The match ended in a draw with Queensland only able to dismiss three Victorians. A huge spell from Mitchell Swepson with barely a break and some off-spin from Gurinder Sandhu – who has got wickets with the slower deliveries before – wasn’t enough.
Yes, but that is the last over or two. It wasn't like that for the whole innings. The real question is was the declaration too late(yes) and did Sweppo not bowl well enough(Yes again, he is rusty and you can see it), not the field setting.
So you're saying that my statement is completely correct? I counted from the scenes in the video and there was at least one delivery when the bowler was the furthest from the bat.

It was a little late, but the wicket was decent to bat on so you can understand it

Would it help if another word was used? Weird, uncommon, unusual, interesting?

I don't understand the strong criticism of piersons declaration in the press, seemed very reasonable to me

There was a deep square leg for most of those overs so that is not true. Right at the end they all came in.

Why? If the batsmen aren't playing shots and the fielding team is trying to take wickets, there's nothing absurd about that at all.

When the further fielder from the ball is the bowler, that's absurd.

And this was considered absurd because?
