[Gunner]

Should have been 2 there, surely.

[Donsteppa]

Munro and the Pedestrians.

[Mokey]

Oh fucking hell. Three singles. If we lose this, I'm going to be so pissed.

[No Quarter]

/broken record Yorkers are hard to hit! Who knew?

[Gunner]

Fuck. Come on lads.

[Gunner]

Taking note how to bowl at the death Boult?

[Donsteppa]

If only Boult hadn't served up pies in their 20th over...

[Gunner]

Really poor from the BCs, should have won after the start Munro gave them.

Might seem tough but I think the blame lies with Guptil and Kane for absolutely fucking around after Munro’s wicket.

[Donsteppa]

Sums this team up nicely.

Fuck all urgency in the final two overs.

[hydro11]

Great death bowling from the Poms. We should have got home there with the wickets in hand.

[Mokey]

Fucking useless fluffybunnies. What the fucking fuck. Utterly shit display after such a great start.

[No Quarter]

Criminal to lose that only 4 down after that Munro innings. Nice to make the final but that leaves a bitter taste.

[Bovidae]

Chapman showed his inexperience there with trying to be too cute with his shot selection.

Great death bowling from England though.

What makes it worse is how fucking shit out death bowling is.

‘Let’s keep them guessing and spray it all over he place’ is not working

Except for Tim today, he was excellent.

Can't hit death bowling can't handle pressure. Wasp predicter for win in final 1%.

If Guptill and Munro don't come off it will be a walkover. Chapman really became noticeably agitated by the pressure and didn't respond well especially not hitting those 2 free hits.

[MN5]

That's two heartbreakers in a row BCs.

What the fuck dudes?

[Chris B.]

I'm not heartbroken at all.

I thought we played that almost perfectly, except that we got the qualification target out the way very comfortably and then fucked up the last two overs - so didn't ice the cake with a win.

Mainly I blame Boult.

Getting hit for six twice in an over by batsmen facing their first ball is inept - especially when he clearly wasn't trying to bowl a yorker and missing - just bowling from the buffet.

Jordan largely showing how it should be done. Get the fucking yorkers in and if someone repeatedly ramps you then good for them.

[Bovidae]

Practice should be very simple before Auckland.

Bowlers - learn how to bowl full length yorkers.
Batsmen - have a plan to score off those deliveries.

Remember the WC mate, we only have one epic get out of jail performance in us. We do terrible when there is expectation to win so we have the Aussies right where we want them

[Godder]

Yorkers are awful deliveries in T20 because the margin for error is so small - poor yorkers are full tosses, in the slot or wides.
