@voodoo game is over by now anyway

Yeah. To your point on hitting, that was a great shot off a not-too-bad delivery

The margin of error at McLean Park is so small given the short boundary. Pressure on the bowlers to get it right or it usually goes the distance.

You’ve gotta love a batter that goes for a golden, as he’s walking off gives advice to the new batsman 😎

"Get the other guy on strike"?

[KiwiMurph]

This is like a reversal of the last game where the chasing team stumbles a little at the end but does it easy really.

[ACT Crusader]

Rizwan that is terrible.

[voodoo]

[ACT Crusader]

Biggest hit of the night.

[KiwiMurph]

Pakistan deserved winners.

Another short ball when 90% of them have been dispatched to the boundary.

A scorecard that makes the game look closer than it was for much of it.

Definition of insanity?

[Gunner]

Can only assume the pitch evened out and got quicker with a bit of dew after the sun buggered off?

What other explanation is there to the lack of slower balls or variations, especially after Phillips made a point of it in his interview.

Ah well, bring on Boxing Day and the real cricket.

Yeah, I thought we'd defend that fairly easily.

Good thing I don't bet on sports eh

Comms said as much, backed up in an on field in game interview with one of the BCs. The pitch lost all it's variable bounce

I was so, so tempted to put a wee bet on Pakistan after your massive jinx-y comment, but was just too damned lazy.

I set it up for you, but you didn't take the bait?

We did not bowl well. They cruised it in the end
