Then, there's the other issue. Khawaja went out to a ball that was absolutely short enough to pull caught behind because the ball came off slower than it should have. Any number of balls leaped off a length over the course of the day, and when they did they went quickly. I'm not one for abandoning a game of cricket (I've always found it the utmost of ironies that the worse the batter is the more likely they are to play on a shit-tip of a turf wicket but the better the batter is the more likely the pitches are to be good for batting; plonk them on some of the old, torn up dustbowls in and around Melbourne and let's see how those excellent talents go against test match attacks on the wickets at park level!) but they're a bit lucky the game didn't go a little longer.
If someone was bowling 130+ on those decks I’m sure games would get abandoned pretty quick smart.
