13.5
Alzarri Joseph to Bethell, FOUR, third boundary of the over! Length delivery slanting across outside off, Bethell hung back and waited for it before playing a late cut, went a lot finer than he wanted and beat the man at third man
13.4
Alzarri Joseph to Bethell, no run, good length delivery slanting across outside off, nice square drive goes straight to backward point
13.3
Alzarri Joseph to Bethell, FOUR, once again! Short of length on middle again, Bethell hangs back and heaves it over mid-wicket again, almost an action replay
13.2
Alzarri Joseph to Bethell, FOUR, great shot! Just a fraction short on off-stump, Bethell hangs back and pulls it up and over mid-wicket, picked the length very early

He went Kolij not Cawmere like Sudden!

AJ said he is well loved in Bim

Forde to Bethell, out Caught by Brandon King!! There goes another and the story is very similar! Every time the English batters have looked for a big shot, they've perished. Here goes Bethell too after getting off to a start. Length delivery on off-stump from round the wicket, Bethell hung back looking to heave it away across the line and over mid-wicket. The lack of pace from the wicket comes through again and it doesn't come on to the bat, hits the toe end and lobs up towards the covers where it's taken easily. England in some real trouble now.

Bethell c Brandon King b Forde 27(33) [4s-3]

Weh Matthew Forde went school, Miaman?

In reply to Narper

I was on the road when he batted; I saw the video during the rain delay.
Listening to his parents last Tuesday evening, especially his mother, the guy is another Shiv; cricket is his love, and he works at it.
how many posters kids are in cricket academies in the region?

That is the way to go.
BTW, not every youngster will make it.
Cricket is a professional sport; you have to put in the work and have good coaches if you want to be successful.

Roston Chase to Jacob Bethell, SIX, fine 50 for Jacob Bethell, reaches there in style. Drag-down on the stumps, Jacob Bethell goes on the back foot and nails the pull into the grassbanks at deep mid-wicket
25.3
Roston Chase to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, consecutive fours. This is down leg, short fine-leg was inside and Jacob Bethell helps it over that man, he is playing well
25.2
Roston Chase to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, extra bounce on this back of a length delivery just outside off but Jacob Bethell rocks back and cuts it between two men at backward point and takes four

Chase to Bethell, OUT
uses his feet once more, but this time he's picked out long-off! It was the right aggressive approach to take, but the bat skewed in his hands, just a touch short of getting right to the pitch... a gutsy knock ends but that's a big blow to England's hopes
