Could understand it (sort of) if you batting middle or middle and leg and hung the bat there

He was Scott BATTAND last nightmal wrote:NIGHTWATCHMAN
on this subject I dont really have an opinion
Last night was prob OK - coz if BOLAND gets out thats the end of the days play
But it did work
Jake Weatherald ends up batting at 3 instead of opening, and made his highest test score batting at 3

Re: The Ashes 25/26
His making a point of trying to be more proactive in his return to the side and rotate the strike more. Do you think his mistaking that for having to have bat on ball and playing nothing shots when he should be leaving????am Bays wrote:Marnus you’re batting on off and you’re hanging your bat on 5th stump line?

I get that that it’s plain to see why he is doing itwhufc wrote:His making a point of trying to be more proactive in his return to the side and rotate the strike more.

Could understand it (sort of) if you batting middle or middle and leg and hung the bat there
But if you adjust your guard to cover that there is no need to hang your bat there as you’ve changed your set up. Change your stance like he did means you can proactively leave that ball
If he was on a more traditional guard and it’s on a 4th stump line you can understand why he played at it.
