he thought at the very least he'd decrease the number of overs available, once flintoff and the rest had gotten out, also when you are hardpressed defending your wicket with all others falling around you, first priority would be suriving - NOT scoring runs. He DID take the runs on offer, i remember 2 full tosses of warne which he took to the boundary... taking unneccesary risks and thinking of himself would have entailed him charging warne ALA strauss, getting out and leaving englad with NO chance... atleast with Colly's inns Eng had a chance... too bad only flintoff and hoggard can bowl
