Short loves the short stuff Matthew Short loves to pull. Anything slightly short, and Short would stand tall on the crease and without shifting the weight onto his back-foot, he would pull with a disdain. He nervously survived the first three balls from Arshad Khan, and then the left-handed seamer went shot and Short quickly unleashed a fearsome pull in front of square.

Encouraged, Khan pounded another short ball, from around the stumps and angling in. Short just stood where he was and hefted Khan over the square-leg with the ease of swatting a fly. No one ever bothered to bowl another sh...
