What is a defendable score on this ground?

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.

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.

I don't agree, a slightly higher strike rate would be nice but he's doing exactly what we needed him to do. The game was getting away from us very quickly, he's trying to give us something to bowl at.

I hope you are right

Mitchell is putting so much pressure on Phillips

[canefan]

Lucky Rohit is a fat fucker, he couldn't get up to make that catch

Phillips’ strike rate isn’t that much more than Mitchell’s to be fair.

The foot will go down around 40-42 overs

[Gunner]

India have put down at lot of chances today, not simples catches but you’d expect more to be taken

There’s no excuse for either of them to not turn the strike

[KiwiMurph]

If India could catch this could be a hell of a lot worse

Been a weakness of black cap batting for a long time - too many dot balls

There's plenty of holes in the field, we just prefer to hit it straight to them or block it

Skill issue unfortunately

Varun simply too good. Man of the match stuff.
