India cricket team player: Fanny de Villiers says Jaspreet Bumrah didn't make batsmen play too often

In the second innings, Bumrah seemed to be rushing through Dean Elgar's contempt.

The Wanderers Test was a perversion for Jaspreet Bumrah. Whether it was Melbourne or Kingston, the Oval or Trent Bridge, North Sound or Centurion, the leading screenwriter of many of India's recent overseas victories, he was relatively ineffective in the Wanderers in both innings. In the first match, he took the wicket of Keshav Maharaj; In the second match, he scored 70 wickets less in 17 overs.

The number may be misleading, but in this case, they completely capture its immorality. Seeing Dean Elgar's contempt in the second inning, he seemed to be rushing through his action, and he was deprived of his mache-like sharpness. Probably a factor as to why they're doing so poorly - and why they're doing so poorly.

Former South African fast bowler Fanny De Villiers commented that the South African batsmen had worked hard to blunt him by showing his mind, intent and application. "I don't think it's a question of his lack of ability or his poor bowling. I think South Africa has pulled him out. As he is India's most important bowler, there was a lot of discussion in the team on how to deal with Bumrah and how to survive. I think South Africa has learned a lesson from the first Test, "he told The Indian Express.

Sixty-seven Bumrah dropped the ball in the premium, with batsmen on both sides dropping more balls than any bowler. In general, the hosts' fast bowlers made the Indian batsmen play more often. However, two factors must be considered. First, Bumrah's natural way of standing right-handed batsmen is to soften them with away-movers before they get caught in a fast and fierce nip-backer. So he always bowls some distance from the stumps.

The Wanderers strip was more bouncy than the supersport, and decisively, the variable bounce was not pronounced. So the batsman could confidently leave him at length.

The Proteas fast bowlers, on the other hand, run at full length, forcing the batsmen to play more often and buying the edge. De Villiers agrees: “In South Africa, full distribution has always been more successful. A bowler with the ability to bowl both inswinger and outswinger will be more effective. That's why Vernon Philander enjoyed his best success at home, and especially at Newlands [the last Test venue], "he said. In this regard, Mohammad Siraj's breakdown hurt him a lot, as he was the most natural full-length plugger of the four.

Usually, the boomerang increases the size of the length needed to kill it quickly. At Wanderers, he didn't. How Bumrah responds to this shock, or rather distortion, will be an interesting subtext. It also has the potential to be the main storyline of the third Test, because when he takes a wicket, India is on the side of victory. This is not the first time he has endured a bad game, but he has almost inevitably turned it around. For example, he was knocked out in the World Test Championship, but made a strong comeback in the next match, taking nine wickets to set up the match at Trent Bridge. His game was bad in Adelaide, but his rage dragged on in Melbourne.
