Very strange run. Not sure I agree that wickets mean nothing in white ball cricket but the risk/reward of a risky single in red ball cricket doesn't make sense.
An individual wicket is pretty meaningless in white ball as it just means the next hitter comes out to chance their arm. Red ball, you only have a few test quality batsmen, you can’t go wasting or risking them for a few pinched singles
Roy going early doesn’t hurt England in white ball.. or bairstow etc etc . It’s what that format is about, just go at the ball every ball etc.
Good game so far this.. really great fun
Again, don't think I agree. White ball the risk/reward calculation is skewed towards taking a higher level of risk.
You have, roughly, the same number of batsmen in a test side as an ODI/T20 side so I'm not sure what you're trying to say there.
The difference is in the risk/reward calculations. In white ball cricket you cannot win games any more by only playing low risk shots or taking low risk runs, whereas in red ball you can absolutely grind your way to wins.
Different note, Green looks a very exciting player. Be interesting to see how his batting comes on against Test match quality attacks.
