    "editor1": "<p><strong>July 8 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> It was expected to be a batting carnival at the 2019 World Cup, especially after England and Pakistan almost walked their way to 300-plus totals in the last series before the showpiece event on English soil. However, in this edition of the World Cup, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has actually done a good job to keep the bowlers in the game and spice up the matches. India pacer Jasprit Bumrah believes that things are only going to get tougher from here on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The leader of the Indian bowling attack, Bumrah feels that the wickets have slowed down comparatively from how it played at the start of the tournament and run making wouldn&#39;t be easy. In fact, he has cited the game against Sri Lanka as well -- India&#39;s last group game -- and said that while it didn&#39;t slow up as much as was feared by the Indian think-tank, the pace did go down.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Some day some bowler can go for runs. You can give credit to the batsmen when they play well, but overall, wickets are getting slower,&quot; he confessed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bumrah though feels that the Indian attack is up for the challenge even on slower wickets. &quot;Everyone is taking a lot of responsibility and that is good because you are trying even harder. We are happy that everyone has done well and everyone is contributing -- Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya and even I have taken wickets. This is a positive sign. It is a healthy competition and one that you would want to have going into a crucial game like the semi-finals,&quot; he pointed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>ICC CEO Dave Richardson also said that it was a conscious effort to not let the batsmen run away with the games and let the bowlers have a go and balance things out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We have looked at bringing in balance with even wickets. It is not about preparing batting paradises. The weather also comes into the picture and a wicket with even bounce throughout the game is what we look at,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked if this sets a precedent for the future tournaments because the general notion has been that batsmen are ruling the roost in world cricket these days, especially in the shorter formats, Richardson said: &quot;Yes, the idea is to have balance. The overcast conditions in England also helps. It allows you that position.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
