Definitely strange criticism, some saying he was batting slow when he was 40 from 70.Why is everyone in this thread ripping into Labs? The only guy holding onto his wicket (even with a drop in the 40s, thats 20 better than anyone else).
Shielding Cummins from Bumrah is 100% correct strategy, as he has taken out our entire middle order. Labs has his eye in the best, so better he take strike momentarily to ensure Cummins does not face him early.
Losing a few runs, but keeping Cummins in - is 100% the go. Particularly as we're not really aiming for 350 now, with 250+ really our best shot now.
