Whatever that is: 33 ball 30 or 34 ball 30, was perfectly played according to the pitch situation. The pitch was slow. Hitting was supposed to be reserved for the end, as Takwale and Patel demonstrated. Look what happened to the great Yusuf Pathan in the top order.
As for saying that his slow innings brought pressure on lower order, please explain what was Uthappa's 8 ball 3, Smith's 7 ball 8 etc?
I agree the start was a bit slow, but wasn't a disaster as you guys are making it out to be.
