Sri Lanka too - Herath 7 overs makes little sense given how bad their other seamers are generally, but particularly ineffective here.

Australia had more than enough bowling options to get Dussey through first and leave Doherty some later overs (you try and leave yourself the option of bowling both their 10 overs each - which could be the difference here). Australia's death bowling seems to be Christian + whichever seamer isn't bowling pies today + lucky dip.

You can't say the spinners have been underbowled when they've bowled 17 overs so far in this innings.

Every time I've ever seen Christian bowl at the death at any level of cricket he's just bowled full tosses repeatedly.
