Don't be too hard on Tomahawk. I believe he was trying his best.
He certainly was throwing the best he could, from what I saw. The
drying lanes caught all the heavy ball bowlers off (maybe except
Prataman, who is king on the day).
Afterall, nobody plays with the intention of losing, yah?
I feel what style one bowls is a matter of personal comfort. Just
like the advice to play the line or shot that makes you the most
comfortable or gives you the most confidence. Tomahawk must have
done what he felt was most natural to him in different
circumstances. It's just that different bowlers approach the game
in different ways.
Some like to play their way out of a slump with the previous shots,
while others try to change their game. If it works, they look like
geniuses, but if it doesn't they look like fools, right?
Everyone has off games. He had his yesterday. If he was on a good
day, he would have looked like a genius and this thread would be
hailing his bowling genius, no?
Let's just look forward to another week. A better week for
all.

Don't take it too seriously what he said about sandbagging. It is a
form of strategy, by not fighting over a lost cause and "planning
for the future". It's similar to tennis players not wasting energy
fighting from 1-5 down in the set, saving energy for the next set
instead.
