    @nzzp unless you're a tail ender who just doesn't care about good or bad deliveries and takes a consistent slog approach!

    Chance for some Nicholls redemption? ...just not possible surely?

    Well I’m certainly liking his strike rate so far, KW is channeling his inner Boycott at the other end

      @MN5 Im ok with Kane holding an end, we could still collapse and we want a draw at minimum lol

      Im also ok with Nicholls though having a go.

        Yes it wasn’t a criticism.

        Who am I to have a go at our GOAT ?

          looks like we are going to have a go at it, quite a few runs to get though

            This has the feel of an ODI now where the aim just has to be to take it deep and not worry too much about run rate. 144 off 22 is pretty doable as long as we keep our heads and play positively but not recklessly.

              @Cyclops Pacing this pretty well if we get all the overs.

              We'll likely need 75-80 off the last 10 with wickets in hand.

              Mitch hits a six while I'm typing and makes my estimate look instantly pessimistic.

                Mitch has decided to go by the looks of things - 15 off the over and we need 78 off 12.

                  35 off the last 3 overs - we need 58 from the final 10.

                  Light? Rain? Wickets? Any of these going to stop us?

                      @No-Quarter Couple of cheap overs and Mitch Jr.s wicket and suddenly it's looking steeper.

                          Surely this is the one time you promote Southee.

                          If he fails just shut up shop

                            @KiwiMurph Bracewell in.

                            44 off 6 overs.

                            I think you can keep going hard till 8 down as long as Kane is still there and our last two only need to negotiate a dozen balls.

                              @Chris-B

                              Once the target is down to about 30 or so I think the non-Kane batsman probably goes for it. At that point a couple of boundaries are decisive.

                                Not watching so can't see the field but if it's back these two working ones and twos get there. Maybe that's the plan until the field is forced to come in and then the non-Kane batter goes over the top.

                                  If Bracewell could hit the ball it would help.

                                      ...and then breaks the shackles.

                                      20 to win from 3 overs.
