Vicious 122 km/h short ball.
Yeah I noticed that too. Gonna be a long tour for him if he's tiring after 1 day.Speaking of slow, Khurram started off low 130s yesterday, but his second new ball spell and his spells today were both high 120s. His control deteriorated today as well. Makes me think he isn't particularly fit.
The two might not be unrelated and I think they’re both right. He looked like he wasn’t gathering in his delivery stride quite as upright as usual and it was causing him to slightly fall away and push the ball into the pads.I thought his main problem in the Ashes was his line tbh. When he stopped bowling on the pads so much, especially to Crawley, he still looked plenty dangerous, but his stock line seemed to drift onto middle and off stump all too often.
27 in the innings, 21 yesterday I think. But pretty ridiculous that a part time spinner bowled 21 overs on the first day with a four man pace attack (albeit Faheem barely counts) on a wicket with some life in it. And they fell well short of the overs too.They'll have to watch Salman's workload too, he bowls about 6 overs per innings in FC. 27 yesterday.
That's exactly what I thought too. Didn't look like his delivery position was as high either.The two might not be unrelated and I think they’re both right. He looked like he wasn’t gathering in his delivery stride quite as upright as usual and it was causing him to slightly fall away and push the ball into the pads.
Not sure I agree about his bowling today though. I think he's still half a yard short on pace - mostly around 135-36 rather than 138-140, and he's not making it fly like the other two. Line's better though.It might have been a bit of fatigue or just a bad habit he didn’t have time to work on away from the game, but for me he rectified it in that WC game vs SL when he just charged in and let rip. Everything seemed to come together for him from that point on, and from what I’ve seen of his spell so far today he’s been bang on the money and back to something close to his best
I don't see them getting much past 250 for some reason. That said I think they could have got us for about 380 had they not started each day with the accuracy of an u10s side.If Aus bowl the areas they did that session they’ll still roll through Pakistan cheaply. The openers batted really well to get through those 20 overs
I think the new deal doesn't start until next year, so yeah they might not.Do channel 7 not have the streaming rights for this? Can't find it online.
Yeah it’s still Kayo afaik, which sucks because even though Seven’s crew isn’t perfect, it’s a lot better than Fox’s imoDo channel 7 not have the streaming rights for this? Can't find it online.
Not while 7 has Langer or Hayden. Ponting alone isn't enough to make a commentary team decent.Yeah it’s still Kayo afaik, which sucks because even though Seven’s crew isn’t perfect, it’s a lot better than Fox’s imo
Yeah this is a fair point tooNot while 7 has Langer or Hayden. Ponting alone isn't enough to make a commentary team decent.
