We are playing this very well.

Obviously the Head wicket was a bad moment but other than that we’re doing exactly what we need to.

No need to swing the bat at this point. Just be patient, protect the wicket, put the bad balls away and rotate the strike.

Preserving wickets the number one objective.

2-3 runs per over great if we do that. We can accelerate if we have guys left in the shed. Just no wickets.

I don’t think the difference is as great as you’d believe. Some all time greats out there for both sides.

I’d rather face early to mid 130s than 145k plus consistently swinging.

 

[JOELY]

That felt like it was in the air slow motion. Heart in mouth thinking there was a fielder there.

 

[Bedi]

reckon all our hearts soared with the trajectory of that raised shot

 

[stinger05]

Taking momentum into the break don’t slow down Greeny!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Erasmus is ordering the tray

 

[ams4crows]

Shot Green!!

 

[Some Idiot]

Great batsmanship from Green, make them second guess their field for a change

 

[Cap]

101 to win

 

[k31th]

Nicely took advantage of the half volley with almost zero risk good shot Green

 

[Corkintheocean]

With the trend of this match as soon as it looks we are getting parity or ahead in the match we lose a wicket, so by that trend we will probably lose one before tea.

 

[swanssince2002]

Ughh cant help but think of the game in Delhi earlier this year where we kept getting out trying to sweep all the time.

Just dont miss a straight one against spin...

 

[Westend]

Keep the ball on the ******* ground mate.

No one there it was a good shot

 

[Bedi]

remaining overs: 41

 

[Westy Bogan]

Bookies have us 1.67

 

[nylexbandit]

The commentary has been worse than usual at giving a clue as to whether a ball is boundary / out / nowhere

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Think Broad will come back soon. He's the real danger man this match.

Has looked unplayable this innnings.

 

[showusyacunningt]

Tea coming at a bad time. In a rhythm here

 

[Zevon]

Loved that positivity from Green there

 

[Kappa]

He said he missed some short balls, but hey let’s knock a guy who’s 53 not out and letting Green grow into his innings. Stop being a peanut.

Yeah, so he's saying what most ppl here are saying. Why are you calling Ricky Ponting a peanut? I think he understands the game better than you.

 

[1990crow]

100 to go

 

[Southerntakeover]

Where's Taylor, need someone to tell me if we lack intent and should up the run rate

 

[Borisdog]

Do not treat Root easily.

He’s a cunning prick.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

No one there it was a good shot

It was a cracking shot.

Would’ve been just as good along the ground.
