Currently batting in the IPL for Punjab and got 27 off 9 from the first two overs of the match. Joy to watch.
Same here. Makes me sad when he plays these world class innings knowing his dad isn't around to enjoy it. 21 balls to get his half century and he's taken a couple of Aussies in Maxwell and Hazlewood to the cleaners.
His dad was the same.. used to watch him in the John Player league.. use to come in at 5or6 and knock the run rate along with a quick 40 or so after Sir Geoffrey had taken up half the inings to get to 50..
He's had a terrible IPL. He just keeps swinging, which by the law of averages will come off occasionally .
When he opened for SRH with Warner it was one of the most successful opening partnerships in the history of the IPL. So of course when Punjab sign him they bring him in down the order wasting him and he was poor. The last three games they have finally played him at his favoured position and been rewarded with back to back half centuries.
