Yeah, I guess that's why I'm not a cricket analyst! It is something I enjoy about the sport though, it only takes a few well placed wickets to completely change the direction of a game.
As they say, "it only requires 11 good balls to finish your opponent in cricket."
People say Cricket is now a batsmen game but I believe it's the bowlers who really decide the fate of a team.
Very true! I would tend to agree on the importance of bowlers as well, even in the more batsman focused formats.
Over the years, even I. T20 leagues, I've seen most of the times a team that's more lethal with their bowling attack went on to win the title than a team that's been a batting powerhouse.
You can take for example RCB which always had a powerful batting but never won the title. On the other hand there's Perth Scorchers in Big Bash who keeps on surprising everyone by defending lower than the lowest targets and won Big Bash more than others because of their bowling.
There's definitely something to that. Some of the totals I've seen defended are very impressive! It makes for a pretty exciting game.
Yes, you missed a sure Jumbo there. Even I picked India for the same reason.
The warm up matches are played for only warmup and Australia had their low profile eleven there.
