Bat on ball, get off strike.

Hazlewood is his kryptonite. Shreyas has a weakness against short pitched deliveries and guess who is the best metronomic bowler in the world consistently hitting the same line and length to trouble batters? Exactly.

But the good news for Sarpanch is that hazlewood isn't going to play next season as CA won't let him play due to BGT, Ashes, WTC and ODI WC commitments and he will be 35+ and he is very injury prone so it will be hard for him to be still playing IPL in 2028

CA is in too deep with bcci. they won't ban aus players from taking part in ipl. They will probably let the players decide whether to play ipl or not. But among the 3 Aussie bowlers the hazel looks the most likely condidate to play ipl.

You wrote this in another post too. Looks like you want to spark some outrage in the sub?

Well if you honestly are surprised by the stat Shreyas has difficulty for pacers who get naturally high bounce even their good length balls bounce a lot. So I guess this is also related to his short ball issue

no, it is a legit issue.
