I don't know about master stroke but it did seem a much better choice
than doing nothing.
His head is in the wrong place. He shouldn't just be thinking about his
teammate when there was a bigger picture.
I'll guess we'll never know who made the decision. But he has been
given crap strategies this year so far, and much of last
year. Strategies so flawed that common-or-garden spectators were
probably yelling at their TVs.
We do know who made the decision, Lewis did. He was offered a stop,
and he turned it down. TBH, he was offered the stop too late, so the
team was a bit dumb, but at least they were smart enough to agree
to George's master plan, and then execute it correctly.
Both made their own bed.
