Yeah. I spent long enough when I arrived with Rubel trying to bowl death yorkers and reverse swing. He delivered spectacularly against NZ.
Bowling yorkers is a great skill. In the IPL we saw Delhi Daredevils losing the plot and getting smoked on their last two matches because they couldn't bowl yorkers.
There is nothing better than yorkers at the end of an innings, because you can set your field accordingly. If you drop the ball short, you need a 360 degree field because the ball could go in any direction.
But you HAVE to drill it in to bowlers and they have to feel confident bowling them. It's all about what you do in training and how often.

Talk about timing, watching the news before hitting the sack last night, and who do I see on the telly? Shariar Nafees.
Topic of conversation: fitness and practice

I wanted to throw my remote at the f-ing tv. This is a seasoned pro talking about not being motivated enough to work on his game on his own time. How can we expect the youngsters to do better when we have people like Nafees setting this sort of an example
Its amazes me how some of us think mash was never a worldclass bowler and how just one bad performance suddenly can make a proven performer to bad one... Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Opera Mobile)
Mash is alright. Ofcourse he is not the same fierce bowler he was before injury, but he still can deliver better than most pacers we have. The last match was one of his bad days, nothing more than that. He'll come back in the next game.
I really thought it was baseless to play Abul so soon. I dont know what kind of superb performance he did in domestics and BPL that he is getting a nod ahead of nazmul who was so very brilliant in Asia Cup??
I saw him bowl once in BPL, and he bowled 3 no-balls in a single over. The only bowlers in BD that bowl well at death are nazmul, shafiul and rubel, among whom shafiul is looks poor up front but I really think Rubel and Nazmul shud be our core.
I dont think with the pace, line and length Mashrafee bowls, he is knowhere near World Class anymore. If you dont have pace, you can beat them with line and length, look for kulasakera for example. And Mash here bowls an absolute rubbish line and length esp. during the death. He bowls about 3-4 length ball in the death which is def. RUBBISH. He really needs to get the yorker in, its really an eyesore when a bowler with 10 years of intl cricket exposure cant even bowl a single yorker.
I'm surprised to see Mashrafe lost a bit of swing he used to get with the new ball. In last match when he tried to swing, twice the ball gone over the line and called wide. I hope Mash gets his swing back because as he lost a bit of pace, without swing it'll be really difficult to be economical and take wickets importantly

Well now we know the reason he's underachieved in international cricket don't we? That type of attitude will get you nowhere. Hopefully our younger guys will have a much better attitude and not get big head after just a few 50's

listen, Nafees & Ash r most fitness conscious players.I read somewhere Nafees has a personal trainer also.So what abt others if Nafees is like that?
I think Nafees is being a bad example here, but one way or the another he is right about what he says. He is probably not getting the best facilities becauses we dont have quality coaches or trainers to turn to during times when they arent playing for the national team. That could be a good reason why some of the players just whither away due to lack of fitness, once discarded from national team, e.g. Aftab
But nafees should work hard no matter what. Hopefully, once the academy is properly prepared, the players who dont have much to do should come over and practice

Mash still has it in him. But in Harare, in order to be effective, you need more pace and bounce... both he lacks. But he is great in Sub Continent conditions and if he can avoid injury, he will work up his pace to bowl good in other conditions.

coach, who is our best death over bowler???? and have you ever seen Robiul Islam in action????
Hopefully we will see some blockhole bowling today and toe crushers mixed with occassional crafty bouncers and not just short pitch deliveries like last match. Not quite sure about the gameplan, we will have to wait and see. But Abul has got disguised slower delivery which needs more nourishing before he can hit consistent line with that slower one. Last two matches, our bowlers didn't even try blockhole bowling.

I think Mash really needs to get his pace up. If bowl below 135 in pace conditions you are asking for trouble.
And Mash's death bowling is as horrible as it gets, last match he didnt fail big time because he was lucky esp. after the countless number of length bowl he bowled today.
He can try to be like kulasakera but kulasakera is brilliant when it comes to bowling line and length and it the death he can bowl some brilliant yorkers.
