This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
He is a world-class player. Kudos to him, for sure. But I guess our plan B is to just be as defensive as possible and try to make him get singles and twos, running at moments. Nothing too extravagant.
I wouldn't say it was deliberate, but it was there in my mind that they had a plan against me,
We thought the wicket would play a little better. The ball kept a bit lower than we expected.
