Having waited since the morning to see a fall of a WI wicket, over the course of the day, I realized the tremendously difficult task it is for our bowlers to get a test wicket and hence I would like to dedicate this thread for our bowlers so that we can channel some fresh ideas that would lead them towards wicket taking success
1. Synchronized grunting method: It is obvious that Shahadat's chief weapon has always been his grunt to unsettle the batsman and now that everyone is used to it, the fielders must assist him in enhancing the grunt attack. As he runs up to bowl, all the fielders could grunt in unison with him in order to amplify the effect and truly unsettle the batsman during every delivery thereby resulting his downfall
2. Hire Afridi to do on field commentary: As we all know afridi likes playing jumping jacks on the middle of the pitch during innings break so perhaps he could assist us in that regard during on field commentary and pitch report so that we get more purchase from the wicket
3. Covert Stumping: we could look for stumping/run out opportunities during century celebration or over breaks
4. Silly point suffocation: we could surround the new batsman with 8 silly point fielders in the hope that one or two might be claustrophobic
5. Global Warming: perhaps it's time for more carbon emissions and make the climate even warmer and unbearable for batters so that they give away their wicket in the extreme heat
Scout (using foreign scouts) and naturalize like there is no tomorrow.

Ok seriously? The 5 star hotels should serve the visiting team street food in a disguise. Then the opposition batsmen would totally crap their pants while facing our bowlers!

further ideas are welcome
6. in-field "ye" bombardment: perhaps it is time for more "ye" emissions and make the air around batsmen so stinky that they would not wanna stay in crease for long time! Ingredients needed - boiled egg, cucumber and dholai khal'er chanachur.
I think we need to create distractions which will break their concentration.
Like for WI play the "Gangnam" song.
For Pak play any Bolly item song
For Ind bring some white chicks who will perform in some item songs aswell.
For SA scare them with some voodoo dolls
For Srilanka , complete silence in the stadium.
etc.
etc

Lets " Shamim" have a 5 minutes conversation with opposite team player right before the game starts..
Finally, Bangla cinema treatment.. Bring our Super hero and let them bowl.. "S** Khan" and "U from Gana" will definately do the job..If not, their voice during each delivery.."yaaa dishuaaa" enough to confuse the hell out of the batsman concentration.
There should be a specialist farter in the team to get maximum wicket in test matches
his job will be to field in close off/on depending on the direction of wind. He can Sync with SRK grant and should have special menu...like Mula etc to make it strong enough to force the batsman to hold his breath...we can encourage all bowlers to grant for a better effect... If they cannot ball line and length, they should at least grant...
There is no other legal way to get wickets in test cricket ..... This is just a form of sledging...

Catches win matches - ingrain in their head by some Quantum Method type process.
One World - very happy to see you mate. Missed you a lot man.

All the above are great measures....if they don't work then go back to the basics and try fear tactics...inspiring tremendous fear in the heart of the bowlers just might do the trick....first try "beter bari" and then keep a placard behind the wickets that says--
"Ei session e wicket na paile Sohel bhai er rant er kholnayok hobi tui...Shei rant shadh shokale khoborer kagoje chobi shoho chapano hobe"
"Hey mister! Would you be so kind as to not attempt a stroke next ball? I would really like to get your wicket. It would be such an extraordinary honor. Besides, my entire existence, that of my family, indeed my nation, depends on it. Have mercy on us. Take pity. I am appealing to you most humbly, kind sir, to gift your wicket to me. It would be a most magnanimous gesture. I, my family, my teammates, the fans, indeed the whole nation, would be ever so grateful. We won't ever forget your sacrifice. We will sing songs about you for millennia. We will give you honorary citizenship. We will name streets, airports, hotels, lakes, hills, districts and divisions after you. Please, kind sir. Grant us this wish."
Which batsman could deny us this favour if asked nicely.
