Ferguson agreed that batters are planning well to combat the yorker and block hole deliveries at the death overs, and hence, the wide yorkers have come into the picture. They have been used to good effect to stop the run-flow.
“The batters are setting up for yorkers now and when they are practising in nets and on bowling machines, I find them to be so good at hitting low full-tosses and that’s pretty awesome part of the game that if a bowler misses a fine margin, he is hit for six.”
“Fast bowlers have had to adapt and in IPL in last two seasons, fast bowlers have done a great job on slightly bigger UAE grounds (Dubai and Abu Dhabi). Grounds this year are decent sizes and, yeah, I think, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of a delivery.

“Yes wide yorker is an effective delivery but you are also toying with the wide line. Depends how it’s coming out on the day and depends how the batters are going about it.”
