[quote="dfj01"]I thought most of the bowlers kept to their usual lengths, or just back of. Cummins is the exception, as his usual length is short.[/quote[ My point exactly. They bowled like programmed robots, and nobody thought outside the square. I repeat my point; I defy anyone to hit middle stump yorkers for six. There's a difference between "pitching it up" and a yorker.
And Lyon; just once, try a slow, looping, thigh-high full toss and see if the batsman makes a hash of it. It was a good enough tactic to get the great Jack Hobbs, then Grimmett did it to Hammond, and similarly Laker got Harvey at Old Trafford in 1956.
