Dot balls pushing spin bowling into jeopardy, says Warne
Melbourne | Sunday, Oct 25 2009 IST
 

 

 

Shane Warne has urged spinners to focus on taking wickets rather that going hard for dot balls, which the Australian legendary bowler feels, has pushed the craft into jeopardy.

Warne also believes that there have been a threat to the art of spin bowling from coaches and captains, who mostly lack the understanding of the art, leaving the tweakers to understand their own fields.

''The mentality and attitude needs to change - from the captains and coaches. That's the biggest problem we've got, that they don't understand the game. So the spinners have to take more responsibility to understand their own fields,'' the 39-year-old said.

The spin wizard, who is in Adelaide for a poker tournament, said Australia is lacking in captaincy of spinners in domestic cricket, which will help them to set rights fields.

''From where I stand, and I'm obviously very passionate about spin bowling, I think one of the biggest thing that we're lacking in Australia at the moment is the captaincy of spinners at domestic level,'' Warne said.

''I'm trying to put something back into the game and have a role with Cricket Australia as an ambassador for the spin-bowling program. I go around to all the states and work with the captains and spinners about how to captain and set fields, encourage the spinners technically as well.

''We've got some really good spinners, but I think there's too much concern at the moment about being economical. They want to bowl 20 overs and get 1-50 - not go for any runs. I'd much rather see 4-100.

The emphasis seems to be restricting runs rather than being attacking,'' the former leg-spinner was quoted as saying by 'The Herald Sun'.
