I blame David Gower for talking about how the heavy roller had flattened the pitch out literally the ball before the wicket.

It's a good ball that but Blundell should really be going forward to that length. Not actually sure it moved all that much

It hit the seam and deviated horizontally slightly, and probably slowed up a little too. So you could give 'standard complaint about modern batter defending with the bat coming from gully', which it did, as the reason he missed it.

Edit: ok hawkeye says that deviated more than I realised.

It's the way Blundell is squaring up as well. He's setting himself up in his stance and the weight is going backwards, he's too open and the back foot keeps going out towards point.
