Ball 1 - Bowler bowls down the leg side, and the batsmen flicks it for 4
Ball 2 - Bowler tries to compensate and balls a juicy half volley wide outside offstump and batsman caresses it through covers for a 4
Ball 3 - Bowler tries to cut down on length and ends up pitching it short, and the batsman just goes on backfoot and hits it outside the park
Ball 4 - Bowler tries to compensate again and tries to bowl a perfect yorker, but instead it is a full toss and the batsman just hits it out of the park again.
Ball 5 - Bowler is out of options and just wants to get away with the over quickly so he could go back to third man and think abt his strategy, but instead balls a noball and has to bowl it again.
Ball 6 - Bowler wants to avoid the no ball and so tries to cut his pace and speed, and the ball is a simple one for the batsmen .. and he again hits it outside the park
The bowler is having a terrible over. Isnt it? Life could exactly be like that on many ocasions. Whatever be your good intentions, you just cant get it right !!!
What do you do in such a case? Well, as all great bowlers will tell you, just wait for the over to be finished and wait on the boundary for the next over ......
What do the commentators do in such a case??? They will say, just keep it simple and try to bowl within the stumps, keep it nice and straight .... But does it ever work????? The answer is NO .....
