400 wickets in 322 matches is 1.25 wickets per match, while 187 in 99 is 1.9.

Yeah but like Waqar, Starc probably took more tailenders so it's all equal apparently.

I was referring to Boult, who specialises in top order wickets.
Starc has 206 wickets in 105 matches (1.95).

Shami, Boult etc have a very high WPM ratio also. Just a product of the era. More wickets fall in an innings now.

I know it was not a great over but he was on a hiding to nothing. The momentum had completely shifted, he was asked to bowl like a medium pacer with the keeper standing back. I don't blame the poor guy that he choked.

He really did a shocking job even if he changed his bowling style completely. Like it was a terrible over even by school cricket standards. Hashim Amla would've bowled a better over it was that bad.

Funnily enough his first delivery in which he got Pandya out was a legit left armer dismissal. Don't know why he changed his MO after that. Always stick to your strengths.

The problem with Pakistan is that they are equally capable of that level of incompetence as well so its hard to spot

India rightly took advantage of Pakistan's mistakes.
And to be fair to Nawaz, he actually took two wickets in that last over. The wide was unforgiveable IMO.

I was being sarcastic about that phrase that is post facto bandied around as some kind of deep insight. No one held their nerves as such. One team has to inevitably and even by total chance has to win.
Edit: Actually, Ashwin did hold his nerves in the final over.

The craziest thing the last India-Pakistan match did to me is that, for the first and probably the last time, I started viewing the awful godigit ad and Kohli dancing to its tune with a little less contempt.

One of the best T20I shots of all time should be the non-shot by Ashwin.

Kyle Mayers back foot cover punch drive into the 3rd tier earlier in the month would be hard to beat

Whatever it takes!!!
Pretty sure SKY played the exact same shot in the home T20s last month
