It is a fine line when playing the short ball,, you can go from hero and zero very quickly, so shot selection is *****, and something we need to look at, as there is only a certain amount of short stuff you can bowl, before tiring yourself out. If we can get the balance right, it will go a long way to getting us over the finishing line.
Which is exactly what I said. You can attack sensibly and at the right time/shot, just don't throw wickets away because you should be playing Bazball (2nd innings first test?). Bazball is great at the right time.
