Seeing the condition of the tail batsmen, Dale Steyn’s suggestion: there should also be a ‘free hit’ in test cricket

Former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn has suggested the introduction of the free throw rule in test cricket, saying it will help tail batsmen avoid long overs in which bowlers do not throw balls.

It is worth noting that in limited overs cricket, if the pitcher throws a ball without a ball by foot mistake, the hitting team receives a free throw. Steyn suggested Wednesday that free throws should also be introduced in test cricket.

Steyn tweeted: “Free hit for a ball without a ball in test cricket … what do you think? Definitely made bowlers (hit) those seven, eight balls and sometimes even nine balls.” . It will be enough. for tail hitters to face six deliveries from a dangerous top-notch fast pitcher, “he added.

Steyn’s reaction came during the final test between India and South Africa. He also praised Indian pacemaker Jasprit Bumrah, who took five wickets for 42 races. Steyn said: “It will be interesting to discuss this. There is a serious test match here, where Bumrah pitched well with five wickets.”
