He's not the first bowler to have that attitude, and he won't be the last. They're a bunch of degenerates the lot of them

This innings feels like one of those India innings in the 2016 tour to Aus where the top 4 would pile on the runs for 40 overs and then **** up the finish and end up 30 runs short.

I feel modern teams wait too long before entering slog-mode in the subcontinent
Over here batting against the older ball is harder. If you wait till the 35th-40th over to start going big, you're going to struggle as the ball grips more in the surface and doesn't travel as far. If you get out, you don't leave the new batsmen enough time to get used to the pitch, and this either leads to a phase of slow scoring as they try to adapt, or more wickets as they slog and fail. Either way there is a loss of momentum towards the end of the innings. Entering slog mode earlier helps as the ball is easier to hit, and if you get out you give the new incoming batsmen plenty of time to get their eye in before they need to enter slog mode too.
Plus the top order batsmen do get tired in this sort of climate - they tend to slow down and find it harder to pull off big shots after a certain amount of time at the crease. How long this time is varies for each batsman of course, but in some cases it may be advantageous to enter slog mode earlier in the innings while you still have the energy.
I'd like to see sides who get off to a good start enter slog mode in around the 30th over, instead of looking to keep wickets in hand till the 40th. I feel it would work better

that's a great ball from Pandya, and Warner's on his way

Yea that was definitely a no ball under the new laws. Landing off the pitch, over head height, etc etc.
Umpires showing some leniency to the bowler is perfectly acceptable though. No need to be a hard ass unecessarily. Sometimes it fine to let the players get away with a mistake as long as it has negligible impact on the outcome of the game
