In this day and age of indoor nets and bowling machines, why do players still have issues with the short ball?

This is a bit of a retorical question, but they clearly just don't work hard enough at it when they are developing. When I was at school (this isn't going to be a rant I promise!) we all used to line up in full kit and have tennis balls thrown at us so we would learn to duck and watch the ball, then bounced at us so we learned to get behind the ball, then we were given a going over with the bowling machine.
That was at an average cricket school 15 years ago... do people not get this kind of practice any more??
I'd guess too much cricket, ODI's and T20 events all year round leaves less time to work to technical issues in domestic cricket.

Normally if you play for Mumbai, Delhi, Punjab you get a lot more changes to play for the national side.

Never say never though Dave, Gambhir was set to quit cricket before India finally recalled him, so Deehraj may still have a chance.

I think too much partying after matches (as they are required to do after the IPL) and not enough Robin Smith style net practices... (6am after a massive night out, with the bowling machine on 90mph on a table to get more bounce...)

Back on Topic. Finn is a class act and a real talent.
PAK are 2 down.

Should have been 3! Morgan's dropped a fairly standard chance, went hard but still should have taken it...

it's funny what difference one very good batsman makes to a side. Yousuf has really added some steel to the batting and the rest don't seem to be as nervous.

shame Younis isn't playing.

Younis was terrible for Surrey this year - I think the Pak's don't need him. MoYo is giving a demonstration of batting your way into form, buy gaining time at the crease without taking risks and letting the guys at the other end play their shots.

Younis is a excellent player, before this tour MoYo hadn't batted in nearly 6 months, Younis is in the same class.

not sure I said that MoYo was better than YoKa(!), but just implied that the Pak team don't need 2 old blokes (and said that YoKa was terrible this summer which is true.) - so one is fine and MoYo is doing well.
can any of you do a statsguru thing comparing them... I need to do some work and I would be interested to see the comprises.

Buzz, Younis is 32, that's not old. MoYo is 36 in 8 days!

MoYo averages more but Younis is very good at 3.
