[_Ed_]

Ooh, big wicket. Ashwin was really good on Saturday.

 

[Zinzan]

Uh-oh. I have a bad feeling about this.

your bad feeling bought us 2 quick wickets!

 

[Contra]

man these guys are getting out to nothing deliveries =/

 

[hendrix]

bowl outside off stump and full to both these batsmen. It shouldn't need to be said. Forget about the ****ing short ball.

 

[Blocky]

Ashwinn...outing.

 

[Daemon]

Ravi #2 to bring us to 300

I plan to feel distinctly queasy throughout the entire 2015 World Cup.

 

[Zinzan]

Haha, so many ****ing leg side strangles.

Finally Sharma ****s off.

Williamson has a knack of leg-side strangles IIRC

 

[Blocky]

This is where the bowlers need to go away from their shorter pitched **** and start looking for death lines and lengths.

[Daemon]

Comms trying their best not to call Binny a no rounder. Not even daring to show his LA figures.

I mean if we're picking ****s like this I'd love some Yusuf Pathan instead.

 

[_Ed_]

He's basically been picked as an ugly but effective type player because of his performances in First Class cricket, however he's ugly and predictably ineffective in one day cricket. It'd be a bit like giving Sam Wells a go in ODIs; just weird. Should probably be batting eight and bowl 2-3 overs as the sixth bowler in this lineup so it's almost like India have opted to play with ten.

Yep, looks like he's definitely batting eight.

 

[Zinzan]

man these guys are getting out to nothing deliveries =/

Risk vs. reward for Sharma today. Played some extraordinary rank shots amongst some delightful ones.

 

[Zinzan]

nah it's the alternative cricket commentary

Nice one. Enjoyed the comments on Binny's nerves..

 

[Blocky]

Tim Southee is starting to show his class as a player, after a few years of being potential without consistency, he's starting to consistently get good players out in all formats, land the balls he wants to land and work players out. I just hope he shelves the death overs bouncer thing and goes back to his reverse swinging yorkers.

 

[Daemon]

Bit hard to get reverse swing now with the new rules.

 

[hendrix]

I don't understand bowling Southee out. He's our only good death bowler.

 

[straw man]

Fantastic spell by Southee. Surprised (ok not actually surprised) that McCullum's bowling Southee out leaving death overs to other bowlers including Mills.

... and now he bowls a short rubbish boundary ball

 

[Jono]

To you lucky pricks who are able to watch, what is the pitch playing like? Par score?
