How to bowl on Australian pitches (video)

By Will 2 years ago, at the end of August Leave a comment on this post

A lesson to England, Steve Harmison or indeed any fast bowler on Australia’s pitches. They’ve since changed, and aren’t quite as quick or bouncy, but length bowled here by Curtly Ambrose is just marrrrrvellous.

    The ball to Border was sensational. The sort of first ball that a batsman receives in his nightmares….

    Yeah - and you can just about hear Border wince, or gasp, as he edges it.

    Border probably looks back with some pride that he was good enough to nick it. :-)

    The chances of Harmy hiting the length required are poor to none.I forsee lots of short balls being smacked square of the wicket.

    An attack with Ambrose, Walsh and Bishop would have made the Australians wish the WACA pitch would lose its pace and bounce just for a day or two!!
