Good read.

The use of the night-watchman is predictable by certain captains/coaches. Australia will clearly send Nathan Lyon out with anything less than 10 overs remaining. It's a sound strategy when the momentum is with the bowling side. Often the defensive tailender is good enough to keep the straight deliveries out; however not good enough to edge the rest.
