He bowled 4 length balls - half volleys today... Zero variation... Would have loved to see a slow short ball or even a quick short one to surprise Brathwaite.. Might be a handy bowler in Tests, but poor performance today.

 

 

Saw the highlights and the way Jordan bowled the 19th over, it was clear, go yorkers. Instead, all his yorker attempts were full tosses and too full to be pulled for 6s.

First ball was absolute shit but there is still a comeback possible. Second ball he tried to perfect the yorker and it was not a bad ball but missed by a little bit - was a genius hit by Carlos scooping that up. After that Stokes just lost it. 

 

I think captain and others should have calmed him down.

Brathwaite didn't exactly have to time the ball. His brute force carried the ball over the fence.

Yes, but some variations, maybe a slow ball or a slow ball bouncer would have been difficult to put bat on ball.. Even a couple of dots after the first six or maybe a single could have changed things drastically.

His length and direction was right in his arc. That was his mistake. Bit wider or bit shorter might have yielded some other result.
