As I said....absolute BEAST of a ball!
The shape, line, length and swing were perfect!" Plus at 88mph, the pace was quick too!
I reckon that ball would have removed 90% of top order batsmen  :o
So can't be too hard on Malan  ;)

There's something oddly satisfying about bringing a batsman down to his knees like that. Shades of Waqar in that one...

Surely I'm not the only person who thinks a top order batsman should be able to keep out a Yorker. Yes it swung in and was quick but you've got to pick length better than that.

Given that's what Wasim used to do regularly to our batsmen, I think you are being a little harsh ;)

If you adjust  by going backward  or forward you can play the Yorker go forward you can hit it anywhere what you don't do is let yourself  get trapped on the crease.

Yes
Against a poor Sri Lanka team and at times a poor Pakistan what did he do in Asia in the winter.

Woakes when he is injured has proved just how much he is missed

If you are tracking the line of a yorker and it appears to be missing off stump so you're setting up for a leave, then it comes back in on you late, that's much more difficult than it seems...

Why can't we give the bowlers the credit he deserves?

For years a well bowled fast surprise Yorker has been a ball to get any batsmen out.

Thinking back to the days of waqar and wasim plus joel garner

Sometimes its not the batsmens fault he has just been done by a good ball

Sure in hindsight he may be closed off or not forward enough but it was a 90mph in swinging Yorker

well bowled sir well bowled

He is missed because England don't have a lot of choice  its disapointing Woakes is not fit to play against SA  but  that said England  are lacking  a  fourth  seamer the quality of
Philander Morkal Anderson and Broad.
Anyway come Australia  time will tell and hopefully I will be proved wrong.

Wouldn't have been the same ball to a right-hander?
