21 off that over.
Have a breather Todd.
Astle should never have been bowling at the death. And he or Munro needs to bowl one more over. I think needing to make up two overs at the death was a too much of a risk, Astle or Munro should have bowled one more over. Probably munro should have bowled a third rather than Boult coming back after Astle got Shoaib Malik.

@cyclops Yeah - there was probably a gamble that we would bowl them out, which hasn't come off.
Ominous for them that their tail is scoring easily, but they have got an attack that can pressure us by taking wickets.
Yeah I get the gamble and I like it but bowling Astle at the death in the power play was only going to go one way. Kane either needed to squeeze in one more over earlier or hold his nerve longer so munro bowled 47/49 or 48/50

Pakistan with slightly more backbone than the Windies, dreadful start to their innings but they've managed to put some runs on the board for their bowlers to set up an interesting chase.
If Munro gets going again it won't be competitive for long, but early wickets and she's all on.

While reminding myself this is the Black Caps we're talking about and trying to keep it real I truly believe we should chase this down without too much trouble.

The great benefit of having Little Kane in the team is that you don't really have a twinge of anxiety until he gets out.
True but that's almost taking away from the other quality players we have in the team.
@Cyclops only keeping an eye on the game via cricinfo but sounds like the lower order really did a job. More than the Windies managed.

Those other c*nts are all Black Caps!

Munro gone and it's game on.

Not a great review, they're happy to have a gamble with it rather than save it for the howlers.

Possibly tactical/respect for Kane too.

Kane goes and anxiety arrives.

@no-quarter great catch
