Arjun
Cricketer Of The Year
Yesterday, I was watching the South African second innings (following-on) in the Test. My folks said this is what Test cricket is about. They're prepared to stay out there for a time long enough, without taking any risks. Looking at the bowling figures of the English bowlers, none of them got carted around- which was a good thing, because they were very keen on staying there.
Now it's got me thinking. What if it was Hayden and Langer in such a spot, following on and set back by a huge run deficit? Would they carry on their trademark aggression and take on the bowlers? Especially such an attack? Or would they too get stuck in the middle and play out a whole day? Would the Australians' play-to-win style still be seen here? And would it work?
