It's not surprising that legspinners get a lot of wickets off half-trackers, for the ball often hits the bottom of the bat instead of the sweet spot.

In reply to doosra... what you saying ... who needs a googly when you have a long-hop?

Sounds like good variety to me.

I have been saying this for a while now...the long hop is a wicket taking ball for Bishoo
It is a surprise juicy delivery...like a fast bowler's slower ball
In reply to Narper... the thing is, he has the googly, just uses it very sparingly. Could even be the one that comes out as a long-hop.

a googly that even you can detect is no googly..
In reply to Khaga... what if it is disguised as a long hop, and takes wickets?

How many wickets did Carl Hooper take with his 'lollipops', as Geoff Boycott would call them?
Man, allyuh so wrong.
Bishoo don't bowl long hops...Bishoo bowls sugar-coated, luck-laced longer-hoppers. That is the equivalent of a deadly googly...he calls it the Bishoogly!
