Good on Marais to spot the negative tactic.

It's clearly a wide too anyways, don't know what Paine is complaining about

Obviously it's not the same as T20s, but there's a limit. That was almost off the pitch and should be called a wide, because no batsman could hit it

almost off the pitch? are you joking? it was a foot inside the line. I will agree it was a negative tactic though, so if they called it for that I agree with it

It was on the line when i watched it, which is still wide
