T20 World Cup 2021

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

@nzzp ironically that's why I had high hopes for this one - jamming two wins at the business end of this one without that unbalanced team selection coming back to bite us.
I missed Santner's bowling earlier, did anyone see enough to figure out why he bowled only one over?

Comms seemed to infer it was because they didn't want to bowl him to left handers.
I was asleep, so no idea really

I wonder if teams overthink that stuff at times, if the alternative is an over from Philips
Looks like this pair have decided that they have to throw the kitchen sink at it now. Nice six to Conway.

we haven't put away the bad balls.
And that's probably going to cost us the game. 2-3 sixes so far, and this is a different game; need 9s not 11s from here

Yep, Mitchell has particularly struggled with his timing.
