Tim Southee, the New Zealand paceman, emphasized the shifting landscape of Twenty20 cricket, particularly evident in the high-scoring matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL) this season.
With records continually being broken, bowlers are facing a challenge to adapt to the evolving game.
Southee expressed the need for bowlers to adjust to the changing dynamics, emphasizing the importance of keeping pace with the times to remain competitive.
While acknowledging the excitement the high scores bring to the spectacle of the game, Southee also hinted at the desire for a better balance between bat and ball.
As New Zealand prepares for the upcoming T20 World Cup, they rely on their traditional strength in pace bowling, complemented by a blend of experience and new talent.
Meanwhile, Australia, recognizing the challenges posed to bowlers in the current cricketing landscape, have included a balanced squad with both pace and spin options.
Despite the daunting prospect of bowling in high-scoring environments like the IPL, players like Mitchell Marsh acknowledge the evolving nature of the game and are prepared to adapt their strategies accordingly.
