India vs Sri Lanka: Hosts’ bowlers need a quick solution for their no-ball problems

Firstpost  

Maybe something as simple as having a man standing at the right spot in the nets could be the answer to the India team’s no-ball woes. The narrator Wesley Hall, one of West Indies’ greatest fast bowlers, who incidentally delivered that final ball, had this to say of those tense, nerve-wracking moments: “The skipper Sir Frank Worrel came up to me and said ‘I’m watching you.’ And I said, ‘I know.’ “He says, ‘And what is more, the umpire’s watching you too.’ “He added, ‘One ball to go and if you bowl a no-ball… you will never be able to land in Barbados again.’ “And I made my last lonesome trek back forty yards away from stumps. As I came in, gasping for air, pressing through for the last ball, my feet planted some three yards behind the crease, just in case we had a benevolent Australian umpire.’’ Indian skipper Virat Kohli need not read the riot act so emphatically to his bowlers but the spinners, particularly Ravindra Jadeja, must wonder at their singularly dismal training method that could not avoid no-balls. They subconsciously banked on the umpire and other visual cues like return-crease, bowler’s end stumps, stump-line crease, popping crease, etc to formulate subtle adjustments in making each stride marginally longer or shorter during each run-up. But in a match the physical presence of an umpire subconsciously altered the reference points and forced critical changes to a bowler’s run-up to the delivery stride, the researchers felt.
