Bloody hell that’s a snorter from Nortje, Crawley gone but not much you can do about that kind of ball, one of those where he’s almost done well to get a nick on it.
Makes me laugh the way the commentators try to defend things, it’s a decent ball, but he could have left that based on length, that’s the one job you expect an opening bat to be good at, opening batsman are meant to be able to face the ball when it’s at its newest, ours have proven time and time...
The same thing happens 90% of the time we go for this tactic, bowl it short… opposition tail enders thrash about and make a quick score which pushes their total up and gets frustrating for the fans/players
At least if you bowl normally and a tail ender smacks it about you can say he’s played...
