Admittedly he played on but I'm pretty sure he gets bowled way above average for a top batsman....maybe somebody will pull the stats!!

Peess here only see Hope as fairly weak against fast short balls.

I said a long time that Hope biggest weakness is playing balls pitched up on off-stump.

his beautiful off drives are mainly on the up.

I believe that his strength of driving on the up is now a weakness.

he needs to defend those balls until he gets comfortable.

Too much white ball cricket.

Too much white ball cricket also negatively impacting others' batting.

Chase and King are the other 2 main culprits.

They are playing away from their pads

and opening up their legs to drive.

I would suggest about 80% of the times he has been bowled he has played on.

In reality he gets bowled playing offensive shots which I believe shows his weakness.
