Cricketer Of The Year
Don't get why there is such amazement surrounding McKay. Tight bowling and getting it to nip around will get wickets. Yeh his record is ridiculous, and it will no doubt catch up to him a bit at some point, but on the whole he has the basics mastered.
Literally just thinking this. Don't get the hate.

McKay doesn't nip the ball around. That ball that got Bopara was dead straight, Bopara just played it as if it was coming down the slope.

McKay does two things: He's mostly pretty accurate, and he has a decent slower ball at times. Other than that he's just cannon fodder when the batsmen want to take the ascendency.

The ball wasn't dead straight, it did just enough to take the edge. He also bowled several other deliveries in this innings which did a good deal more, and equally as much as anyone else on show today.
