Jadhav’s tricks claim Mohammed
How difficult is it to hit Kedar Jadhav? Ask Jason Mohammed. He bowls offbreaks, but they don’t turn; they slide away a touch, if at all. He bowls them slow, so there is no pace to work. In this match he bowled with an arm lower than Lasith Malinga’s, with the knee bending further to make his release even lower. Mohammed realised he couldn’t expose the stumps, he had to impart all the power himself, and there was the dilemma of “will it turn or not”. In the 31st over, Mohammed was beaten first by one slid away, then had to keep out one that kept low. Then his partner Shai Hope had a chat with him. Next ball he tried to force it away, but all he managed was a return catch. Jadhav even went for a double-play, removing the bails at the non-striker’s end to let Hope know he was out of his crease.
India’s misses
Though India restricted West Indies to 205 for 9, their fielding was not at its best. There were misfields in the outfield, a few fumbles, and some chances – some really difficult ones, some not quite so – missed.
