The ball he got out to today was the widest of those and there is an argument that a few of the others were too close to do so. It was the execution that was wrong and he should have thrown the kitchen sink at it.
It's all very well KP saying that the Aussies went too quickly to Plan B - but how many balls have beaten the bat today or have we seen false shots hit in the air? Instead of 74 we would probably be well over 100 but for the boundary riders. The singles are there but for every ball that pierces a ringed field it is a boundary.

Very passive from the Aussies at the moment, as if it was 5pm with England 280-3

“To be fair, it's hard to hear an edge when the whole side is 75 yards away on the boundary.”
