Cover Drive weakness:-
By this time Australia had identified a weakness in the Master Blaster's Game.
The Master loved to play the cover drive.
While playing this....due to lack of timing he was getting caught behind.

Pressure:-
6 innings of very low score.
The massive pressure on the shoulders of the champion batsman was telling.
However, the champion batsman did not buckle under pressure.
Instead, he adapted his game and what came was something memorable.
