ICC Champions Trophy 2025
-
Mitchell got a little lucky on a couple of heaves, now he’s gone.
-
Geez Bracewell is a nervy runner between the wickets.
-
After an almost perfect innings in the SF, we have run into an Indian spin bowling buzz saw. I can't see us making 250 from here, but it would be a nice (albeit unltimately probably futile) psychological milestone for the chasing team
-
Going to go to bed and hope the result is favourable in the morning. Nothing has given me hope after Kane and Rachin went back into the changeroom.

Pitch doesn't look too bad. We are well short of a par score.
It’s slower than a granny driving to church on a Sunday
-
Bracewell and Mitchell given us something to bowl too.
We have the slower bowlers to make it hard for India.
Bracewell gives us hope. Jadeja brilliant
-
Well they got their 250, but I fear it may not be enough, I thought they could have pushed harder for 280. India are favorites, but we are still right in this and India will be under huge pressure against our spinners as well.

Well 251 is still higher than the average batting first on this pitch. We still have a chance but spin needs to be prioritised and hopefully some early wickets

If any of our quicks go for more than 6 an over in their first two, then SatNav needs to drag them and bring on the spinners.

I know we picked 3 seamers. But maybe he needs to channel Martin Crowe and bowl spin right from the off... Overs from Satnav, Bracewell, Rachin, Phillips and Mitchell, and maybe even Kane
-
Not a great start for our two quicks. 11 rpo to start things off.
