Poor tbh. Should make more with six in hand.

Too much moving around the place at the end. Stand still and hoick the ****ing thing.

I'll say. Both feet prancing around the place, poking at the ball as if trying to hit a pool shot...

Definite underutilisation. When you have three-four bats going at a run a ball or worse, and you have a guy in the sheds who mistimed 70 off 50 two weeks back...

Dussey has always been a pain for us, when was the last time he played a useful innings?

Can only recall a 60/80 odd he made in SA a couple of years ago in which we lost anyway (or was that the other brother :dry:).

So according to the formula, ???/4 = correct utilisation of resources?
Well it's hard to say, but I reckon you should probably be clearing 180. The way Dave Hussey and Cameron White (and even Warner to an extent for part of his innings) played given what Australia had in the sheds and the overs left was nothing short of ridiculous. Fair enough if you're not seeing it well or can't time it for whatever reason, but at least have a go - worst thing to happen would be someone else coming in, which is still a much better result than pushing singles around until the last over.

Yeah exactly, this is t20 ffs, you've got to be inventive at all costs. Should have got Smith in earlier.

Yeah was ridiculous. Think the first ball Dussey actually tried to hit a boundary off was the six, then he got out next ball with three overs left forcing the new man to try and hit out from ball one, which is pretty hard to do. It's dire.
