Dancing lessons?
LOL. Harsh, but possibly fair.
Still, I shall be watching his footwork on the crease with an even keener eye this season!
:D

How many buses has he spotted so far ?Yorkshire Blue said:Well we know what commentator is the Jonah.
MtS is to commentary, what Dickie Bird is to umpiring.
No buses, but he's currently interviewing his gardener about the state of his garden......

I'm less concerned about Wright's pace as his line and length. I think he has the ability to get quicker, but he needs to have the control as well, as once you start bowling quicker you tend to lose rather than gain accuracy.
Agreed. There were one or two wild swipes, which still give me a moderate cause for concern - but if he can control those urges, then he looks to have a very strong batting package. He is squat and muscular at the crease when batting, which gives him great strength in his strokeplay and makes bouncers a doddle; I guess he has to watch out for the low & straight ones. But footwork was strong and he has decent hand-eye co-ordination.Hopefully his batting will really kick on this season in first class cricket as well. I say this as I think its important for him to show that he is more than an one-day slogger and that it was just a case of his one-day batting clicking before his first class batting did. If he does earn a place as a batsman, it should make it easier for him to have a bowl as well, and develop that part of his game as well. His batting can earn his bowling time to develop.
Good commentary Matt, I enjoyed it, including your interview with your gardener!
