@Gunner I feel 1 wicket = 20 runs roughly.
Then there's a bit of subjectivity over runs conceded as a bowler, balls faced as a batter and when they scored the runs / took the wickets.
I think 74 opening the batting takes some beating in terms of man of the match since it sets the rest of your team up for the match
Milne may not have got those 4 wickets if Allen hadn't given him so many runs on the board that the Pakis had to throw hands etc
That’s bang on, a century is regarded as the same as a five for after all.
Not an exact measure though given there’s only ten wickets to take and on any given day a bowler can be brilliant and not get any.
Dumb time to have a match though, don’t they realise I’m at work and can’t watch it ?

Only 12 runs off the last 2, but when you crank out 224 that's a pretty good crack.
Happy that Flynn has found some form, was in a bad run for awhile (hadn't survived to the 6th over for something like 14 match's or the like?) but its great to see he's found some consistency to go with his talent in this series so far.

We have fucked Pakistan up so far in this series. We have a really dangerous T20 team, especially with Allen starting to find his feet at this level.

Reminds me of Jesse Ryder (not in physique) , he’s excitement / anticipation and then disappointment rolled into one!

Pakistan bowled well in the power play to get the early wickets.
Phillips and Mitchell handled the situation expertly, took their time getting in and rebuilding, then accelerated the scoring at the right time.
Good to see different guys standing up with match winning contributions through this series.

Yeah - when you consider Williamson and Conway sitting this one out is a bit like Martin Crowe and John Wright sitting out a game in the early-90s. You'd have barely bothered watching....

We haven't missed much by Conway sitting out, he has not scored anything since the first game of the WC on OCT 5th, 17 innings in a row where Conway has gotten out cheaply with some bad technical flaws that have become really prominent.
17 innings for 272 runs Average 16.00
No foot movement, Hands to far away from the body falling over on his leg side shots,His balance is all over the place.
Someone surley is trying to work on these problems because he keeps repeating them.
As I posted just before Christmas for me it is a bit of a worry.
We need runs from him going in to the Australian series. -
The Mitchs seem to be our MVPs at the moment. The son of John one in particular (in all formats) but there are some other good performers on a fairly regular basis as well. Given that you need at least 4 guys to have a good / great game to be competitive in a match it is encouraging. I agree with the comments about the long tail though most of our bowlers aren't going to rescue the top 6 if they all fail (or at least stumble a bit).
