Only Bumrah bowls accurate yorkers in death overs, former Australian fast bowler makes a big claim

Talking about the importance of the yorker, Brett Lee said that Bumrah is currently one of the most complete bowlers in world cricket. Bumrah (Jasprit Bumrah) can bowl a wicket-taking delivery without giving away any runs. But the yorker is his main weapon, which he uses cleverly in the last overs. “As a general rule, apart from Bumrah we haven’t seen enough fast bowlers bowl yorkers lately. I would like to see fast bowlers bowl more yorkers. I still don’t think they bowl enough yorkers in the death overs,” Brett Lee said at the launch of the Legends Intercontinental T20 League recently. I am all for batsmen, but… The former fast bowler further said that, if you look at the 17 seasons of IPL, on average a yorker has a strike rate of less than 100. Which indicates that there is one run or less per ball. Now, when you bowl a yorker, the batsman can hit a shot through the scoop. This puts pressure on the bowler. Then you have to set the right field. Have to keep two people at the back, third man and fine leg and then bowl. He concluded by saying, I am all for the batsmen, but there should be something for the bowlers as well. I am not asking for a green top where teams get bowled out for 110 runs because that is not good for cricket either. I think you want a good score. A score of around 185 to 230 is a good score. We have seen scores of 265, 270, 277 now. These are really difficult because most bowlers concede 45 to 50 runs in a four-over spell.
