You can’t teach some how to go after a ball so far outside off stump that your best chance of hitting it with the toe end.
There is no style magazine that will tell you how to bearclaw your goatee.
It takes a special kind of person to shoulder arms and get bowled.
You need someone who is deeply attuned to themselves to know when you need psychological help.
Mike Brearleys Art of Captaincy does not tell you to bowl your spinners when reverse swing is your best bet.
And you certainly don’t need 69 Test Matches to tell you to give the new ball someone who has bowled twice in his 98 games.
No my friends, Dilshan is a true renegade. A maverick at heart. You can only admire him because you can never be him.
true story!
Watson made an even bigger fool of himself leaving a ball that hardly deviated. At least Copeland’s did nick in a lot. But I like seeing Watson make an idiot of himself. Even better, Johnson. Laugh a minute stuff.
LOL! 😀
Lolly>Actually Johnson’s leave had what the commentary box would call – intent. It was quite unfortunate that the ball hit the stumps.
Chav and Hiru > Cheers boys !
damiths, that’s what made it so bloody funny. The last thing Johnson should do with bat in hand is engage his brain.
Lolly> For my own selfish reasons, I hope he does keep thinking – with bat and ball. And that Aus keep picking him.
