T20 World Cup 2021

Looks like we let England get away a bit too much during the middle period. Need some tight overs now to try and keep the score down.

No idea why Cane experimented with Phillips for. He's a part timer and was always a big risk against the powerful English batsmen, he ended up giving England the momentum back.

Shithouse death bowling by Ish and Milne
Yep, we don't really have any good death bowlers.

To be fair, the bowlers have been the best death bowling unit in the tournament and have done a good job of getting us this far. It will have to be up to our shallow batting line up to get the job done today, it seems

Definitely some curious bowling choices today. That might have been Phillip's first over in the tournament?
I thought Neesh might have bowled two overs at the death. But he's back on at the last over, starting with 0/7... and now a wicket and a boundary...

Yeah, I think that was Phillips first over too.

A grumpy 5am and wide awake reflection. This tournament is reaffirming that the IPL is good entertainment and brilliant for the players bank balances.
But in terms of translating into pressure T20I performances... India were pants in their two big games, and of our three highest paid/profile IPL players; Jamieson hasn't featured all tournament, and Boult and Williamson had unusually below par shifts today.

@donsteppa Philips will need a miracle from here.
We're not even firing a shot.
I actually disagree on IPL - T20 is very random on a game by game basis; it's like baseball. You need a series to figure out which team is better.
Right now, that's not us. This is the performance I feared, nto the one I hoped for
