The idea that Smith was protecting his tired bowlers is rubbish. They would have ripped through a disconsolate team bereft of confidence and batting under lights with the ball looping around.
Poor captaincy followed by incredibly poor body language in the field.
It's not rubbish. it was close to 80 overs. How do you know how fresh they were? They would not have come out and had the same effect as the English bowlers as they weren't as fresh. You assuming they would've have just gone through them and mopped up the tail. Crap, they would not had the same effect and they could've gone on to make 450 leaving a tricky chase. Like I said, bat well and make more than 138.
