How do you explain

Bowling Reifer and not Green for the final over, just strange to me

How do you explain NOT bringing in the fielders to save singles with 2 runs required from 3 balls????

When you require 2 runs from 3 balls, the fielding side has to either take wickets or make the batsman miss the ball or play it back to the bowler. Have you forgotten about catches in the outfield!!!!

Green has taken real tonk bowling at the death in the past. Plus wet ball and the canny Weise at the wicket made it the right call despite Reifer's disastrous first over

FWIW, I always had an attacking mindset on the cricket field. I would make that call every day of the week and twice on Sundays in that situation, win, lose or draw! cool
