Good little cameo from Rashid. Can't be predictable against him because if he sees it coming, he's using those freaky wrists to hit it out of the park

 

[trundler]

Fair to bust out the c word for that effort. That's a ****ing choke.

Not a bad game but Originals really did throw that away

Yes they did. And last night was only the latest exhibition of how the bowling is better than the batting in this year's competition.
Talking of which, I watched enough of both of the Oval Invincibles games to confirm that Adam Zampa is probably my favourite cricketer right now.

Southern Brave (W) 55-5 off 55.

This is impressive from Pooran. Against possibly the best attack in the comp too. Though Oval Invincibles may argue with that I guess.

 

[GIMH]

Yes Harry!!

 

[trundler]

Surprised the Superchargers didn't **** that up with what I've seen over the last 24 hours in T20 cricket

 

[GIMH]

Love the way Harry dropped anchor then did Harry Brook things when Pooran got out

That Superchargers side looks a lot better with Brook in, and probably/possibly Stokes for a few games too? Hopefully on the 11th as a minimum. Should do better than last year

Still hard to look past the Invincibles though

suprised a tie is even allowed in something so fake as the 100. i had expected the team with the most
sixes or failing that the most boundaries would be declared winners, in which case the NS wood have
won 13-12. Or have a 5 ball contest instead of a superover.

The Invincibles' bowling's better than their batting. But their bowling is very good indeed.

As you say, the Superchargers are looking way better now that they have more than a couple of proper batters.

True story. After a few too many rum and cokes at the Kensington Oval when England were beaten by Australia, I asked anyone who would listen, or let’s be honest anyone who wouldn’t, what Will Jacks could do that Joe Root couldn’t do better in T20?

Exhibit A for the prosecution going ahead before our eyes

People always get out when I make these posts and I never learn

Root can't get a game in the IPL and Jacks scored a 40 ball ton this year.

I'd send Rashid in now.

They do and boom, instant vindication.

 

[trundler]

Christ, the finishing has been dire this year

 

[wpdavid]

That may well be the biggest choke yet. 125 for 3 after 87 balls, with only 14 needed from the remaining 13. And two batsmen reasonably well set.

 

[wpdavid]

Flavour of the month Jacob Bethel doing himself no harm last night. Ditto Dan Mousley, eventually, after coming on as his side's 7th bowler.

 

[GIMH]

Phil Salt having a terrible Hundred, I declare this competition invalid
