The OFFER - ketchim - 01-07-2016
"We were willing to give them 70 overs on a day-five wicket and we were going to go after the runs.
370 off 70 overs is quite a lot of runs, I think that is fair game for both teams,
as I said it was just disappointing that they weren't willing to come to the party."

"He [Smith] came to us and made an offer, I just went back to the team and we thought at this stage
of our development it wasn't the best thing for us," Jason Holder said.
"We had [Denesh] Ramdin who was scoring well and looking well, so just give him the encouragement
to go out there and build an innings and build some confidence.
Re: The OFFER - ketchim - 01-07-2016
"We set out at the beginning of the series to bat 90 overs each time we batted
and get past the 300 mark.
That was one of the things that we wanted to achieve today and we achieved that.
It was a team vote, team decision."

Australia declaring their first innings at 0 for 0 then offering scoring opportunities to the visitors.
Smith said the coach Darren Lehmann had checked the ICC playing conditions
and code of conduct before making the offer.

Captaincy in cricket, often goes to the best or the most senior player in the team, not the best leader in the team.
