It was the part time spinner with the uninjured fingers. Was it a mistake to select a retired Mo, hindsight suggests it was, because of the hand injury. I doubt the alternative would have suffered the same.

However, we shouldn't down play the missed catches and stumpings. Mistakes do indeed happen in games due to pressure, fatigue etc. Both sides were under pressure for long periods, both will have been fatigued now how many simple chances did the Australians put down or miss over the 5 days? And how did that compare to England?

The costliness of those mistakes in a game of fine lines between two great , talented sides dwarfs the runs given away by avoidable ill discipline.

It was indeed a great game of cricket, I thoroughly enjoyed the bits I saw, listened to.
