Yorker a lethal weapon

The ball comes direct or near the feet of the batsman is called a yorker. Over the years the yorker has been the the most effective ball to get the batsman out. Very few batsman can successfully play out (dug out)that type of a delivery, which makes yorker a lethal weapon.

In the old days the great fast bowlers of the west indies used to bowl those deliveries very effectively.The duo of pakistan bowlers  Wasim akram and Waqar younis mastered the skill of bowling great yorkers, they got their ball to in swing very late and batsman felt very hard to pick those. In the recent time Lasith Malinga, Dale Styen , Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul , Brett Lee and Zaheer Khan are carrying forward the art of bowling a yorker .






In the matches of world cup 2011 we have seen many good yorkers bowl by the bowlers which got them the desired results.
The performance of Lasith Malinga against Kenya was just so superb, he was unplayable by the batsman and wickets fell like house of cards.
