I’d really like to know why in short form cricket and in particular T20, is the yorker not perfected and used more by bowlers, as it is widely acknowledged as the most effective delivery in the game?

I agree Steve. The yorker is a very effective and essential tool in any fast bowlers skill set. I feel that sometimes teams can over-analyse a batsman or situation and forget to use the simplest option which us the yorker. Variation in pace seems to be the first variation most use. Execution of any strategy is always the key and perhaps some bowlers are not confident they can execute ?

Hello Guys. I also agree with Ben. A yorker bowled at good pace and line cannot be hit for a six and in my opinion is the best dot ball option in a fast bowlers armory in conjunction with a bouncer and off pace delivery in all forms of the game. At best a quality batsmen can squirt a yorker fine behind on both sides of the wicket. I'm guessing that most bowlers these days aren't being told or taught about the value of the yorker.
