Now, why this?

37.6 Hall to Yuvraj, no run, short of length delivery outside the off stump, angling away from the left hander, Yuvraj goes on the backfoot and looks to pull it away, mistimes it straight to the fielder at mid on, does not really get hold of that one on that occasion, he is getting frustrated here.
The ask is below 5 runs an over.

There are 12 more overs to go after this.

The guy at the other end is a decent bat.

The guy at the other end is a pretty good runner between the wickets.

You are not too bad between the wickets yourself.

And you are a pretty decent wielder of the willow yourself.

This is the phase when the opposition will lift itself. See through this period and score at a decent clip and the opposition will wilt. Because of their increased efforts and lack of reward.

So, why the frustration?
