Just didn't know the rule he says.

Cricket: Tame ending as Otago chooses to play it safe | Otago Daily Times Online News : Otago, South Island, New Zealand & International News

Quote:
With seven batsmen back in the dressing room and 50 runs still required, the home side ran out of conviction.

It was a disappointing finish to a game which promised drama to the end but Otago coach Vaughn Johnson was unapologetic.

"I had a debutant and 18-year-old left to bat and I didn't think we had the firepower at that stage to bring it home," Johnson said.

"I thought we played a lot of cricket in this game and I didn't want to lose the game.

"We gave it a decent crack until we were seven down and decided that was it."
But...it was Canterbury though, who won't be in title contention. Should always go for the win against the likely cellar dweller until you're all out tbh.
