T20 World Cup

@Bovidae Nearly snuck a decent second - the wide and the misfield made it more expensive than desired.

[Chris B.]

Need some wickets - run rate currently controlled, but that will change quickly if we can't make inroads.

[Bovidae]

@Chris-B But still one over too many!

[Chris B.]

Neesh gets smoked in his third - 18 off it.

[Chris B.]

@Bovidae 45/0 off the fifth bowler - bowling the easy overs.

[Chris B.]

Nice - Duffy finally gets Atal.

Badly needed.

Need a couple more - including Gulbadin!

[Chris B.]

Good from Satnav!

This surprises no one.

Neesh should be filed under "break glass and let him bowl only when everyone else has fallen over"

[Chris B.]

Annoyingly one of Duffy or Ferg will only bowl three overs.

The Rachin ploy sort of worked. Henry then gets another - late but helpful!

[MN5]

Kept them well under 200, that's solid.

Gettable total providing they handle the spin and someone goes big.

[Chris B.]

Worries me that Santner was our most economical and the Afghans are spin heavy.

Pitch didn't appear to have too many demons.

Looked like a nicely paced innings - our inability to pick up regular wickets obviously allowed them to score mor freely than desired.

Seifert and Allen are one of the best opening combos in the tournament. A lot will depend on the stsrt they provide.

Apparently we have never chased down a score over 17o at a T20 World cup, today will be a good day to make history!

No shortage of batting.

I wonder where Mitch will bat ? of late he's been 5/6, I reckon he needs to come in earlier. It's not like he's tuckered out from bowling.

Will be 5/6. Probably six I'd reckon.

Pushing more on Phillips at four.

[Chris B.]

My optimism is somewhat diminished!

[Donsteppa]

The "guns" for hire failing when it counts as usual. Neesham with the ball and now Allen with the bat.

[Chris B.]

FFS!!!

[Donsteppa]

Let's hope for a big one from Siefert now, much needed.

[Chris B.]

Not sure Phillips is the guy to be at four in this situation.
