Whatever it takes!!!
Swepson does look nervous though. IN between all his half trackers and full bungers, every time he has actually hit the spinners' length, he has asked questions.


Also, good to see Key and Katch in full kurtas in that heat, while Waqar has just showed up with a golf t shirt and shorts.

KFC Scholarships? Why aren't these mooks blasting sixes every over at that bucket. Selfish gits.

Imagine getting your scholarship because Alex Carey top edged a six into that bucket.

Better last over from Swepson. Hopefully settled a few nerves, he's in for a long stint after lunch you'd reckon.

Goes without saying that Warne had a massive influence upon cricket but one area where I believe that it’s been a bit questionable is in the runups of bowlers like Swepson

Warne was not only a physical freak with massively strong shoulders & fingers but he also had just about a technically perfect action

He didn’t need to get much out of his runup

Swepson has neither of those attributes so arguably does

Babar plays a long way from his body doesn't he?

He has the hand-eye right now to make it work but yeah, longer term could catch up to him.

On another note, I mentioned elsewhere that I feel Babar is the truest throwback to the 90s of batting when it looked like Sachin or Lara could literally play a shot to any ball and actually be in position to play it irrespective of the pace, bounce, movement or turn on the ball. I know the fab 4 have accomplished more, esp. Smith, but Babar seems the closest to the "great" batsmen at least from an eye test perspective.
