If I'm reading the scorecard right ... Gill carried his bat and only faced 66 balls?
Retired hurt from cramp
And then came back.
I'm just imagining all the coaches watching that, and pondering the possibilities...Rassie?

I didn't want to mention a particular country, or any slightly different views on "gamesmanship" vs "values-of-the-game" vs "playing-to-the-rules" vs "playing-the-ref"... as it might seem like sour grapes considering recent results in other sports...
... but yeah, you can see somebody named something like "Rassie" becoming a consultant for a cricket team, playing in hot conditions, and suggesting that maybe some players get a little "cramp-y" at strategic times. -
Fuck it. I'm calling it. We can't score 400, we've got no chance, I'm going to bed.
It's a lost cause - just like all the commentators say. Guaranteed result for India. They batted us out of the game.
Absolutely no chance that we'll pull out 1 fucking huge effort, a couple of supporting centuries, and a lower-order cameo to help finish it off.
Not a fucking chance. Even David Beckham says so. -
Bumrah rattled with 3 wides in that over.
We got this

Need a bit more momentum, already behind the required rate.
The ball is moving so we just need to pick off the odd bad ball and keep wickets in hand.

Shami gets Conway with his first ball.
Conway just reaching to a wide one and no foot movement. Ugly

We're fucked

The more they replay it, the uglier that was for Conway.
Very good catch
-
@KiwiMurph a boundary, there’s hope!
-
Bumrah is getting it to jag back into the left handers. Tough to hit.

The bowling is top drawer.
