Goyyan: "From Canada - Is there too much movement? 4 wides already?" -- I heard the breeze blowing is making Arshdeep fight it

Srini: "@Jay - Sreshth has answered your question based on Rahul's recent interview. My two cents on this approach is that Rahul is just fast tracking himself for another injury or stress facture. He is a top order batsman who likes to grind in the middle. On top of it, if he is keeping the wickets for tests and ODIs (even when not needed)...it's lunacy for me."

Kirubakaran : "I often thinking about the word, SELFLESS - a word most used in recent times. Though it points the manner in which the batter makes runs, it often used during 50s and 100s. Winning or losing, century is a century. That how the cricket stats are working. If a batter could be called PLAYING FOR HIMSELF (meant by calling others SELFLESS), Can we erase 100s and 50s records which are being kept?"

3.4 Arshdeep Singh to Hendricks, FOUR runs

Length ball angling away. Hendricks slaps it over backward point, and that's one bounce four!
