I'm starting to get flashbacks for the CWC final vs Australia in Melbourne

Had the exact same thought.

Meek meek shit

[sparky]

Let's be honest, this isn't really going to plan..........

[KiwiMurph]

Finally GP hits one

[Canes4life]

Shot Glen.

[canefan]

Down the ground is Mitch Jr's shot. He seems a shadow of himself right now

[Gunner]

Glen Phillips says hello.

Where did that come from?

We haven’t tried to hit it off the block for the last 80 odd balls… then that.

Just playing on his natural instincts. Need more of that.

[canefan]

Mitch has scored 29 off 54. Ugh

[canefan]

What is a defendable score on this ground?

250 wasn't enough for Aussie in the semi

According to Google 285 is the highest successful run chase on this ground

[No Quarter]

The plan now has to be for Mitchell and Phillips to try and bat another 10 overs, even if it's for 40 or so runs. Then we aim for 10 an over for the last 10 to get us to around 280. Then it's all up to our spinners to spin us home like they did in India recently.

Looking into the crowd, it doesn't feel like a home game for India....

Probabbly be more Kiwi's in the crowd if the game was actually in India.

[canefan]

Mitch is trying to bat us out of the final. FFS man, can't you get some singles.....?

[KiwiMurph]

Absolutely magnificent bowling.

[Canes4life]

Lovely fast hands by Phillips.

[Gunner]

If these two are still in with 10 overs to go we are still a chance.

I think we are writing off the significance of Mitchell’s innings far too early at this stage. If he goes cheaply or within the next 8 overs we are proper fucked.

Mitchell has the ability to make up the runs, the worry for us is that he isn’t in form atm.
