Hadlee-Chappell ODI 1.0 + 2.0 + dead rubber

What is the fascination with Bracewell? I just don't see the attraction. Bloody journeyman at best

[MN5]

If this thread doesn’t get @Virgil out of hibernation nothing will

[Donsteppa]

Without M. Bracewell we'd have lost both an historic first game and an historic first series to Ireland in 2022 in cricket as well as in rugby... I think some of you are channeling your appreciation for D. Bracewell for this one

3 overs of Bracewell might be enough

Yep, to be fair I'd be bowling Neesham at this stage instead of a second spinner, but Bracewell's still not a bad selection

And Lochie nearly gets an inside edge onto the stumps, that instead scuttles away for four.

[canefan]

I can't relax right now. These two look far too comfortable. Bring Boult on to try and finish these guys off. This is starting to feel like the English tour again

[MajorStokes]

Completely not joking I still have Oz as favourites heres. And have just bet accordingly.

[Donsteppa]

Don't think this pitch will suit Santner as much either. Neesham first, maybe, maybe even D Mitchell for pace that may not quite kick on on this pitch.

[canefan]

We've missed our chance. We are going to lose this game. Fucken BCs. The RR is under 5. If we don't get these next 2 or 3 out soon it's going to be over for us

[Donsteppa]

Just need one of those from the Neesh to pop up to a short mid wicket or cover.

I've upvoted for agreement ... but booooo

[canefan]

Kane has lost it. Far too timid. These two are taking the game away from us. And we've helped them do it

[booboo]

Goddamn fuck it. Do I have to go to bed?

A man has to do ...

[canefan]

Mitch is about as threatening as a Teddy bear

[canefan]

We are leaking runs goddammit. It's falling apart

[No Quarter]

We've waited far too long to give Boult another crack

[booboo]

Fuck this. Am off to bed.

Kane's tactics have been poor. Did he forget we are defending a low score? At last Boult is back into the attack and almost gets a wicket first ball

[Donsteppa]

Hard to blame too much on Kane’s bowling choices, given only his opening bowlers have fronted with the ball tonight.

He didn't bowl them long enough. He's wasted the juicyness of the ball on the spinners
