these 60m boundaries are a bit of a joke, top edges should not be going that far over the line.

Pretty much every ground is 60m boundaries behind the batters now a days. It means an 80m hit straight.
WI got upset at 90m boundaries at Lords the other year.

^ That is just a sad state of affairs. Pro athletes should clear a 90m boundary with ease.

Dew’s kicked in for sure. Should be a simple chase

Class knock from kohli nonetheless

Yeah, great knock from Kohli but you'd back England to chase this all day long, especially with a weakened India attack.

60-70m boundaries just take all the risk out for international players, theres no need to time it or play for a gap they can just slog.

surely the balance of bat v ball would be better if they were 85-90m , i doubt the total scores would be much different as placement and running between the wickets would be more of an importance and the better players would still score.

are the short boundaries driven by TV companies as its more 'exciting' to watch? or the actual teams who can just fill the batting line up with hitters instead of batsmen?

either way, the likes of root, kohli, williamson would still do well but there are some right postage stamp bullies out there

India seem to have reverted to their pre-IPL days comedy fielding. Good to see.

winning the toss is so important in this series they may as well not bother playing and just flip a coin 5 times

Seriously, what’s the point of these T20s? You might as well go home straight after the toss has been decided. T20 cricket has a BIG problem if this run continues.

Toss clearly had been important but so has the availability of Mark Wood.  He was a huge loss of itself in the second game, even more so when Tom Curran was his replacement

I don't think T20 has a problem, it's more these pitches and start time bringing in the dew factor. IPL start times are different and on better pitches and sides win batting 1st.
