Dude
If JO score 20 from 13 balls like Aftab did in the test, you would say “ JO is not good enough to be a Opening Batsman”. Now he makes sure regardless of the run he at least keep one end of the wicket steady you say “ JO is stupid and don’t know how to play ODI”

How many times BD batting collapsed? JO became the anchor man here. I wish we had few more like him who can hold one end of the wicket steady.

in ODI cricket , rotating the strike is utmost important. when one cant hit 4s he has to make sure to keep the strike rotating. it puts bowlers and captain under pressure. JO cant even make singles once 15 overs are up and vaughan was trying to keep him on strike and they succeded.
