“We feed into the simulator information about pitches and the 22 players who might play and it plays the game a number of times and tells us likely outcomes.” Leamon was quoted as saying in a British newspaper.
So England has thrown 261 balls to Tendulkar in the test series out of which 254 balls was pitched outside his off stump, six have been in the line of the stump and one beyond the leg stump. This has not only prevented Sachin from getting his “century in century” but also made him to score very less. Leamon who is called as “Numbers” by English players has fragmented the target area of the pitch into 20 blocks which is 100cm x 15cm using his software. This provided the England players better knowledge of where to pitch the ball against the particular opponent.
But this is not really an issue to the little master as he scored 90+ in his last test match of the series thereby busted the “Computer simulation”.
Gavasker as commented that England's discovery was not a “Rocket Science”. Since most of them know that Sourav Ganguly used to play on the off-side than on-side whereas Sachin's Bat has a round top grip this gives him natural advantage of playing on the onside
Gavasakar quoted “So it's no rocket science. I'm glad it took the world to discover Tendulkar's style after he has nearly 15,000 Test runs under his belt.”
