“I think a lot of people probably wrote us off, and to be honest, we might have as well after losing a wicket first ball. But having Wildermuth at the other end was massive. I’ll definitely be sharing this with him, he deserves probably half of it, maybe more,” added Renshaw.
“That never-say-die attitude made all the difference. It was one of those strange ones (partnership) where we didn’t talk too much,” said Matt Renshaw.
