Think about Curran

I was amazed Morgan said England bowled well at Lord’s. They did not. They bowled poorly. I just wonder whether, like the batsmen, they are too used to good batting pitches. They are programmed now to whack the pitch hard and bowl for dots rather than take wickets. I wonder if they can adapt. In this World Cup you have to hit the stumps and bring in all the dismissals.
