Big thumbs up from me.
Good lad!
How English One Day Cricket has changed. On commentary yesterday it was said all of England's top 8 had strike rates better than Kevin Pietersen.
This from a side that just 5 years ago had a ODI opening partnership of Cook and Trott.
It has gone on in leaps and bounds, in yesterday's 102 there not that many boundaries but it was made in only 109 balls....that's the way they are coached now....lord help the poor old bowlers when the groundsman produces a 'road' to bat on.Quote:
