Cricketism: Should  the team bowling second tale all 10 wickets? 

This question perhaps haunts all cricket  watchers who think the  team bowling second can easily win the match  by denying runs to the  batboys without focusing on wickets because trying hard for wickets  helps the batboys to  hit  6s and 4s.

Cricketers avoid dotballs to enable the greedy batboys to score nicely and fool the public, cheat the regimes. .

Till today, no team  has won a match by  not taking a single wicket.

Why should bowling team take wickets to win?

Bowlers should be asked to bowl dotballs constantly- wickets or no wickets. Bowlers can be serious too. When they give a no-ball, how careful not  to allow any runs for the next next ball. That should be the attitude throughout!

If there  is no written rule  that the team bowling second must  take all 10 wickets to win, whey the hell the bowlers harp on wickets? Only to  offer too many runs to select batboys, or after taking all  5-6 batboys wickets, offer  extra runs to bowlers?

That is the  funny trick of cricketism.
