CSK dropped the only guy who has the power hitting ability Overton with Conway which was very absurd. You really can't expect Dhoni to deliver all the time. He is past his limelight. It's high time CSK figure out their lineup with few power hitters. 4 done 10 more left. Hope!
What's happening in CSK!!. Losing 2 straight home games has never happened. Chepauk was a fortress unlike now. But what's going wrong. What's the problem CSK is facing that they have never faced.
RCB won in CSK for the first time since 2008. DC won for the first since 2010. Why?
Teams prefer to have 5 or 6 batsman who can strike from ball 1 rather than the usual style of the top order playing passive and then power hitters coming. Teams are preferring to have power hitter all through the lineups. On the other hand CSK haven't still updated.
75 minutes of Hell
On This day; in 1976;It was the 3rd day of Old Trafford Test & West Indies were dominating when they set a target of 552...
England had to survive for 75 minutes of play which turned out to be indescribably brutal...
England Openers were Brian Close(45 years) & John Edrich(39 Years) against
Andy Robers, Michael Holdin & Wayne Daniel , who showed no mercy, relentlessly targeting the batsmen with bouncers aimed at their heads. All three bowlers were exceptionally fast & unleashed their full force against the two elderly batsmen...
Without helmets & any safety gears,both batters endured numerous body blows but managed to protect their wickets...
Ultimately Umpire Bill Alley had to warn Holding for bowling too many bouncers, much to his surprise, Close asked to him:
"Why did you have to do that?" an agitated Close asked Alley.
"He's bowling too many bouncers," Alley responded, confused.
"Don't you realize the bouncers aren't the issue? It's the ones halfway down that are the problem," Close retorted.
Here to mention that Close was famous for appearing immune to pain(see the image for his body blows from the red cherry), he would remark to anyone who flinched or rubbed a bruise: "How can the ball hurt you? It's only on you for a second."
Captain Lloyd didn't hold back his bowlers at all...Though, he commented after the match, "Our guys got carried away."
Both openers survived the session & on their way to dressing room, Edrich asked to Close:
"After 70 minutes out there & getting hit all over, do you know how many runs you scored?" Edrich chuckled.
Close admitted he didn't.
"One," laughed Edrich. "I hope it was worth the pain."
