India's negative bowling

Re: India’s negative bowling

I think it is smart cricket in ODI where as in Test matched it is not . In test matches if you bowl outside the leg then you are only trying to do one thing that is you want to draw match and this is negative.
In onedayers, there is no option of draw. So bolwing negative can be a part of startegy where you want to contain the batsmen and subsequently win since you have big total to defend. It worked many time ,unfortunately for Indians it didnot work this time. Also what else bowlers have in subcontinent ODIs.It is so totally tilted in favour of batsmen that I hate it. Slowluy I am loosing intrest in ODI when it is played in these kinda condition. I said same thing when India won in Karachi and I am saying samething now when India lost.

Cominh to topic of legside blowling, let me tell you bowling outside the leg is an art in ODI when rules of WIDE is so strict.You will have to bring ball each and every time else it will be called Wide. Afridi tried it and he failed miserably.
