Ways and means or Mean ways?
View(s):Test cricket is boring enough, without delaying tactics and other unsportsmanlike acts. Having batted most of the day, and hoping to be there the following morning, ensure less bowling time, by calling for fresh gloves, even if there are two overs remaining!
The bowlers use other tactics. Generally, right arm bowlers, bowl over the wicket, to right handed batsmen. A better ploy, is to bowl round the wicket and pack the leg side with fielders. No restrictions, as in the shortened form of the game! Just as the ICC dealt successfully with wides and no balls, some sort of ruling is required to continue to call cricket the gentleman’s game.
