Yes, but they don’t bat stupidly, they just make the most of the test match styled field setting, we only have Warner, Smith and Head that take the aerial route on a bad ball, if the field is up and it’s a shit ball, even a mis-hit will clear the infield
The point I’m trying to make is keep the fields up to build pressure and keep fielders in catching positions, mistakes will be made.
I remember an article on Ian Healy in one of the first editions of Inside Sport in the 90s
Biggest difference between test and one day cricket play a streaky shot in test cricket you get out or hit a four, you’re still on strike facing the bowler.
False stroke in in Test cricket you get a single and up the other end.
I only used to buy Inside Spirt for the articles…
Just felt we went too defensive too early
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
