I know Joe Root can make a bat stand up by itself (Lord's) but Jamie Overton averages 97.00 in Test matches with the bat and carries it off the field by just one finger! WOW! That's true magic. (Follow @DudleyPlatypus on Instagram)

Went to the same spot in the Oval Maidan as yesterday but was more aware of working with the shadows. Stood right next to the keeper. Did I get hit by the ball? Yes! On right foot, near my groin & on the heart. Fairly painful but in the end to me worth it.
