Discovery of new human kind of species in China

India has selected two spinners for the World Test Championship final in Southampton, which is expected to be rainy. With periodic showers expected throughout the match, batting veteran Sachin Tendulkar speaks to The Indian Express about the techniques and skills required to deal with the constantly shifting overhead circumstances.
In England, I've seen that overhead circumstances must be respected. The pitch condition in India or the subcontinent is always changing. The pitch begins to deteriorate as the game progresses, and the ball begins to turn. When there is cloud cover in England, the surroundings shift and something begins to happen off the surface.
It's perfectly acceptable if the surface requires it. Both spinners (Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja) can bat and have previously formed good partnerships. Playing two spinners isn't out of the question. Having said that, I am thousands of kilometers away in India. Rain is expected over the next four to five days. The type of surface they are playing on is determined by the amount of dampness on the surface, as well as whether seamers or spinners will be more effective. Only the English players will be aware of this. The three-two (three seamers, two spinners) combination has a good case on a regular pitch, like Old Trafford, where one can be sure that it will help spinners.
I've seen something over the years that no one else has mentioned. People usually complain that spinners don't get enough help from the pitch or that there isn't much purchase off the surface. However, I believe that spinners can do a lot in the air if the ball is well-kept – if one side is shiny, it can be used to get the drift. When bowling, an off-spinner can either take the ball away from the right-hander in the air or modify the location of the shiny side to try to cause the ball to drift into the batsman — that is, towards the middle and leg-stump line. You don't always have to deceive someone off the field by increasing turn or bounce; you may also deceive them in the air. This is what a good spinner will consider. It's not always about the batsman being dismissed because the ball turns, takes the inside edge, and goes to short leg. The batsman can potentially be caught behind or in the slips if the ball drifts away in the air. There are many such dismissals, and a skilled spinner can always pull one-off.
There are times when the sky is cloudy and the wind blows. Spinners can benefit from these conditions as well. If the wind is blowing from off to leg (for a right-handed batsman), we can bring in a left-arm spinner from the opposite end to bowl or LBW a right-hander.
We can even get an outswing pacer from the other end (drift will be leg to off) or even an off-spinner who can get the ball to drift away from the right-hander. If a left-handed batsman is batting at this end, the off-spinner can come around the wicket and get the ball to drift in the air (into the batsman and away) in order to beat him. All of these factors play a role. The wind and atmosphere are significant because they have an impact on the surface.
The time is difficult when there is cloud cover but no rain since the ball does not get wet. The outfield is still wet after the rain when they want to start the game. As long as the middle square is dry, the umpires and players are happy to play. It's good as long as the ball stays inside the 30-yard circle because the ground is mainly dry. There is a challenge for the fielding side when the ball travels to deep square-leg, third man, fine leg, and deep point. When the ball starts to get wet, it stops moving. It may be a small amount of seam movement, but the swing will come to a halt. After the rain, batsmen strive to do just that. You attempt to get the ball outside the 30-yard circle. Swing is caused by the unbalance of the ball. That is why teams aim to keep one side dry while the other is sparkling. The moisture is absorbed by the leather as soon as players touch the dry side with their palm. The imbalance will be eliminated once this occurs. When there is dew in ODI matches, the first few overs are crucial. Bowlers will get the ball to swing early since the swing ends after 8-10 overs when the ball begins to go outside the 30-yard circle.
