As Skull pointed out earlier, his setup and starting so far across to off-stump means he’s almost blocking himself from playing a cover drive, which was a big weapon of his when he started so brightly. You’re really having to sweat on anything straight, or wait for a short ball, and to India’s credit they’re giving him none of that.
Andy Roberts filled in plenty of batsmen with two different paced bouncers, though there’s a suspicion the quicker one was a questionable action.
Jeff Dujon reckons the fastest spell he ever kept to - and he saw all of that crop - was Patrick Patterson at the MCG . Absolute lunatic , Patterson , but fortunately rarely had the control to make use of extreme pace.
Marshall could make the ball talk and his control of pace, swing and seam was terrifyingly surgical.
Garner was almost impossible to score off and the lift off the pitch was ridiculous.
Curtly was just all round brilliant. Not quite as express or pants soiling as a couple, but he had everything in his kit bag.
