Also, I am not sure if I find it more amusing, or cringey, that the TMO was effectively calling the Bangler a liar.
TBF - The Bangle may not have known that he was touching it, those advertising triangle things are very flimsy and he is in cricket boots. He is entitled to claim it. It is up to the officials to decide after that.

Yeah, I realise that. He'd certainly lifted his foot a bit before looking down and deciding/claiming it was a clean catch.

Conway keeping?
Yes, so we have found our backup keeper for the WC and maybe even our top keeper as I think we have many better batting options than Seifert.
Nice to see Chapman getting another bowl, hope we start to use him more often.

And Conway survives a lazy run.
Conway is the new Ross Taylor

Very entertaining - batting like they've decided 220 is a par score.
... and planning on self destructing on the way...

Taking the field with Conway wicket keeping is not a good strategy. He's not got the technique or finesse. I was sure that Phillips kept for a couple of CPL seasons - not sure why he doesn't do it because Conway looked like a real part timer.
Think the rain will scupper my commentators curse though.
Bangles putting in their usual pea hearted performance. I know the limitations of the Italy of world cricket but for decades I've watched these guys phone it in in NZ. Then they're a different team at home. I think they only try when they've got local fans to answer directly to. Tours are for bank, home is for avoiding effigies.

To paraphrase Jeff Thomson ( I think ) the BCs could turn up pissed and beat these guys. Complete waste of time

To be clear though, I do appreciate them coming, now and the future - any cricket is better than none. There's a part of me that wants the bangles to do well, but after 21 years with the big boys, it's all very Italian Rugby
