    I believe they call that giving up. Imagine if a Pakistan player did that?

    Djokovic does some ridiculous things to stay in rallies.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Well...I mean it was obviously different in the Pakistan case but if they did stop chasing for balls heading to the boundary etc. then there would be a big fuss about it.

    Even though I like my betting, I don't think Murray has a duty to play to his best. Obviously he feels that conserving energy is the best way. Not sure I agree but ultimately I think - in any sport - if a player wants to give up, they should be allowed to do so.

    It doesn't make any sense because it surely means conserved energy for his opponent too. Just sounds like excuses to me.
