Sems to happen more to lefties than right-handers for some reason.

The angle - takes the ball away from the left hander making it more difficult to judge than a right arm over delivery to a right hander which normally just comes straight on unless it moves in the air or off the pitch.

88-1 at Lunch, Ravi has done quite well, decent start to the match all in all.

Especially after being invited to have a bat. Seeing as Strauss has said he'd probably have bowled as well, it looks like a good toss to lose.
