George Bailey: What he said, really meant and definitely didn’t

George Bailey likes short-sleeved Akshar Patel.

What he said:

“Wicket-taker, contains, and he does it in a short-sleeved shirt, which is nice to see for a spinner.”

George Bailey has nothing but praise for his Kings XI teammate Akshar Patel, a left-arm spinner.

What he really meant:

“The short sleeves imply that he does not rely on tricks to hide any dubious bowling action. That’s a rarity in today’s game.”

What he definitely didn’t:

 “How about a doosra, mate?”
