A good example is Joe Root. When he bats in a Test Match if the first ball he faces is slightly overpitched or widish he is straight on to it and, on occasion, puts it away for 4. The traditional method of test batting would be wait until you’ve got your eye in before attacking the ball, but that doesn’t seem to apply anymore. Until a batsman uppishly square cuts the first ball faced and is caught at cover point and, on commentary, it’s over to Geoffrey Boycott for his “opinion”. |

They better stay that way for the one-dayers too. Part of my attempt to convert the missus to cricket is dragging her to the 2 one-dayers in Cardiff in the summer. Sri Lanka first then Pakistan. A bit of sunshine and a couple of wins (plus plenty of cider) and I reckon I'll be well on the way to being able to watch a whole series at home without her moaning about losing access to the TV for days at a time.

I'm off to Durham Saturday for 2nd day of 2nd test so it will probably piss down or "bad light", despite floodlights, will come into it. Would like to see Cookie score his 10,000th. I was at Headingley all those years ago when Borecott "accumulated" his 100th First Class Ton. So its payback time.
