Bowling Strategy (cricket) - Test Cricket

Test Cricket

In Test cricket, the overs are unlimited. As a consequence, a bowler's economy rate is lower than that of a One Day International match. For a bowler, getting wickets is the main task. The more wickets a bowler takes, the less a chance the batsmen can score a big total. The margin for error in bowling wide balls in Test matches is much higher, so the bowler need not be as accurate as in a One Day International match. He may also bowl 2 bouncers per batsman per over.

    The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth.

    All cries are thin and terse;

    Crawls from the dry grass.
