Did you notice that he has lost the swagger he was posturing with in his short innings yesterday?Sure. Clicked on the thread while at work and saw your suggestion that the only possible explanation for Renan not bowling was as a punishment.
Thought it was nonsense. Surely there were more plausible reasons ... such as how expensive he was in the first innings ... until the ball got older.
Next thing I heard he had taken 3 wickets and couldn't resist sorry!

I was just about to post that our leg spinning all rounder was having a great day!

Classic management, call him out for the swaggering, make your point. Then demonstrate that point made its now finished with by tossing him a present.And he's just been promoted to No.3 batsman - some punishment that!

According to TMS McCullum said to Erasmus this morning, 'welcome to last day of the test match' !
I think he wanted the ball to be more scuffed for a leggie.If you had been watching the game when he was batting you would have seen the reason. And I wasn't slagging off his ability only his attitude. My original post was speculating that Stokes didn't bring him on until late to make a point. Or do you have a better reason to explain why he played Leach as the only spinner all morning?

Can't believe they didn't get the job done today. Pretty poor that.
The way we're chasing scores down is absurd. That score, 12 months ago, would have us all shitting it. We'd defend our way to 10-3 from 10 overs and then maybe Root would take us close before we ultimately lost by a fair few. Now we cream it about as if it's a T20 game and then throw on our leg spinner to go and slog it for a bit of fun! 112-2 from 17 overs. Easy stuff.
