Seamers — left-armers from over the stumps and right-handers from around — have exploited Travis Head’s weakness against good and fuller-length balls seaming away from him. Perhaps they are something India can attempt to target in the Super 8 clash against Australia in St Lucia on Monday. Here are a few instances: Bowled by Naveen-ul-Haq: The ball from the right-hander around the stumps swung into him.

Head shaped for the waft over the bowler’s head. But he could not reach the pitch of the ball; more crucially he did not account for the marginal away seam movement. A combination of both beat his swipe.



KNOCKED HIM OVER! 😮‍💨 A dream delivery by #NaveenulHaq and #TravisHead is bowled! 🔥 SUPER 8 👉 #AFGvAUS | LIVE NOW | #T20WorldCupOnStar (available only in India) pic.twitter.com/u6tUW6dGBL — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 23, 2024 Bowled by Jofra Archer: This time, he moved away from the stumps to the leg-side, as he had the previous ball, cleared his front leg and looked to launch the ball over covers.

But the off-cutter from England quick gripped off the surface, cut away from him, beat him with the lack of pace and the ball clattered the stumps. Bowled by Mitchell Starc: It was the dream ball during SRH vs KKR in the IPL from a left-handed seamer to a left-handed batsman. The ball curved in the air, luring him to drive down the ground, before bending away (this was swing) to blast the stump.

Yet again, his non-existent front-foot stride beautified.
