@MN5 a genuine all-rounder.
Almost as much of one as Doug Bracewell.

135/6 and crumbling.
Yup, we've got a really decent bowling unit this summer. Great balance with two swing bowlers, one express pace and two spinners that can put the squeeze on in the middle overs. Not easy for batsmen to settle against us.

Quick bouncer hits the splice of Ashraf's bat going for the hook, gone burger. Been another clinical display in the field.

IMO Bracewell is a batting all-rounder that is yet to fulfill his potential.

Santner either gets smacked for 6 or doesn't concede anything.

Do you think you will have more luck playing Monopoly against Chris Cains or Cluedo against David Bain -

21 off that over.
Have a breather Todd.
Astle should never have been bowling at the death. And he or Munro needs to bowl one more over. I think needing to make up two overs at the death was a too much of a risk, Astle or Munro should have bowled one more over. Probably munro should have bowled a third rather than Boult coming back after Astle got Shoaib Malik.

@cyclops Yeah - there was probably a gamble that we would bowl them out, which hasn't come off.
Ominous for them that their tail is scoring easily, but they have got an attack that can pressure us by taking wickets.
Yeah I get the gamble and I like it but bowling Astle at the death in the power play was only going to go one way. Kane either needed to squeeze in one more over earlier or hold his nerve longer so munro bowled 47/49 or 48/50

Pakistan with slightly more backbone than the Windies, dreadful start to their innings but they've managed to put some runs on the board for their bowlers to set up an interesting chase.
If Munro gets going again it won't be competitive for long, but early wickets and she's all on.

While reminding myself this is the Black Caps we're talking about and trying to keep it real I truly believe we should chase this down without too much trouble.
