Tigers ready to face WI after short ball ‘homework’

Yeasin Hasan, From Taunton: Short-of-good-length deliveries are main weapon of West Indies. Caribbean pacers are unique in this sector. So, Bangladesh players have followed a major homework to face such balls in the next match against West Indies in Taunton.

Bangladesh opener Tamim said, “If you look at the World Cup, the short ball has been a serious matter. The fast bowlers are taking a lot of wickets with bouncers. We know they are going to go really hard against us, but they can only bowl two bouncers an over so we can be ready for those things.”

Earlier, West Indies thrashed Pakistan in an easy mood. Caribbean pacers took seven wickets with short balls against Pakistan. They also picked five wickets against Australia with short balls. In the abandoned match against South Africa, both their wickets came courtesy short balls.

Bangladesh batsmen are little bit weak against short balls. On the other hand, balls of Shannon Gabriel, Kemar Roach and Jason Holder are terrible. Andre Russell Oshane Thomas joined the bowling squad. Although, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib and Tamim faced West Indies bowlers amazingly in last series in Ireland. There was no uneasiness against short balls.
