Could you ellaborate how exactly the 18-yard technique will backfire?
I think bowlers might feel like they are not bowling as quick when the bowl in the match and the fuller length delivery may be a problem for them to excute. But i doubt they did that all throughout the camp. Siddons isn't stupid he's aware of that. It was so to give the batters some practice. I also quite like the slip catches using bowling machine against a slanted table to allow slip catching practices. He was one of the best slippers around in Australian and by extension in the world. I quite like the innovative drills. More prep, better situation prep before games is a must. Expect results now.
