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.

[MajorRage]

He retired hurt then came back in before all the other batters had been 'n gone?

Wow.

[Kruse]

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.

Who the shit is that interviewing Becks!? Great pins.

[Bones]

The crowd is pretty awesome.

[ACT Crusader]

Bumrah rattled with 3 wides in that over.

We got this

[LABCAT]

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.

[Bones]

Sorry I'll put the telly back on mute.

[ACT Crusader]

Shami gets Conway with his first ball.

Conway just reaching to a wide one and no foot movement. Ugly

We're fucked

[ACT Crusader]

The more they replay it, the uglier that was for Conway.

Very good catch

[ACT Crusader]

@KiwiMurph a boundary, there’s hope!

[ACT Crusader]

Bumrah is getting it to jag back into the left handers. Tough to hit.

[ACT Crusader]

The bowling is top drawer.

[KiwiMurph]

Absolute class from India

[LABCAT]

A few more overs and it's probably time for bed, unless Mitchell can channel his inner McCullum.

Supergroove! The DJ's have been pretty ace.

[Bones]

@DaGrubster you are a gem
