Morkel explains why Kuldeep's place in eleven depends on India's top 6

India's top-six batters need to be more consistent for a potential entry of specialist bowler Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven, bowling coach Morne Morkel has reasoned. There has been enough hue and cry over the non-selection of left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep in the series thus far. Former players from India and England have vouched for his inclusion in the side considering he is a genuine match winner. However, India have preferred picking three all-rounders in the playing eleven to shore up their batting till number eight. The move has given them mixed results. Calling Kuldeep a world-class spinner, Morkel said India are trying to fit the wily operator into the side. He can now only play the last Test at The Oval from July 31. "So Kuldeep, we are trying to find a way for him, but it is just more that consistent runs from our top six that we want so that we can bring a guy like Kuldeep in," said Morkel in a rather long media interaction post stumps on day three of the fourth .

Kevin Pietersen says modern batting conditions much easier than before

England great Kevin Pietersen has stirred a fresh debate by claiming that batting in the current era is "way easier" than it was 20-25 years ago, suggesting a decline in the quality of bowling across Test-playing nations. Pietersen's comments on his social media handle came a day after fellow England batter Joe Root overtook Australia great Ricky Ponting to climb to second place in the all-time list of Test run scorers. "Don't shout at me but batting these days is way easier than 20/25 years ago! Probably twice as hard back then!, Pietersen wrote on X on Saturday. Pietersen, who played 104 Tests, 136 ODIs and 37 T20Is for England between 2005 and 2013, has been as flamboyant with his views as he was in the middle with the bat. The former right-handed batter, who made 8,181 runs at 47.28 with 23 tons and 35 fifties in Test cricket, said batting was twice as hard back then. Pietersen named a host of bowlers from the past eras and challenged his readers to name 10 contemporary bowler
