mostly here in Pakistan, India and West Indies now we can add Sri Lanka because these countries having not latest technology and required facilities for their domestic system which help youths for their better future in bowling mostly of the bowlers recently are coming from Pakistan and Sri Lanka which are banned for bowling action or facing body problems as they are earning good amount they also need to be funded their system and invest for the security of the future as well which will help their players pool as well.

Yes you are right in your confess, that the bowler can not change its bowling style easily. And when he starts to change his bowling style, his bowling line efeects deeply.
It may take couple of moths. It depends on the practice.
If he is trying a lot to change its style so he can change ASAP.
But it is  difficult, we know, the whole life he is bowling with one style. So suddenly try for the style change it is really difficult.

Fast bowlers in general are injury prone. The solution to this is to have large pool of bowlers available at all times. Pakistan has a robust domestic system in place now and I don't understand why they can't keep a large pool of pacers available. One way to go forward is to conduct more A and U-23 tours, so that some of the fringe players may get experience of SENA conditions. Also, the PCB can encourage some of the pacers to play either county cricket in England, or Sheffield Shield cricket in Australia. Even the Plunket Shield in New Zealand is of high quality.

If Pakistan didn't have a good facilities for bowlers rehabilitation then they must used a strategy of using more then 10 bowlers in order to reduce burden from bowler, which will reduced the chances of injuries, Everyone know that due to playing too much matches they got tired and fatigue and as a result they face injury of shoulder, knee , and back like Shaheen and Haris.
if they divide games between them then they will easily done Thier job without any injury.

They have been playing consistently in recent times so it is natural to keep pressure on the bowlers. Due to overplay, nothing good can be expected from their bowling action. Currently, Pakistan is playing a Test match against New Zealand where they are trailing by 438 runs. Despite their good bowlers, Pakistan is not getting any benefit. And naturally, the risk of injury is getting high. Pakistan cricket should take a look of these issues.

Even most of the time we have too much talk about Pakistan and their sporting system which is currently crap because they have no good domestic setup with no structure and facilities most of the time we have ad hoc system which can't provide any positive development which help players for improving their skills and have good quality just check their history they lost too many quality bowlers due to this all as no one care about them and mostly as they are having any injury then finances are also not available for giving them proper treatment or rehabilitation.

This all is possible if they have professionals who bring all latest technology and other facilities for the improvement of the game and players which must know if you want to compete with top level teams just one test series and now their all top bowlers are injured and out of the game for long time which is surely the worst thing happening to them.

In some cases, it can also be psychological in nature. I have seen instances where players have changed their actions simply because they wanted to do so. That is exactly what they have done in the past and they have been successful at it. However, when it comes to him insisting on doing something, it is something that all players have a hard time doing. In a way, it's like they don't want to do it, but they have no choice other than to do it. As a result, that mentality makes it more difficult for them to accomplish their goals.

One main issue with Pakistani pacers is that they play a lot of franchise cricket compared to others. Look at the Indian, English and Australian pacers. They concentrate on one franchise league. But in addition to the PSL, a number of Pakistani bowlers participate in other leagues such as the CPL and the BBL. We can't blame them, as the salaries with PSL are not very high. Also, a large gap still exists between the domestic cricket players and national players and domestic players struggle when directly brought to the national team.

I deserve this is a big problem for Pakistani bowlers. When nothing good comes out from the national team, they try to play in their home franchise cricket. Even when there is relatively less revenue, they take on outside franchise based games. If Pakistan's PSL could have paid good amount then they could have backed away from such a deal. Here the board has to pay attention. When a player is in form he earns a lot but when his form ends he stops earning. As a result, the career of cricketers is about to end.

Pakistan has always been a country that produced a really good amount of fast bowlers. So, I wanna say one thing that they should always do is be careful about all the actions of the bowlers. Pakistan has a good amount of money for cricket allotted. They should not have these types of problems. But the thing is the situation in Pakistan is not as good as it seems from the outside. They have a lot of problems on the inside. Improving as a cricketing country, they started facing political problems. And now the personnel of the Pakistan Cricket Board has changed. So now it is hard to see how the new authority is going to do.

Bringing in the latest technology is not going to do anything if the cricket board is not interested in improvement at all.

There is no doubt Salary is big issue but sadly as we are already having how things change into PCB, so this is another issue with these changes they also change their policies which is also not positive thing for the players and their system if they are able to have same policy and bring all players under their command then surely they can manage in good way specially they also can bring two teams concept which is not popular in England, Australia and India.

They must bring few pools for the three formats and having bowlers in domestic set up as well which give them better results in test matches now after back to back three series, and we have all flat pitches which are surely not suitable for these youngsters, and they are not injured and out of the cricket, so hopefully they will change this concept as well, and we will have better cricket in near future.

Pakistan is naturally rich in fast bowlers, but they have few bowlers those able to complete their career respectfully because most of the time they have on and off the field issues which hurt them badly in every era specially now you can check we have only three bowlers those completed 300+ test wickets and South Africa which joined cricket again in 1992 now have nearly 5 and now two or three more are going on good run because they have strong system and giving good support and facilities to their bowling squad which is important.

In Pakistan things never been ideal for the game and players which is a big cause for many players are mostly settled in England, and few other countries for their better future even many are completely out of this game due to their financial issues because they are not able to have better income as well here in Pakistan.

This is strange. A number of players moved from Pakistan to other countries in the past and settled there. One example is that of Azhar Mahmood who got the British passport. Then we have Fawad Ahmed and Imran Tahir. But it is quite rare nowadays. Most of the Pakistani players are now based in that country itself. And if I am not wrong, the salaries have also increased by quite a bit. On top of that, the players are earning handsome amounts from the PSL and other franchise leagues such as the Abu Dhabi T10. The situation has completely changed in the last 5-6 years or so.

Pakistan is a country that has had a lot of issues for a long time. And a player in Pakistan is always under some certain mental pressure because of that as well. I am not saying that there are no other players who face such problems. If you look at Afghanistan which is a country always facing war, it is actually doing quite well in cricket. But in that sense, Pakistan should be doing a lot more.

Actually, it is a matter of internal problems in Pakistan. A number of factors, including the Pakistan cricket board and the politics of Pakistan, are impeding Pakistan's ability to improve in cricket. I agree with you that things in Pakistan have never been ideal. But that's the story of almost all cricket boards, right?
