“I do not know what you are able to do about it. There are 12 gamers for you, it’s entertaining, you possibly can carry on the impression participant after watching how the sport goes, how the pitch is behaving. When you bat effectively and you do not lose wickets, you possibly can add one other bowler, it offers you an choice of six or seven bowlers. You do not require that further batter as a result of numerous groups are batting effectively up entrance and also you hardly see a No 7 or No 8 coming to bat,” he added.

It is not dangerous bowling, it is simply folks coming free mindset & smacking all around the half. That is how T20 cricket performed as of late,” he added.
