Anyone know why Short wasn't given a 4th over to bowl... After Khan took 2 wickets, the last 4 had been taken by the spinners, yet we then bowled f or 5 overs of poor pace, which cost us another 40+ runs. Could have only been chasing 105 if Short had the next over after Khan took the 2 wickets.
2/14 off 3 overs but lets bowl Stanlake out @12.5runs an over and Nesser @10 an over... perplexing.
I have always wondered why there is a hesitancy to bowl spinners at the death. If spin can be economical at the start and middle of an innings, why can't it work in the death overs ?
Especially considering that slower bowling is the go to strategy for most at this time in the innings.
