Won't be the first time the hype around a de Kock will be premature

I hope people atleast admit now that QdK really wouldn't have helped all that much against india in 2015. Would've basically been a free wicket for Ashwin.
It's odd how there are several otherwise quality players today who play off spin so terribly. QdK, Rahane, Khawaja, just to name a few. I don't think it's been this prevalent before.

Thing is, I've seen him attack spin well when playing his best - inside out over the top, late cut and reverse sweep he is all very good at.
Definitely not confident at the moment for whatever reason.

I'd like to credit the rise of orthodox finger spin in world cricket to all the hate for orthodox finger spin on CW

please explain how DRS causes batsmen to nick off more than they used to.

It's not just about nicking off. In another era, they'd kick away most balls on the stumps much more. Nowadays you need to use your bat way more often with the fear of a DRS lbw.

Even Jeetan Patel made QDK look like a bunny at times last summer. Lyon will fancy his chances

Nah this definitely makes sense. Left handers used to be able to play for turn against off spinners more as long as they got a good stride on and had bat and pad together. The threat of getting beaten on the inside edge and being given lbw is greater so they have to cover that more, and it's created more nicks too.

This should be no shame for offies though. If anything it just shows they were getting screwed by umpires for decades, and probably still largely are at levels below international cricket.

Agent Faf almost did his job there.

Think it's helped SLAs even more than offies tbhThis should be no shame for offies though. If anything it just shows they were getting screwed by umpires for decades, and probably still largely are at levels below international cricket.

Yep, definitely. If you look at what I said here:
.. you can just sub in "right handers", and there are more of those.

Such a good spell from Shami. Hopefully his hamstring doesn't explode for once.
