Farming the strike with a top order batsman and tail ender, not when the guy at the other end is also one of the worlds best bats, particularly at T20.

If it had been the other way around they'd have heard you screeching about the disrespect of Smith in London.
The worlds oldest fossil was discovered in Australia, they named it Rupert Murdoch.

I wouldn't call it disrespect just call it dumb. If Babar did it to Marnus or Weatherald (as long as they weren't striking like Babar on the night) that would be fine for Babar to do it.

In other words, why should I continue to cop all the effing flack?

In short:

Harry Brook has admitted he was not the only England player present when he was hit by a nightclub bouncer in Wellington during a tour of New Zealand late last year.

England white-ball captain Brook was fined $60,000 for his part in the incident, but has now said he regretted lying in previous comments to protect teammates who were also there.

Tongue come out and was bowler of the series (for Poms) & Bethell scored a century from limited opportunities, so I'll give Brook some credit at least in that he picked good candidates to cover for.
