All these showy gamers around him acquire luxuriant fifties. But without the glue at No 4 obtaining the big variety of operates he carries out, they are knackered. "He can refrain from doing it each week, and he carried out refrain it this week. Jasprit Bumrah enjoys bowling at Root, and could badly restrict his outcome next summer.
