Oh bhai calm down. Let’s not get carried away as always
IMO Salt has really regressed in recent times. Alot of the time you feel like he doesn't use his brain at all. When you have so much talent and natural hitting ability you need to do justice to that talent.

Phil Salt will bang 18 ball 50s here in the PSL

We tend to go overboard with what we see in front of us. He’s a gun batter

He hasn't regressed. He's the same T20 player he ever was.

His ODI game is getting exposed because he plays too many attacking shots.

You're probably right. But Salt is supposed to be one of England's main white-ball openers, much more is expected of him. This year he has averaged 20 in ODI and 17 in T20I, which is very disappointing.

I disagree. For me its just a question of shot-selection and better judgement. He needs to put more value on his wicket. He is one of the cleanest strikers of the ball but far too often you see him bat recklessly. He has a lot to learn from his opening partner Ben Duckett who isn't nearly as gifted but a far smarter cricketer.

Phil Salt in T20I's

Average 34
Strike rate 164

That's absolutely elite in T20 cricket.
 
also khusdhil has played 5 less balls than Vince and has scored 40 fewer runs than him. Diabolical skill gap
 
Can't take anything away from HappyHeart but gotta question the thought-process of Jordan. Three balls in right about the same area
 
That's the problem with bowlers whose go to death deliveries are yorkers.

Margin of error is minute. And decent pace/death hitters will smash you out of the park.

Better to go cross seam and into the pitch with pace variation

Easiest trick to pull in English cricket is to label yourself a death bowler. You can bowl mince but the pundits lap it up and make excuses as the bowler is a "death specialist".
 
Akif is not an old ball bowler. Why do these people not know these things. He should have been given another over when he had taken two wickets.

Terrible captaincy by Rizwan to add to the downright slow batting.

Key is to be precise with yorkers. Bumrah, Gull and Malinga excelled at that.

Game has changed since Gul and Malinga days even though they were experts. Khushdil was batting so deep his back foot was almost touching the stumps! Bowlers need to be smarter now for sure.
