Leach chickened out to be honest. He had many balls he could have hit and left it to a 40 year old that doesn't have the reflex or ability to pick the ball from the hand anymore.

We played pretty bad cricket the first innings but unbelievable comeback. We were destined to win I suppose despite making so many errors.
In fairness if you don't have the game to play the cross-batted shots properly then it is genuinely close to impossible to score runs safely against that sort of bowling plan.

What do you do with Wagner now? Let him retire on the win or keep playing when he's clearly past his best?

Yeah but Leach had 6 balls and he had been there for a long time. He should have gone for it. You see the bazzball doesn't come to head when the pressure is on. Then it is a retreat. They should have been way more courageous.
