When did Stokes "lose his radar"?
He's oscillated between rubbish and good with the ball this series tbh. Served up some pies in the first test especially and in the first innings at headingley.
That's not particularly due to him having lost his radar any more than usual, mind - he can bowl devestating wicket taking spells, long workhorse dry-ish spells, or completely filthy spells and you never know which he's going to come out with when you give him the ball
see os post, and i see you've moved the goalposts so i'll take that as a concession cdg is a good bowler please and thank you
Nah it does make some sense on purely cricketing logic grounds. Lyon was really trying to bowl fast and wide as possible to take the slog sweep out of play, with the added benefit of significant spin out of the rough that would make the lofted shot down the ground that much more dangerous as well - so easy in that case to skew one to long-on or deep cover in those circumstances. But that line becomes perfect for a right-handed batsman playing the slog sweep, and you're hitting with the turn too. Takes an insane amount of skill and gumption to pull off, of course, but the benefit is that it makes the orthodox shots that much less risky because it forces Lyon to reconsider his line.
first time on cricketweb?
3 massive bits of luck in the last month or so
I don't know about "atrocious" decision. Was definitely an incredibly lucky innings though.
Well if CDG is a good bowler, how is he averaging 10 more than a bowler who has apparently lost his radar recently?
he isn’t?
