I agree, there is no way we set less than 400. I think the goal will be an hour tonght and a full day tomorrow if we can get the runs in time.
Yesterday cost us our best chance of winning.
It was an okay chase but Overton needed to come in ahead of Ross. I thought we lost the game in a 3 to 4 over period where we couldn't hit big.
I thought our bowling lost it. Not having a second "crunch over' bowler has cost us again.
I loved how in the interview post days play Khawaja had to tell us all how long and how well he has knows Kholi. There are a few exceptions but this Australia team really want to be liked by him.
A few saying it was great leadership to defuse the siituation but I thought it was pathetic. I...
Its what we expected but it is far to soft. You can't do that in Cricket. More than any other sport kids copy what they see on the Cricket field. Yesterday proved it's a minor offence.
Still everyone wants to be friends with Kholi, no one wants to upset him.
He won't be but he should be. That was deliberate.
I sound like an old man but that kind of thing flows down to junior and local level cricket and that's where it gets out of hand.
Thornton is definitely better in the first ten overs. I wouldn't bowl him in the power play or finals overs.
We might make a change to try something different on Friday. Maybe one of Doggett, Buckingham or Haskett for Thornton.
Pope has been okay. The advantage of Pope is he can bat in the top...
Great over by Scott. I thought all his overs were well bowled.
We probably didn't deserve to win but it feels like the second game this year that we lost from a winning position in the field. I think it might be part poor captaincy / coaching and part personnel.
I said this pre tournament I don't know who our second 'crunch' over bowler is beside Overton. Maybe it's going to be Scott but given he is a top up player I don't think that was ever the plan.
Well played McSweeny.
We lost it with the last Thornton over. We should have defended that given their batting lineup. That's two we have lost so far that we should of won.
Good bowling by Scott.
Yeah they are in the studio, they should have a wider screen shot so they can see where the fielders are. We keep getting told they have acess to better vision than we do.
I am glad you understand the local replacement rules. Very confusing.
I see Tom Andrews got picked up by the Thunder.
Harry Manenti is listed as an all rounder but is he more of a batsman or bowler?
The scoreboard had him as a sub all night but they are not as accurate as they used to be. He hasn't been named for tomorrows game.
Harry Menenti has been signed as a top up player, I guess for Allen? So that's Scott, Haskett and Manenti for Head, Carey and Allen I think.
