In T20 cricket, acquiring good luck is half the skill to which you need to succeed. No one has ever scored centuries in the short format, or likely any format for that matter, without mistiming one or two, it doesn’t need to be flawless. But it should be recognised.
Kiran Carlson’s scintillating century against Somerset last Friday in a much-needed seven-wicket win optimised T20 batting.
Having scored 18 of his first 33 runs from edges through deep third and a six over the keeper inside the powerplay, there was a sense he could be removed every ball yet sometimes something can click to make you unstoppable.
His next 76 runs from the 28 balls that followed were faultless. And it would take a perceptive, highly critical, or unrealistic observer to say it was not a good T20 innings, despite being founded on fortune.
