That's simply hilarious! He's an entertainer for sure. Hope he has a second phone which he has hidden in his bag...

 

[BeeGee]

Ryder you fat ****

It wasn't Ryder's fault. It was Guptill's call and he called yes then no.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Take that you knob.

Oram had to bowl to Afridi, Akmal, and Bennett had to bowl to Akmal. Both of them didn't leak any boundaries, which is what I call good death bowling. Can't believe you're calling 21 off 2 overs as good death bowling tbh

Actually I think 1/27 off 4 overs is good death bowling. Going for 10's in the power play in the last 5 overs isn't great but it isn't bad either.

According to Rigger, How's go to shot is a swing and a miss

It was more Ryder's fault tbh. Guptill actually said waiting but Ryder had already committed far to much to ever hope of getting back. The run outs are becoming ridiculous. They should stand behind the crease and just run for the definite/easy singles for a few overs.

Guptill may have said "waiting" but he said it after he had set off for a quick single. Ryder would have seen that and committed himself to a single before the "waiting, no!" call came through. Guptill had full view of where he hit the ball and where the fielder was. He should've known straight away there was no run there. He should cope the blame.

You should be aware of the fielders positions around you. That is your job as a non striker as well as backing up. When a fielder is literally two meters to your right then you should never find yourself surprised of how fast that fielder closes the ball down. It was his lack of awareness that lead to him over backing up and causing uncertainty in the mind of Guptill even if it was technically MG's call.

How is trying to pull everything to the on side. He should seek out Bryan Young and get him to teach him how to play the cut shot. It seems to be a dying art these days.

I don't normally do this, but

There was nothing unusual about Ryder's backing up, and it certainly wouldn't have created any uncertainty in Guptill's mind. You are right in that it was Guptill's call, and by setting off for a single before he'd made a clear call one way or the other, he put Ryder in a position where he had to trust his partner and go. The fact that Ryder didn't even get close to getting back into his ground showed how attrocious Guptill's initial judgement was.

 

[Bahnz]

Guptill into the 20's. Get ready people.

 

[Athlai]

Drizzle in the air. Guptill is going to score some runs.

Its not unusual because your not thinking about it. Mark Cosgrove does the same thing. He is unfit and rather slow so he backs up further to avoid finding himself short at the other end. Rigger said the same thing about Ryder's lack of awareness. If he had been concentrating he wouldn't find himself still half way down the pitch when he was run out because he would know Misbah is right next to him especially the way Guptill plays and their previous run out in the test match.

Jamie How is infuriating. 10* (30) quickly becomes 40* (55) domestically, and it used to in ODIs, but now he just panics and holes out in the deep.

Ryder is surprisingly quick and he's fit enough to score test match double tons.

 

[BeeGee]

Guptill well and truly into the red zone, now. If he can just make it through to 40...

He is a natural athlete more than fit tbh. That's why he still has a lot of injuries despite being able to play those long innings.

I'm picking him to get past Jimmy's 62 in the last game.

10 from 35 come on How. I actually remember him taking this approach in ODIs when he was in a form slump a year or two ago.

gun call.
