Might be worth getting Philips on with his golden arm and the ball turning

 

[JaggedJ]

F the last 10 overs. Got them on the ropes, bowl the bowlers and try to wrap it up before the 40th.

 

[Inruin]

Ferguson to the tail enders might be a better option than Southee?

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I can't believe we are seeing ball movement. They have got some very good spinners, but don't look they'll get anything for them to bowl at.

This couldn't have gone more to script so far.

 

[Inruin]

Is Philips out of favour all of a sudden?

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Should our batsman play sensibly or live by the sword/die by the sword ala Perera in the opening powerplay?

They want the ball turning away from the bat

I get that but Ravindra hasn't bowled well all tournament and Philips has. Having off spin at one end and the left arm spin at the other provides variation. And Philips has had a bit of a golden arm

 

[Inruin]

Couple of short ones then fast and straight yorker please from Ferguson

 

[Inruin]

Nice! Now just try and blast the stumps out of the ground

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I'm glad we are not facing Ravindra Jadeja on this pitch

 

[Inruin]

Why was Philips fielding there on his knees? He is a keeper, if he is just squatting like in a keepers stance he has more chance doesn't he?

It is all a bit cute isn't it? It is not like the ball is keeping low.

Time is ticking...

All out attack with the bat

The only thing that matters is how quickly we get the runs

 

[Inruin]

We are either going to win this easily or be so agonizingly close before rain sets in

He got smashed against Pakistan, maybe they don't want a sub continent team facing him.

Everyone got smashed against Fakhar!

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I'm starting to get a bit nervous.

 

[Inruin]

Philips! Philips! Philips!

 

[Inruin]

Boooo
