“They just think about it of bowling a bouncer was like building castles in the air”- Jhulan Goswami opens up about her early performing days.
Jhulan Goswami just opened up about her initial performing days and showed why she was prompted to avoid bowling bouncers. Goswami explained that she aimed to keep a bowling economy of around three. Accordingly, she avoided bowling bouncers since they could lead to extras or boundaries if not performed perfectly.
In a recent interview with The Cricket Monthly, the 39-year-old pacer said:
“I never developed it like I did some of my other deliveries because playing on Indian wickets in the early 2000s, the very thought of bowling a bouncer was like building castles in the air. My target used to be to keep my economy under three, three, and a half, so if I bowled a bouncer and if it was not good, chances were it could go for wides or I’d be hit for a boundary.”
Jhulan Goswami equals with Lynn Fullston for most wickets in ICC Women's ODI World Cup history – Legend.
