Scapegoats so the favourites can go through unnoticed
*edit* now BJ comments how hard the pitch is to bat on when talking about Warner
Smith’s dismissal was the worst. Him and Warner looked comfortable out there and didn’t need to do anything silly to that bowling.
Maxwell’s dismissal was atrocious but I expect that from him against the quicks, he just isn’t good enough. One of Warner or Finch needed to go on and make a big ton.
If Amir bowl like that on this pitch I have great faith that Starc and Cummins can do better
