To be fair to Eoin, he scored 161 off 136 balls in that game, and his strike rate was 250 on balls that he played the reverse sweep.

I have a firm dislike of batsmen who show all of their teeth between deliveries and take the piss with reverse everythings.

Morgan was “just a bit good” on Monday. Have rather too many photographs for my liking of him playing cheeky little dinks and sweeps!

You’ll need to cut and paste that link – the bracket in the file name seems to confound KCs system.

Worth the effort though.

Eoin does seem to have rather a lot of time to change his mind and stuff.

T Rex’s were OK with cricket bats, as shown in the attached picture link to the Wikipedia article on T Rex cricket:

If He was to bat like A TRex he’d probably be a bit busy biting the head off the square leg umpire to play that shot. though the ball would be called a wide and the fact a multi Ton dinosaur would be rampaging around the outfield would probably cause the match to be abandoned.

Seems a little pointless to me.

Given that the result of all this bat twirling was that he hit a leg-side delivery somewhere behind square on the leg side, which is the outcome of most normal sweep shots, I think the greater question is why?

Was he just showing off, the great show-off?
