For those of you struggling to get amongst the wickets this season, you can now rest easy. Finally, after numerous international reports, surveys, testing, etc, we can now reveal the secret to taking wickets.
Yes, Shane Warne himself has now given us the answer. In a recent thinkpiece in the Murdoch press, this is what Shane had to say on the matter (referring to Monty Panesar):
"When a bowler stands at the top of his mark, there is a simple question that should be in his mind: how am I going to get the batsman out? It sounds obvious, but watching the first Test between England and South Africa at Lord's last week, it did not seem clear to me that Monty Panesar was thinking along those lines."
Case closed. Thanks Captain obvious. I really like it how Shane keeps it simple. All we need to do is think: how can I get the batsman out? As much as i'd like to do a straw poll of some description to fellow bowlers from the Wick, i suspect that very few of us actually think of how to get a batsman out. Time to engage the melon I say.
As a side note, i'd like to point out that i'm not surprised that Monty has been struggling to take wickets. From the look of the photo attached, it seems that "Mont" is more interested in making love to the outfield. This is disturbing behaviour, and certainly not something that Darren "the future" Pattinson would ever do.
Think about it.
