[ACT Crusader]

You’ve gotta love a batter that goes for a golden, as he’s walking off gives advice to the new batsman

"Get the other guy on strike"?

[KiwiMurph]

This is like a reversal of the last game where the chasing team stumbles a little at the end but does it easy really.

[ACT Crusader]

[ACT Crusader]

Biggest hit of the night.

[KiwiMurph]

Pakistan deserved winners.

Bugger

Another short ball when 90% of them have been dispatched to the boundary.

[Donsteppa]

A scorecard that makes the game look closer than it was for much of it.

Definition of insanity?

[Gunner]

Can only assume the pitch evened out and got quicker with a bit of dew after the sun buggered off?

What other explanation is there to the lack of slower balls or variations, especially after Phillips made a point of it in his interview.

Ah well, bring on Boxing Day and the real cricket.

Yeah, I thought we'd defend that fairly easily.

Good thing I don't bet on sports eh

Comms said as much, backed up in an on field in game interview with one of the BCs. The pitch lost all it's variable bounce

I was so, so tempted to put a wee bet on Pakistan after your massive jinx-y comment, but was just too damned lazy.

I set it up for you, but you didn't take the bait?

We did not bowl well. They cruised it in the end

[mariner4life]
