No Allen or Phillips?

Been released to the IPL. A bit sad but hopefully with an eye towards the world cup in India and getting them match practice in those conditions rather than a sign of player's priorities.

@Cyclops

Thanks.

Anyone know the commentator alongside Rigor? Quite enjoying his comments.

Oram?

[Gunner]

Latham and Mitchell have seen us to the end of the power play with no further wickets and on track with the run rate.

58/2 from 6

Yeah it was

[KiwiMurph]

@Gunner @Cyclops thanks

[Gunner]

Latham chips it to deep square leg, bit of a nothing shot really.

[Gunner]

Need a big over here, been 4 cheap ones in a row now….

They oblige and take 23 from the 12th over.

Need 81 from 48 now

That no ball that gave the free hit that Chapman hit for six might be the turning point of the innings, gets us back ahead (by a nose) of the chase. Still lots of work to do but that over critical.

[bayimports]

Chapman and Mitchell both now holed out after rescuing our start.. tough ask from here though, firmly favouring SL now

[Gunner]

Wheels are falling off.

Both set batsmen struggled to lift the tempo and are now both out within a couple of overs.

Massive task for the lower order now, to come in and score at 12’s from the word go.

[Gunner]

Neesham is the key now, if he’s there at the end we have a chance. If he gets out, I think we’re screwed.

And as I type, Neesham is out.

That’ll be it folks, we have no batting left.

[bayimports]

and Ravindra steps up and we're back in this lol.. Milne on strike but need 23 from 12

[KiwiMurph]

Get Ravindra into the World Cup ODI squad

[Gunner]

18 from the 18th, great hitting Ravindra.

23 needed from the last 2 overs.

[bayimports]

Milne gets out on last ball of over, Ravindra on strike though 13 runs off last needed

[KiwiMurph]

People give Eden Park shit but it's a cracking ground for limited overs cricket.

[Gunner]

2 wickets in 2 balls.

13 needed from 5 with our bowlers batting…

Who wants to be the hero?
