Shock and awe

Shock and awe they promised. Shock and awe they have so far delivered. The new approach – designed for the 50-over format and aired with some success in the Champions Trophy – seems to have filtered down to the T20 side. Yesterday was pretty shocking - Friday, relatively awe-inspiring.
With the bat, the signs are positive (in more ways than one). Morgan’s pyrotechnics, and the top seven batsmen recording 100+ strike-rates (for only the third time ever) yesterday, are steps in a necessary direction. Just the bowling to sort now…
In the words of that well-known cricket lover Jon Bon Jovi: “We’re half way there.” Time to hold on. Ready or not.
