Well, after an innings of 4 not out yesterday, his average has 'improved' to 2.26.
The boundary that he hit was an attempt to leather the ball through the covers. Somewhat predictably, the ball ended up flying (albeit along the ground) between point and gully, just backward of square. The favourite Martin scoring zone, I imagine.
Seriously though, Martin looked in form. He kept out a whole over of Maharoof. Why Jimmy Franklin decided he needed to hit Murali down Cambridge Terrace to bring up his fifty, I'll never know.
