*Official* Australia in Pakistan 2022

Rizwan's batting pretty stupidly here. Why would you sweep that ball in the air. He top edged it too.
he seems to have some concept of self preservation because he has spent periods blocking it out.

i think he just rates himself to be too good for these guys if they bowl poorly, and fair enough.

It's much easier for a batter under pressure to see off a quick bowler than a spinner. That extra bit of time creates indecision. Cummins probably rates the Pakistani tailenders (rightly or wrongly) as having good enough hand/eye to see off Starc and himself, and so has gone in with his spinners. He also probably suspects that they're more likely to have a go at a ball not on the stumps vs the spinners than vs the quicks.
I don’t think this is right tbh. A really good quick is like mixamatosis to tailenders.
