The Ashwin effect. A scaled down version of the Sehwag-Slater paradox. Reality is there are few batsmen who are very good timers of the ball and who can pierce the in field with excellent shots but often find it difficult to ping the boundaries when the field is that spread out.
I mean, I am sure Labu has his dancing feet out there but don't you need to be on the backfoot to be playing a "cut" shot?Crapinfo said:
Go Labu!!!
Actually redundant is probably the wrong word because England likely require his bowling given Root is the 6th bowler. Just if he's going to bat 8 and be the 5th bowler used I think he's a strange choice given he's shown no great pedigree bowling in the middle or death.
Nah, he's gun. Just had an off day.
He is our best ever one day spinner (not that he has much competition) but I don't get the reasoning behind the calls for a return to the test side when he doesn't play first class cricket. He was probably unlucky to be dropped but after being dropped has hardly played a game since so how can he have improved?
Swann I would say. I was more talking about his one day bowling. I feel Leach is our best red ball spinner. Obviously Rashid deserves his spot in the one day side he’s just no where near as good as sky make him out to be.
No one averaging 31+ is a gun however much you want him to be.
No need to stick with Archer and Woakes. Rashid has bowled terribly today.
