Great to see Dusty penalized for several unsuccessful fend-offs - even better to see so many unsuccessful fend-offs.
I was fuming at several poor decisions at the time but, on reflection, the umpires were consistent and deserve acknowledgment for a well adjudicated game.
They did miss Dusty’s first fend off which was probably more blatantly holding the ball.
