Ya. only if you got the measure of the opposition bowlers you can do that. Conditions also dictate terms. In this match we essentially batted on day 2 pitch and Kanpur is a flat deck. Not sure we could have done that at chepauk.

Wasn't flat.  Uneven bounce. 

But the need of the hour was the speed the game up for a result, so it was worth it.

Why do we have to call everything using the same suffix or ending that the English or Americans use  ????

 

Hollywood  / Bollywood

 

Barmy Army / Bharat Army 

 

EPL / IPL

 

Bazball / Gamball 

 

Hollywood probably got it's name from the wood of Holly bushes. 

 

Barmy Army rhymes and this makes the name catchy.

 

Baz-ball is a short alliteration. 

 

Not every league has to be called or is called a premier league.

 

We aim to be World leaders now ... but this is basically donning the followers' hat without even realizing it. 

Lack of intelligence, lack of exposure, lack of importance for originality and rampant plagiarism. Apeshitwood, gumball what ever Indians no one will respect copy cats.
