our top order normally collapses before the bowlers loosen up and properly uses the advantage of the new ball, normally its our middle order who needs to face the venom of the new ball.

anyway struggled when WI bowled with two new balls. perhaps we need to stop playing cricket when quality bowlers of quality teams take advantage of new ball against us. we will be totally doomed
