Not sure what a good score is here, pitch doesn’t look that straightforward.

It's a bit on the slow side. 250 would be decent

It’s a 200 pitch when Seales bowls and 300 when it’s Joseph!!

Hence, my 250 score

I like the move of taking Motie out of the attack primarily because the ball isn't doing much at the moment. Good strategic change from Shai.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

ahaha, there's the wicket

Man, I can be a good captain of the game. Ricky Ponting style.

 

[Molehill]

Cox never looked comfortable, only Bethell seems to have found some timing on this pitch.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Forde in the PP: tries to swing it with the new ball
Forde in the Middle overs: tries to mix it up with slower balls.

he's got range

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The slower ball worked!

Forde get rid of Bethell. Big moment in this innings.

In comes Scrappy Doo...

Bit silly that, ball is sticking in the pitch. Just knock it around and get 250.

All 4 wickets to mistimed shots.

This is deliberate trying to bowl as wide as possible and slowing down the pace of the delivery.

Yeah, it calls for sensible batting. Build a partnership. Runs are there for the taking.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Get a short-leg in there for Thanos, Shai!

Make that 5 mistimed shots. Big wicket and the drop not costly.

but that’s another drop…
