Needed that.

That's what she said

 

[cnerd123]

That's what she said

no women's ever going to say that about @trundler

I think Pak could defend 150

Not to me

150 might be just good enough.

 

[smash84]

what an over from Starc

 

[Gob]

Man some of these chicks in the crowd really putting my no nut November in real jeopardy

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Fakhar doesn't caress the balls, he slays them.

 

[honestbharani]

150 can be enough but you are kidding yourselves if you think 160-170 is not par here, especially if dew sets in like it usually does.

Also, piss poor captaincy by Finch to rotate bowlers so much in the powerplay. You bowl Starc and Hazlewood in these conditions for 4 overs, then you get funky with Zampa for the 5th and then damage control, if needed, with Cummins for the 6th.

 

[honestbharani]

And see what happens if you have too many Hazlewood overs for the second half.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lot of time for Haze, but a slower ball right in Rizwan's arc almost certainly not the go.

 

[trundler]

Rizwan turning it around. Zaman needs to come good finally.

 

[honestbharani]

I would have bowled Zampa straight after Starc... not sure why he is not bowling this over though.

 

[honestbharani]

The one bad sign for Pak here seems to be the dew. Cummins bowling that no ball indicates he has issues holding it and most likely due to dew I feel.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Lol Cummins is piss poor in this format. No idea why he's persevered with

 

[Calm_profit]

Cummins is mediocre in white ball cricket.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Cricinfo live forecast has them at 167 at this point.

 

[BoyBrumby]

11 off it, but definitely feels as if it should've been more.

Paddy got his length right like 2/7.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The slow bowlers are hard to get away.
Pakistan should take this into consideration when it's their turn to bowl.
