Nah, but I'd have liked to see it. I'll take a teenager failing over this shite. It's a miracle Kohli has gotten so many runs this year what with him never walking in with a decent platform.
Yeah, I would rather give a youngster chances to fail, get bruised and learn.

Burgey, will you go without food if Kohli wins this for us tomorrow?
You reckoned without the GOAT.

Virat a tad quieter now than he was three hours ago.

And as TC noted yesterday, no one is picking Lyon's arm ball atm. Wonder what he's doing differently with it.

Can see your pov on this tbh. Shaw would be in barring injury anyway I suppose, can't say I've seen the other young bloke.

**** I hope Paine sprayed the living **** out of Kohli there. Up to the stumps he was in plumb position for it.

I doubt he's doing much different tbh. Natural variation of the pitch. Classic finger spin.

Yeah that's not his true arm ball, his actual arm ball tends to really drift and slide like an outswinger almost. I actually remember the first Big Bash where he initially came to prominence, he got a fair few batsmen out with it. He needs to bowl it more IMO.

I don't think that one was actually an arm ball at all; if anything I reckon Kohli was just spooked a bit by the footmark that it almost hit and played for too much turn. It didn't really drift away, it just didn't turn much either.

Haha everyone replied to that Burgey post with more or less the same thing. Trust TJB to have made the point in the most derisive way possible out of all the respondents.

How did that not hit the stumps? Pitch is a lot less demonic than it was in the Australian innings.
