This. There I was expecting to see short bouncers, wide yorkers, short balls wide down leg side, on balls 5 and 6. Something unhittable. Never happened.Apart from the well documented blunders, I also can’t understand why we continued to let Stokes take an easy single off the fifth ball of each over, and why we gave Stokes so many deliveries to get underneath. Should have been more wide yorkers, etc.
We ended up basically bowling length balls to Stokes 5/6 balls every over.
