THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Aussies seem to have paid a heavy price in the second T20I for dropping left-arm seamer Jason Behrendorff - who was impressive in the first game - but their stand-in head coach Andre Borovec termed it a "strategic decision".
"No injury concerns for Jason. One of the considerations today was playing two spin options. We thought it would be a good attacking option for us. So we decided to structure our bowling around that. I had a great conversation with Jason on how good his bowling was in the Vizag T20. It was one of his better bowling performances for Australia. So it was a really tough decision (to drop him)," Borovec clarified.
