More of a daft shot, from Bailey tbh although given how well he'd played up to that point I think its forgiveable.

Also one of the adverts just told me I can trip the light fantastic in the capital #awkward.

I thought the first ball was a pretty good slower one.
It was obviously a deliberate slower ball; I'm just not convinced that he decided to bowl a long hop on purpose. I know it's a common tactic and I know he did it later on in the over too (and that was deliberate) but just watching him bowl there I don't think he actually had any control over his length for the first ball at all. Just a gut feel more than anything else I guess.

So what are the rules regarding which team bats first? Is it just the team who just finished batting or is it a toss?

Super over. How absurd. Ugh. Watson. When he's supposedly one of our go-to batsman you know you're in trouble. I don't understand Australia's tactics though. Why wouldn't Bailey bat when he clearly has his eye in.

Oh come on, I know Bailey played a good innings but surely Hussey is the man to come out when there's only one ball remaining.
