All ya need is glove

Ashwin lol what a moron why try the reverse sweep in this situation when Phillips is giving you plenty of half volleys

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

He was shepherding them home with sensible cricket, why oh why would are they compelled to reverse sweep

 

[Shri]

we deserve this

 

[Spark]

Extremely fortunate for NZ that they have Michael Gough at that end who misses nothing because that would not have been an easy decision to make at all

 

[ataraxia]

In fairness to Phillips, amidst his rubbish to the lefties he bowled pretty accurately to Ashwin. And he gets his reward.

 

[SteveNZ]

Yep, GP bowling is good

 

[King Kane]

Phillips strikes, great call from Latham keeping him on.

 

[honestbharani]

I remember when the comms said Virat made that wicket off the drive that one of those batsmen who drove the ball to him. But conversely, its also because he was so close at both midwicket and covers that so many easy singles were dinked around the wicket.

And there is a brain dead shot from Ash against the bowler who was the least threatening. FMD.

 

[Burgey]

I gather from what’s been said blundell has been average but that’s a very good grab

 

[Arachnodouche]

Crap from Ashwin. Looked like **** with a straight bat, thought turning it the other way round might change his luck.

 

[Moss]

Yup more than the batting failures it’s the glovework and the reviewing which will put him on thin ice.

Great catch on that occasion, and at a vital time too. Quite the enigma.

 

[straw man]

That wicket is just another big hmmmmm face

 

[Meridio]

Like I said, keep Phillips on. Hell of a catch from Blundell too

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yeah but invite him to play the shot. It's an insane risk

but nudging singles is an insane risk anyway, you might as well not even give them the high-return option.

 

[Spark]

I gather from what’s been said blundell has been average but that’s a very good grab

His keeping has been fine IMO. It's his batting and reviewing (and some of his very strange decision making in open play when run outs are on) which have been problems

 

[PlayerComparisons]

It will never not look abysmal when someone gets out reverse sweeping

Especially to the quicks

 

[honestbharani]

In a way, this might actually be our only path for victory with Washy being left with no choice but to go for his shots.

 

[ataraxia]

Wow he finally turned one!

 

[Shri]

its funny

akash brings kohli's bat with him every time he bats

scores more than him usually

edit: except for now
