Bond expects turnaround from Mumbai bowlers 4/9/2022 10:53:30 PM agencies NEW DELHI, Apr 9: Shane Bond expects a turnaround from Mumbai Indians bowlers soon, but for that he said the five-time champions will have to stick to their plans, starting with Saturday's IPL game against Royal Challengers Bangalore here. Winless so far in their first three games, the MI bowling coach said he is not too worried about their below-par effort with the ball. "It's a simple fix really. If we can stick to our plans and stick to the areas we want to bowl when the pressure is on, then I think you'll see a turnaround," Bond said. "As I said, I think we've seen that when we've executed our plans the way that we wanted to, we've been really successful. We saw it in the last game against Andre Russell," he said. "Venkatesh Iyer, we made him work really hard for a fifty and bowled really well to him. We've just had one player who's come out in each game and hit 30-plus off sort of 10-11 balls which has taken the game away from us. Bond said it was a mixed bag performance from MI bowlers in the first three games. "It's been a real mixed bag from us I suppose from a bowling unit. You look at the last game; the first ten overs were fantastic. We had a couple of overs that got away from us. "It's been a little bit of a pattern for us, that we've done some really good stuff, we've taken out a number of the big players exactly how we thought we would - but when the game's been in the balance, we've gone for some overs of 20-plus. And when you go for overs of 20-plus, then you end up losing matches," explained the former Kiwi speedster. Bond reiterated that it was all about execution. "So the message really from me is to go back to what are we trying to do against a certain type of player? If we execute those plans, then we make it as hard as we possibly can.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
