Chris Jordan vs Sri Lanka

Chris Jordan celebrates the fall of a Sri Lankan wicket with Alex Hales

There were a lot of grumpy faces when he made it to England squad. After this was a guy who isn’t as consistent as one would like him a prime fast bowler to be. However, after practicing about 3000 yorker length balls under coach Ottis Gibson, England knew that they had a bowler they could trust.

In the 4 death overs that he bowled against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, he conceded only 224 runs while taking 4 wickets. That is a wicket per over while giving away just 6 runs; something which is beyond incredible in death overs.

It was his heroics against Sri Lanka that sealed the game for England. At a time when Angelo Matthews was at his brilliant best, he stopped the Sri Lankan skipper with some perfectly bowled yorkers. He ended the game with outstanding figures of 4/28, which basically sealed England’s place in the semis.
