i haven't read the article so idk if he's been very critical in tone. but there was a case for declaring at lunchtime on Friday and having a longer bowl at them.
TMS commentators were saying so without hindsight and they have played in pressure situations.
OneLessCardigan-
It wasn't hindsight. He tweeted in favour of a declaration at the time, 3 balls after lunch, at 508 for 8. And people in this thread were saying 'why are we still batting'. But we are where we are. There've been so many times that this series has been on a knife edge. No use moaning about what might have been.
And does it really matter if it goes to a draw? The quality of play is the main thing. The entertainment has been off the charts.

Has he even held a cricket bat in a crucial innings, or bowled a ball when needed to make an impact, or owned a captain’s decision in a match.. his 3 year editorial for Wisden is probably stats alone, unless someone can enlighten me..
journalists with opinions based on hindsight can fuck right off, the Telegraph can fuck right off as well.
