Moooo
Really insane batting here. 230 I think will be the score India finish on
I only have the Guardian's commentary to go by, but it sounds extraordinary.They have to start marking assists for catches on the scorecard
My original comment? Fair enough. I actually thought you were commenting on his last over as the catch hadn't been recorded in the Grauniad's commentary yet.Harsh tbh, he's not even bowled that badly here, his first over was some good slower ball bowling. Just one of those pitches, and Kohli getting after him.
Yeah it's pretty inflexible stuff. Was fairly apparent early on that Wood's one-paced nature wasn't the way to go. I don't understand why Jordan seems to have lost faith in his yorker, it's the reason he was such a useful death bowler for us in the past. Not sure what he's offering without it.England and Morgan as captain really need to have more faith in Curran. Dhoni figured out how to use him last season for csk, and he's a far more useful player then "share 4 overs with stokes and bat 7 every game." Wood and Jordan have been going at 13 an over and Curran can't get the ball. His slower cutters are perfect for this pitch.
Pandya is just lethal
Special talent
Yep. He does go 'against the grain' in what you'd normally associated with a power-hitter (big forearms, biceps, shoulders).He’s good with picking up length early...and fast hands and power from a strong core makes it so easy to hit the big shots.
