Bowling at the death in professional Twenty20 cricket requires nerves of steel, clarity of thought, calmness under intense pressure and a high degree of skill.
All those qualities are particularly required at a ground like Taunton where the pitches are fast and true, the boundaries relatively short and the outfield often lightning quick.
Such has been the development in batting power and the increased number of shots employed since T20 was first introduced that the slightest stray in line or length can result in the ball soaring over the ropes.
