What is his calling technique? And how many of those losses were the oppo's call? (How do they decide who calls and who tosses?)
Cricket is so much better when there is something for the bowlers.
In other Test news, England out for 77 in Barbados. I haven't seen any video, but it seems there was nothing outrageous in the pitch. Modern batsmen have no defensive technique.

The home captain (or sometimes, a guest) flips the coin and the visiting captain calls heads or tails.

I just saw 5 seconds of this on the TV... and it looked like at least a couple of them just defended good-length balls on to their stumps! Hmm...

Hat-trick ball is very wide and left alone! Lakmal grins ruefully.

Time to channel Bill Lawry 1993:
