I’m not 100% convinced it is, Phil. He makes Malinga’s look positively conventional.
It doesn’t look great at full pace but when you watch it slowed down it looks fine

I know , always thought the same with Malinga but he looks a very handy bowlerIt’s nothing short of miraculous that he has any directional control over the ball.
The rules allow a certain amount of bend in the arm, the critical point is that the arm shouldn’t straighten during delivery,

See he’s been forced to admit he lied last week about the incident. Will this be the final straw re losing the captaincy?More details coming out about Harry Brook and the bouncer incident in New Zealand , and they still insist there isn’t a drinking culture in the team.
Hope so. Between this, his lack of application with the bat (seems disinterested at times - wonder how diligent he is at practice if he's turning up after nights out too) and general demeanour he doesn't seem suited. There's no doubt he COULD be a great batter if he focuses properly on doing the hard yards in that but the best batter in your side doesn't automatically make them a good captain...See he’s been forced to admit he lied last week about the incident.

The best captains lead by example, he sets a pretty bad one on and off the pitch.Hope so.

But does he play golf though?
Him and his brother have the potential to be stars
James should be in for Smith in the test team imo
Not looking good at the moment, India going at nearly 10 an over and Suryavanshi over 150 and striking at over 200!Good luck to the U-19s today in the World Cup. Hopefully they can get Suryavanshi out before he puts the game out of reach.
He has got the 2nd fastest IPL century (after Chris Gayle) in only 35 balls so can be a very dangerous player. Also got a 50 in the semi final so in good touch at the moment.
dont worry, India will be all out for 350 and Eng will bazzball and finish with 2-5 overs to spareNot looking good at the moment, India going at nearly 10 an over and Suryavanshi over 150 and striking at over 200!
Fear it will be too little, too late. Will probably be a good result if we can get within 70 or 80 in the chase.Decent fightback in the last 10 overs
Not scoring off the first 2 overs is just making it harder.Just got home and turned on. 175 of 80 balls. Some going that. 8.25 an over from the start is going to be tough
