Totally agree. Hard to second guess the reasons, but it appeared to me that bringing on Ingram was done with with an eye to filling the 20 overs. But that just shouldn't have been an issue, they were 8 down and we just needed to go in for the kill.

It was a decision that should have taken milliseconds if even thought about at all. 2 lads have reduced them to 8 down in a flash, just keep the ball with them .
