It's not just you. But he isn't doing it every ball. Good to see IMO - gives him some occassional angle so the ball isn't so gun-barrell straight.
He is doing it quite often. Presumably it is designed to make him harder to get away though.

He bowled quite close to the stumps last year when he was bowling well though. Hope it's merely an attempt at variation and not a wholly defensive measure.

Yeah, he seems to be doing it a lot more in this match than he has done before... pretty much every ball for the past two overs. It's been part of his armory for a while though.

BARNES OUT
Dire appeal from Watson, I guess maybe Taylor's movement towards leg after the shot may have conned him a little. Was a good over though. Nothing to get after.

With the likes of McCullum still to come I wouldn't say the game is slipping away from us just yet...to be honest I'd quite like to see Fulton get out though.

Nice to see White get an over or two on a wicket which is actually turning a fraction.

Then he goes and bowls a mid-pitch long hop.
