The nagging disquiet was that Williamson would bog.
Steadying won't cut it as we get close to halfway through our overs.

^^ absolutely that.
Was a relief when Williamson was given out only for him to then toss a review away as well.
His dawdling could spark a collapse as the following players try to get the momentum back.

I see a few BC supporters wearing the old beige kit. Haven't seen that since the nineties?

Astute field placements hobbled us.
Only the Allen blitz got us to 200.
We are in with a chance.

Kane removes 2nd slip after three dots and Warner edges the next ball to where 2nd slip would have been standing. :crazy:

All out for 111 chasing 200. At home, In Sydney. In their opening match of their defense of the title. With their strongest line-up.

Not much of a Hit & Giggle fan tbh (missed Allen's early fireworks coz the NPC Final was still on), but that game was fun.

Ireland struggling, wickets tumblin'
118/8 with 8 balls left.

128/8 is a bit light

dropping catches and missing run outs not helping the already weak defense of this total.

Some of the batting by Pakistan is not such high quality right at the moment

Awful batting from Pak, although the biased Ind commentary I'm listening to is naturally praising the 'brilliant' bowling.

Kumar, Pandya, and Shami have been superb but Pakistan targeted the spinners

Not sure India Pakistan can be summed up better than by the last three balls. Three huge heaves and three misses, India miss a sitter of a run out, and the crowd cheers

India chasing a target of 160, which they should get reasonably easily

Good start from Pakistan. They have some gun pace bowlers. Indian batters will be nervy.
