Not wasting man. They are giving rest to their bowlers. Cummins and starc will not play not match of they bowl. 

 

But this is a very very long break.

Starc has bowled a grand total of 10 overs out of 80 overs

You should get batsmen out as soon as they are new to crease. You cannot allow them to settle down by using part timers.

The difference between the two teams in this series has been brains.

What a gun decision by Nitin Menon

[vvvslaxman]

This is where webster would have been handy.  Inglis was a waste of space

[ravishingravi]

Basically the ideology was bazzball cost England this series. Blame has to fall Mcullum. More than Stokes.

Don't think i have the patience to watch this through.

Bazball costed the India series as well. Their excuse was, before Bazball they were losing series against tier 2 teams as well.

[Lord]

Without so called Bazball they could have chased down the target

[MK55]

What a horrendous decision lol

[kosingh]

Lol umpiring...

[Tillu]

Worst call by Nitin Menon. That was completely going down leg and he gave that out.

[MK55]

50 odd runs and Aus will be in big trouble

We  had our own brainfarts in Eng series. We gifted wickets to toothless Bashir then  a couple of needless run outs. Jaiswals stupid shot while chasing 191

You should attack the batsmen when they are new to crease. They wasted it.
