This pitch looks dead it might hold up more and more as it’s bowled on.looks very dry, not much bounce it will be hard to play on the up,pace off will be harder and harder to score off.
We get 170 good chance the pitch will get lower and slower by the time Pakistan bat.

We'll be lucky to get 100 at this rate

Ffs what is Phillips doing with those dinky little shots. Smack it son.

As I type that he gets out. Ffs.

[Donsteppa]

Looks like our determination to play five specialist bowlers in this tournament might come home to roost again with a long tail up against this Pakistani bowling and fielding.

[KiwiMurph]

That's the game.

[No Quarter]

Doesn't look an easy pitch to time it on, we need Kane to anchor and the others to get us past 160 from here

I did say if , we just need to be smart gap the ball and runs lots of 2s.

It's certainly time to roll out all the clichés of steady the ship and Captains knock, etc.

[Damo]

No need to panic, but I think we need to rein in our score expectations slightly. 160 might have to be the target from here.

Kane Williamson has a lot on his shoulders. He needs to hang around, and then really accelerate at the end.

[voodoo]

Kane to score 60, Neesh 50, well will finish on 165 and win by 15 runs.

You heard it here first.

Yup. Just like the CWC15 final sometimes it's not time to go for boundaries. Need to rotate the strike as much as possible

Doull says since their loss the Pakistan bowling attack hasn't conceded more than 130 in any game. We are poke

And our bowling is a strength aswell. We need a Boult special tonight.

Fuckity Fuck!

I hate playing Pakistan….
I don’t care if it’s a school night I’m having another drink!

[voodoo]

If you could have 1 do-over, would you have Allen, Conway or Philips back?

[ACT Crusader]

They are bowling to their field and we are playing the right way and not trying to hit over. Those last two dismissals were soft as

It's a slow bowler's pitch. Boult has been tapped around on such pitches of late
