30/4. Not a good tour for the Bangles to date...

Weird. They're usually so dominant, strong and full of superstars.

Yeah, the Black Caps are just that good at the moment...
141/8 to finish, largely due to Henry continuing his "bowl pies and get fucking smacked" form this summer. If we want him to be a death bowler then he should practise at domestic level first, because at the moment all he does is bowl length deliveries that are easy pickings with an old ball.
At least we have a few runs to chase (he says as we get bundled out for 120...)

Bundled out for 120?
I'll believe that when me shit turns purple and tastes like sherbet.
What's the story with Mahmadullah only having one name? Does he think he's a star like Prince, Madonna, Cher or Fabio?

Hasain takes an outrageous catch on the boundary to remove Broom. Munro follows close behind with 0 from 2.
That catch wouldn't have been legal had there not been a gap in the ANZ boundary signage though, it was that close.
Kane making it look easy to score at a stike rate of 150.
Hopefully coriander brings his recent domestic batting form into this innings.
-
What Sky should do is instead of displaying that dumb WASP graphic all the time they should replace it with required RPO and runs from balls, and let us make up our own minds on the "percentage chance of winning" from here.
-
Annoying, I wanted to see him bat.
64/4 after 10.4. As Sky won't do it for us, that's 78 required from 56 balls.
-
Oh just noticed they do pop up the RPO etc from time to time. As you were.
-
Time for cult hero CDGH to play a blinder.
-
@No-Quarter one of these two need to bring us home, cant rely on the next fulla to do much, then after that she's a complete lottery....
-
Bangles outfielder makes the criminal mistake of letting the ball go over his head for 4. Amateur and costly.
-
My point about WASP stands though. It has basically no meaning because it constantly changes every ball. It's like watching the cricket with some dickhead that changes his prediction on whose going to win 50 times based on what is actually happening.

Wow. What a difference a few overs makes. And some appalling fielding from the Bangles. Bloody hell. Giving Kane multiple lives is just moronic.
It's basic stuff that you've got to get right. If you're at the MCG you field 5m in from the boundary as that ground is fucking huge. In Napier you hug the boundary. And Doull's comments about walking in are moronic, you'd think he never played cricket before. On a ground like that you either don't walk in or you start your walk-in from beyond the boundary rope. Duh.

I don't know how it is calculated but it seems to do the exact same job as duckworth/lewis. It uses the cumulative history of ODI cricket to tell you which team is better. I don't think WASP tells you other important stuff. Whether a team is winning depends on whether a team has good batsmen in the shed or who has overs left to bowl.
