Just had a thought.
Gita is due to hit Tuesday/Wednesday so not likely to have any cricket...

Do they give it to Aussie, or just finish up with no winner? Hopefully the latter.

Weather looks okay for Wednesday actually.

Terrible wicket.

They’ve fucked around for the last 3 or 4 overs, quite content to take zero risks, then all of a sudden Kane decides to come down the track and be expansive.. WTF.

Terrible option.

Their spinners are comfortably outbowling our spinners in helpful conditions.

Part of it is our batting approach. Sodhi seems like a bowler who will always take wickets but not as economical as other spinners.

[Gunner]

Really shit tactics since Munro got out. Someone needed to keep the scoring rate moving along but instead they both batted like they were on a Sunday drive with Grandma, which built pressure and brought about Kanes wicket.

[hydro11]

We are okay. It is only 9 runs an over to make the final and the are running out of spinners.

Ah ok, that’ll teach me to make an assumption.

20 overs of these two and we will probably get done in the ODIs, tbh.

Finally a second batsman who knows how to score faster than a run a ball.

[Gunner]

Another boundary in these last two balls would be ideal

Bingo!

Really like the look of Chapman.
Seems to have a cool head and that extra bit of time that good players seem to find from somewhere.

[hydro11]

8 an over with 8 wickets in hand. Should be easy.

[hydro11]

We should probably be favourites to win the game now.

Yea but wouldn’t it be sweeter if we get through by winning...

[Gunner]

I think we’re in the final now, almost a done deal.

Let’s see some fireworks and get through on a win though!

[Gunner]

6 6 from Guptill and we’re now in the box seat 31 from 22 required.

Then Guptill gets bowled.

[mimic]

It's just outrageous that Guppy has a better average in T20 cricket than test cricket.

[Gunner]

That was a brilliant shot of Chapman chatting to Rosco as he walked to the wicket. Casual as you like, chewing away on his cud without a care in the world.

[Mokey]

Ah, FFS Taylor.

[Gunner]

Taylor gone.

22 needed from 13

[Donsteppa]

Excellent. Now to see if we go to the final as the clear second best team, or as just the 'best' loser
