He actually slowed down though. Was on 27 (28) at one point.
He was on 32 (34) or something similar though. He slowed down after Australia got into a better position; he essentially batted backwards.

Definitely would've taken his contribution when he came in though.
Fair dos, but I'll wager the slow down came when Voges arrived and started scoring.

Bailey just playing to his partners, IMHO.

Yeah; as Spark always points out - it's not so much the individual strike rates that matter but the partnership run rate. His last 25 runs would've taken 60+ balls though which definitely suggests he should've been giving Voges more strike once Australia got into a better position, even if he wasn't threatening the bowling much himself.

Minor critcisms when you come in at 10/2 and build too good partnerships though; it was a good knock.
