And Conway survives a lazy run.
Conway is the new Ross Taylor

Very entertaining - batting like they've decided 220 is a par score.
... and planning on self destructing on the way...

Taking the field with Conway wicket keeping is not a good strategy. He's not got the technique or finesse. I was sure that Phillips kept for a couple of CPL seasons - not sure why he doesn't do it because Conway looked like a real part timer.
Think the rain will scupper my commentators curse though.
Bangles putting in their usual pea hearted performance. I know the limitations of the Italy of world cricket but for decades I've watched these guys phone it in in NZ. Then they're a different team at home. I think they only try when they've got local fans to answer directly to. Tours are for bank, home is for avoiding effigies.

To paraphrase Jeff Thomson ( I think ) the BCs could turn up pissed and beat these guys. Complete waste of time

To be clear though, I do appreciate them coming, now and the future - any cricket is better than none. There's a part of me that wants the bangles to do well, but after 21 years with the big boys, it's all very Italian Rugby

Sumo reheating a 30 year old joke from the 12th Man with his Duckworth Lewis gripe.
He’s a better cricket commentator than rugby commentator

@donsteppa I think the Bangers just threw their toys out of the cot when the saw what they had to chase.

IIRC Phillips' knee problems means he can't be a regular WK.
