D'arcy Short will have a field day against the England bowlers on his home track.. genuinely think if he turns up they can chase any score. The mans a magician with the stick.
Such brainless batting by all of them. Someone should make a VHS compilation of all our dismissals in this game and send it back in time 30 years with the words 'CRICKET 2018' scrawled on the side
Terrible choice of shots from a number of players. I am a Kent fan but Billings doesn't do it for me. Too inconsistent.
It's a shame because there is a very decent batsman there but I think that the issue is that sometimes he feels that he needs to show off his funky shots rather than using his orthodox ones - I saw him recently reverse sweep three out of four balls despite the fact that the opposition had a backward point and man on the point boundary specifically for that shot. Then he tried to ramp a spinner when the risk/reward for a ball with no pace simply doesn't warrant it.
England are very one dimensional, they only play one way.
They play with a freedom of expression that Baylis and Farbrace have granted them. They are uninhibited and free of the shackles that held them back for so long. But as you say only play one way, no regard for the state of the match. Sometimes they will score 220+ (400+ in ODI) but not enough times to warrant this approach as the only one.
