every ground has has at least 5-6 pitches, so, dont think it is practical to have that many hover covers. even in England, they dont use that many.

 

Cover the entire ground then.

There was this Matthew Potts guy who played against us & Kiwis last year...   Guess he got shelved too soon. 

England is banking on Robinson to carry the baton after Andu & Broad. 

 

Lords is a fast scoring ground if one gets set. 

 

Short side boundaries. You can feast on it once set

These guys rotate strike very frequently...  Something our batters fail to do.  They know the art of inns building.  Main reason they have higher averages. 

Our players either get stuck or look for f***ing cover drives & eventually nick one.

Whether it is successful or not they constantly try to tinker with technique to adapt to a given surface. Marnus has not quiet mastered that like Smith did. But he is trying. Last match Marnus was outside the crease. This match he is adopting conventional stance.

Yes Oval is quite huge to score quickly even if Pitch is a belter.. 

Trent bridge another fast scoring venue.

Marnus was playing like Kohli to try & cover the swing & over committing on front foot...  No wonder it backfired. 

He almost looked like Kohli in disguise. 

He was batting outside the crease as well lmao...  Like Brat:hysterical:

Good for him he reverted in one test. Kohli is continuing it for 3 years and failing spectacularly.
