Then he settles on a length where he thinks he can slip in a few quiet overs and starts hitting it with regularity. To Warner, he used the surprise bouncers and deliveries kicking up length, and also targeted his leg and middle stump line. IPL had made clear that Warner had trouble with that line of attack; middle-and-leg line had kept him quiet. And so we moved to the 44th over when Cummins came on for the first real test for Pandya. That shot would have worried Australia for it told them that Pandya wasn’t just swinging big, not pre-determining his shots, but reacting to the demands of the ball.
