So finally caught up with the highlights. Riyad looks to be in a good place mentally. Doesn't get shaken up. Mash needs to stop worrying about his knees and play straight. The difference in power was so obvious. Our boundaries were immaculate pieces of timing and bat speed - mostly along the ground. Sixes were all cross batted. The Aussie boundaries were mostly straight batted shots of immense power. No way we can win that game - so best to mix the length and line like Riyad did by going around the wicket. Also Rasel bowled too many leg-side deliveries.
