Simple as thatHe should have played a shot.
I think he was intending to and it just turned a hell of a lot. He said "i was playing a shot" when querying little wadey for the review
It interesting I suppose . As you've said he clearly misjudged it but when he initially went down the pitch he was intending to play a shot. I guess my point is when you get yourself in a shit position and can't play a shot because you've misjudged it at what point are you deemed to have never had any intention to play one. Its not like he shouldered arms..He didn't play a shot. He padded up with his bat tucked away, realised he'd misjudged the spin, and pretended to poke his bat in the general direction of the ball
