I am not aware, if there is an article, please show me to it.
1) Are you aware which grip Pathan has which prevents him from swinging it properly. As a left arm bowler myself, I am intrigued.
2) That is an interesting arguement. To lean back or not, that is the ethical question. On one level, weight is going back which negates the run up, but on another level, it helps you coil to create a better explosion. However, I agree with Wasim Akram that it is a way which Pathan loses pace. But be assured that he will lose some accuracy if he starts leaning back.
They should hire Wasim as a bowling consultant, he seems to really know his stuff.
Star Cricket showed it LIVE yesterday during the post tea session. Wasim spent some time with Pathan. Irfan was showing Akram on how he(Pathan) has learnt the inswings and outswings in recent times. He said that he will be spending some more time in today's(Day5) play too. I didn't see the match today though.
1) Its thumb's grip(that holds the ball) on ball. It seems, the thumb has to come acorss the ball but Pathan seem to be holding it in sides.
2) Even Waqar agreed on the fact that fast bowlers tend to get more pace as they(their body) lean backwards. Waqar and Wasim had a short discussion on our Indian bowling line up yesterday. It was interesting to hear as well.
And ya I always said, Prasad cannot be a good bowling coach to Team India. If Wasim/Waqar can spot these defects in few hours, then what was Prasad doing for these long days?
