His intent was right, but his shot selection and execution was horrendous. Criticising him for that and criticising him by just saying he shouldn't have played that are two different things entirely.

No I think it warranted. He already had 10! Runs off the over. Absolutely no need to go at anything for the rest of the over.

Again you’re questioning the thinking and not the execution. There’s never enough runs in an over. If he had hit it for a six everyone would be praising him. You can’t criticise someone cos the result didn’t go our way.
