I think we must try and bat out the overs,only hit the bad balls for runs,we goin lose if we attack the spinners(good spinners),we may stand a better chance if we just try and bat out the spinners,no matter the result we go learn.

who say they can play spin is full of BS, the one type of mentality approach of this team is infuriating and frankly embarrassing, as soon as condition don't suite, you fold like a pack of cards, what the hell is that

If Powell made the statement, perhaps he was more referring to himself. He’s often been targeted by fans and media alike (maybe opposition too) as one who can’t play spin.

His runs today provided some sort of counter to that criticism.

Yea. That's a solid comeback forget about the result but that was truly encouraging away from home on the subcontinent on a turning track.

difference generally is that in the IPL you wouldn't necessarily get 2 - 3 intl class spinners at a time...and the ipl tracks have become flatter and flatter...dust bowls don't entertain the masses lol

Powell should try open batting . And slug it out at the top against the spinner because that all he can do.

Next series open with Powell and Russell.lol

that is why this tour should have been important for them to show their abilities but alas, they must rest for the better paydays to come
