Head doesn't get over the ball with a straight back leg hitting it down into the ground through point. He hits it with a bent back leg collapsing in the shot and you get what he did in Perth, two skied catches to 3rd man. When was the last time one of our test batsman got caught twice in a match at 3rd man? Perth, 2018, that's when.
What that shows is our coaching from the ground up no longer looks to the tried and tested "text book" batting methods, instead it looks to how runs can be scored the fastest > T20.
Example Handscomb ! who taught him to bat?Harris has he never seen short pitched bowling? could you imagine him in the windies era
Handscomb is an excellent example. The commentators spoke about how he went away ( for 2 weeks mid series, mind you ) and made changes to his game. He ******* didn't. All he did was move a foot away from the stumps and why the **** is a bloke in a baggy green making changes mid series?
