On ESPNCRIINFO’s match day, Southee said, “It was a rule that was brought around Kovid with a virus that goes around the world, but I think as a bowler, you want to take a little advantage.” “We see the game The way it is going and the sides are looking at 362 scores and more often does not exceed 300 in this format. I think something needs to happen in the favor of the bowlers, and whether it’s a little saliva, so yes, I don’t see why they can’t take back.”
“If we look at the position of that ball, I mean towards the back end, it was really disgusting, and I think you used saliva [to polish one side of the ball]The element of reverse swing may come to play, “Philander said.” So it definitely plays a role. You can get it to shine and you use the elements to swing it for a while.
“I am being brought back to the game, because I think it needs. I mean, especially in OD cricket where we see batsmen really dominating, especially when you play on surfaces as if we have seen in Pakistan and also it is really batsman friendly.”
Southee realized that the use of saliva to polish one side of the ball and inspire reverse swing makes even more difference in red ball cricket than white ball.
“I think the ball swings only for a few overs. [in white-ball cricket]But with a red ball, you are able to bring it back and clearly sweat can be limited several times in different parts of the world, while saliva you are clearly able to use it in many sources and all parts of the world, “he said” I think there is an advantage of saliva on the ball, perhaps more in red-ball cricket than white-ball cricket. ,
Are there any other advantages to use saliva to polish the ball instead of sweat?
“With the South African team, we were always trying to keep the ball as dry as possible,” Philander said. “The minute you start making mistakes on the edge of the sweat, I think you start wetting both sides of the ball. Your hands get wet with sweat, especially when you play in warm, humid conditions.
“Saliva was definitely the favorite method of shining the ball. In the long run in the plan of things, I would like to see that it is being brought back. As far as sweat is concerned, I think it is difficult to control the amount of sweat you put on the ball, it is difficult to control the amount of sweat you put on the ball, [especially when] You are clearly sweating heavy. ,
