There's too much emphasis on dot balls - Bishan Bedi
Bishan Bedi talks to Spin magazine’s George Dobell about his concerns over the modern game and reveals his optimism for its future.
"Bowling should come from the shoulder and involve the fingers and wrists, but too many of today’s bowlers use their elbow. There’s also too much emphasis on dot balls. It seems to be they are the holy grail for spinners and the urge to bowl wicket-taking balls is dying. But a wicket-taking ball is a dot ball automatically."
