    Reminiscent of the WI greats of the 70's/80's.

    Nasty one for Carey to deal with, literally taking it on the chin. Hard to believe that players didn't wear protective headgear not that long ago.
    That said, you wonder whether the batsman's technique is flawed these days and they over-rely on the helmet.

    When I started playing, they introduced helmets and there was a lot of chat about whether it a good idea due to batsman being less likely to move out of the way of a short ball.

    Obviously, the positives out weigh the negatives but some of the really bad accidents we've seen wouldn't have happened 20/30 years ago... although there would have been a lot more that did! (I'm pro helmets by the way!)

    Boy will Aud be glad to see the back of Rashid, and Archer for that matter.

    Smith still there so they still have a chance. Gotta be there at the end though.
