Don't think Williamson choked at all; righted the ship, as he has to do basically every game, when McCullum swung out.
McCullum's after match comment was interesting. He basically said that why bother changing the way anyone is playing? If one or two fail then there is always someone who steps up. If it comes off early, you already take the opposition out of the game. Stay reckless and aggressive fellas!!
Old fashioned this.
McCullum is no fool, if he thought that he was the only top tier batsman in the team I think we'd see him play a bit more conservatively. But it's a very balanced team and any of the top order batsman have the ability to pick up the slack if a few players get out cheaply at the top. McCullum playing the way he does is a risk, but it's a calculated risk, and it's clearly working.
