Not sure brining on Boult now is wise. Could have been a good opportunity to get through some CDG or Henry overs

Yup, but, a wicket will all but end the game as a contest.

Spot the new cricket fan.

Dhoni's gambling on having a crack at our weaker bowlers in the last 10 - let's take that away from him

How quiet is the ground?

Not very, now. Go back to orjn.

[Squirrel]

we have 3.2 more overs of Neesham/Colin to get through

[Damo]

And 3 overs of Henry as well. He's gotta get on again soon.

[Donsteppa]

Banish Neesh from the bowling crease for now...

[booboo]

You reckon that's why he took Mitch off ? To save a specialist?

[Mokey]

@Donsteppa That over went for 9, and his economy rate is 5.8. In the context of this game, pretty meh.

[rotated]

Surely, surely, surely given Santner and the Indian duo's returns Kane has to bowl at least an over. If Kane wasn't the skipper he would be on by now, the only reason would be to not undermine the other bowlers.

[Mokey]

Enough already with these farking wides!

[ACT Crusader]

Got away with one there Boult. Full toss to Dhoni

[No Quarter]

India suddenly have a bit of momentum now.

[booboo]

132 from 100 is T20 doable.

Need wicket

[ACT Crusader]

Boult has lost his shape. The strategy to bowl full to Dhoni isn’t a bad one given he plays late and you are a chance for an LBW if he doesn’t time it. But Boult is a little all over the place.

[No Quarter]

A couple of big, important overs for India.

[rotated]

Get Santner on, field in to Jadeja and start trying to starve Dhoni of the strike.

[Donsteppa]

Williamson needs to try himself for an over, ideally to have tried it before some of the pressure was reduced, but even still...

[No Quarter]

Jadeja is playing really well, digging India out of a hole.

[canefan]

They have freed up scoring wise. Now henry is back....

[rotated]

Why are there so many easy singles? Bring the field in for God's sake - at least for Jadeja. Every batsman has struggled to get going out there yet Kane has the sweeper back on both boundaries for easy singles.

[Mokey]

Why is Kane always so reluctant to bring himself on, even when conditions are screaming for him?
