Sensible thing to do was to take the single and be sure of a tie and then try to get the quick single off the final ball

Senseless move by miller so glad he miss the ball and so glad the other guy was run out .

At first I thought it was the "right" call as he was in the zone and hitting the ball cleanly... but indeed, it was a guaranteed tie..... rather than a potential win or loss....
Upon reflection, a tie is better than the potential chance of winning or losing.......
tough pill to swallow......

Funny how the commentary team said, before the penultimate ball is blowed, "Miller can't afford a single" and then when he didn't take the single, "ohhh, he sends Kuldeep back. Dot ball for GT. Wow, Miller will need two off one ball," they sound surprised........

Prasidh to Miller, no run
ohhh, he sends Kuldeep back. Dot ball for GT. Wow, Miller will need two off one ball. Short ball, and he pulled from middle to deep-backward square leg
2 off 2. Miller can't afford a single.
