much ado about 'strategy breaks'...

not only strategy breaks have given some extra moolah to ipl but it seems they have also armed bowlers with an extra helping hand...though unintentionally...

we all know how loaded cricket has become in the favor of batsmen…especially T20 where bowlers are perceived to be there to make up for numbers...or as feeder lines for hitting fours and sixes almost at will...

the boundaries are getting shorter...bowlers are being penalized heavily...like for bowling front foot no balls…the bats are not only getting meatier but double sided as well...batsman can switch hit anytime he wants to…what else they want in their favor...?

in a way these breaks have offered some sort of challenge to batsmen...now they will have to counter...how to keep the momentum going coming out of bit of cold...but alas...rather than accepting it as challenge they have already started complaining about it...

no wonder the most noise against ‘strategy breaks’ are coming from the (batting) teams those have suffered ‘momentum’...


no points for guessing my advice to these whining teams...

just shut up...go there and confront it...will you...?
