The only time the England batsman will leave a ball is if it is a straight one .....
I think Stokes is trying to kill Stokes.Root is trying to kill Stokes.
So I didn't know that. Its actually a different type of ball that moves differently under the same conditions (it doesn't swing in humid air).It's not just the pitch, the main difference is the lack of fielding restriction and the different ball. Playing risky shots is a lot less risky if the ball does nothing and they can't put fielders in the areas you want to hit it.

Still no excuse for poor technique is there?So I didn't know that. Its actually a different type of ball that moves differently under the same conditions (it doesn't swing in humid air).
So its a combination of things really, the ball, the way the pitch is prepped, the fielding restrictions + poor form. I had imagined that with England holding the central contracts, there would be plenty opportunity to train and coach every version of the game. Bloody hell, I still remember the coaching at school where defensive shots on back and front foot seemed to be 90% of what we got taught. Times change I guess.much less so.
