So Strauss fired Moores before he was announced, and told a bunch of people about it before he told Moores. Good job, excellent start.

Largepotato posted:It would be amusing if Gillespie turned them down. Quite likely I reckon. Why would anyone want a job like that when they can moonlight as a twenty20 coach for a tenth of the hassle. The only people it attracts are meticulous control freaks like Flower or desperate cases like Moores.

Whenever AB stars batting well the bowlers just start feeding him these lovely full tosses which he then easily hits for boundaries. It happened in the WI games and it happened in this game.

It happened in the WI games and it happened in this game. It's difficult to bowl when you are under extreme pressure and have virtually no margin for error, and AB also uses his sweep shot to turn decent yorkers into full tosses.

It happened in the WI games and it happened in this game. When AB's in that mood you could bowl a perfect yorker at 90mph and he just charges the bowler turning it into a full toss. It is incredibly difficult to bowl at someone who has so many destructive shots and is very happy to charge down the wicket or run across the crease.

Yep the pressure kills fast bowlers when he is hitting it like that. Realistically the bowler needs to probably keep following him with the ball but he's so quick at adjusting. Yorkers are just going to end up as a full toss hit for six. Try and cut off his room and he just keeps dead still and punches it through the on side.

Maybe the secret is to try the English method and bowl the ball halfway down the pitch.

What happens if you bowl at the top of off stump? Doctor Cave posted:No balls that went to the boundary? Those would be byes or runs to the batsman in that case.

Drugs posted:A no-ball that misses everything and goes for 4 is 5 no balls. There can't be two types of extras in the same ball We always put them down as byes because technically the wicketkeeper should have stopped it, I didn't know they were all supposed to be no balls.

County trundlers are exactly the type of bowling he needs to be in practice against if he's going to face Australia. Those runs are invaluable.

He was protecting the other end pretty well. Bowlers never got a good go at the tail.
