We need to get Marsh out. He's the one who could do a Conway innings.

He's not far off his best score.

Which is 39, cos he's Mitch Marsh and he's not that good.

Martin Guptill, specialist fielder.

Well well well. Aussie mini collapse.

Quite a shellacking now.
Benefit of the doubt after a fortnight quarantine but I've been surprised at how the Aussies have just batted and bowled like they were back at Manuka Oval. Haven't displayed much nous, but they'll get better i presume.

Ish has impressed me today. Good control of many variations.

Man Conway's innings just looks better and better. I was a bit worried when we were able to finish so strongly that the pitch was flattening out but turns out that it's just the benefit of being good at cricket fundamentals.

Mokey

Ish has bowled really well tonight.

Bowled some long hops for wickets too. Figures a little flattering

I really, really want to see Conway in the test team somehow, problem is we're rather settled at 3/4/5........

I don't want a great like Rossco to retire, but when he does we have an absolute Taylor made replacement.

Destroyed.

Definitely a bit of pressure on @NTA s favourite all rounder Mitch Marsh to get a few runs

Was there cricket on?

So that was my first T20 live, at any level. What a weird game. It kind of felt like we got to 180 without any fireworks whatsoever. Maybe I'm used to watching the BBL and maybe this game was an outlier with minimal fours and sixes with lots of twos run, but our innings until the very end was just a bit 'blah'.

Great innings from Conway. Runs from him kind of seem inevitable at the moment, and hand on heart that's how I felt last night once Kane got out. So to get so close to a century wasn't a great surprise, and it was a helluva shame he didn't get the fairytale finish. Santner should have run!

Good win to start the series.

Watching an interview with Conway on the TV news tonight he said:

"Mitch Santner said to me, 'bro, we're running two no matter what', and I think realistically I hit it straight to the guy, so I was never getting back."

Yep, if they'd tried for the second I don't think he'd have even been in the frame.
