, Australia vowed to take a more proactive strategy with the bat only to overcorrect to crumble from 1-65 to be all out for 113. It included a crushing hour where they lost 8-28 in 74 balls.Hayden, who used the sweep with great effect in his coming of age tour in the fabled 2001 series, was critical of Australia’s use of the horizontal bat shot on a pitch where the ball stayed low. He said there was a fine line between being positive and “reckless”.
“It was panicky, frenetic batting. No one got in there and tried to stem the flow with some good defensive cricket. They were getting out playing sweep shots, reverse sweeps, playing shots to just about every ball. You just can’t get away with that on that sort of track.” “I’d rather be high tempo than low tempo though, to be honest, if those wickets are being difficult but maybe the method went a little bit away from what we planned to do at times.
