    Not a bad knock in the situation from Denly. 20 from 17 having faced seven balls of Malinga.

    Denly to bowl first over - lets see how he does.
    We've got 6 bowlers and yet bowl Denly in 1st over - dont get it, but lets see how he does.

    Must be tough to join the team at such short notice

    Yes Joe!
  • Delighted for Joe, and pleased that he was able to open the bowling

    2-5 off 2 is almost certainly better than the other 6 would have done.

  • Denly opens the bowling for Kent in white ball cricket. Really pleased the Morgan or the England management let him do what's been successful for him, especially when forced to bat down the order which isn't his natural position

    I like the Sri Lankan commentator....'England have discovered their mystery spinner' !
    Yeah, because noone has seen him bowl before !

    You can't be a mystery spinner called Joe Denly, mystery spinners have got to have long and unpronounceable names!

    Never doubt Denly
  • Denly MOTM, not a bad way to crown your return, especially as he wasn't even in the white ball squad originally!

    What a legend the man is, a true Man of Kent. Keep your grubby mitts off of him, Slurry.
  • Leg spin

    8 overs - 7 for 30!

    Amazing how T20 has made leg spinners an essential part of a bowling attack, when they had been virtually extinct in this country

    Even more so when you consider that the reason they became virtually extinct was their lack of economy in the first class game, too many 'four balls.' Yet they are thriving in a format where the batsman tries to get after the bowler from the off.

    Unfamiliarity perhaps? Will there be a bit of 'second season' syndrome for Joe the bowler? I know that it will not be Joe's actual second season obviously but as a front line bowler in all formats it effectively will be arguably.

    "In the old days" to be economical, you had to keep to a good line and length, to fire it in to the same place

    These days if you do that you get clobbered. It's unpredictability which makes it harder for the modern day batsman to smack a ball, and leg spinners have that if they can turn it both ways. The lack of pace on the ball seems to help too.
