Jos is in some form

I've missed the last week or so of the competition because, you know, life, so surprised that Buttler is so far ahead of the pack in terms of runs scored and that the Originals made it through. When I saw him earlier on, he looked pretty scratchy. No doubt at his best now, can't keep an ATG player down for long.

Yeah first half of the tournament he seemed in a rut, but he’s on fire at the minute

197/1, that's a slapping

Chased down with 4 balls to spare, haymakered

Looks like, like today, the women’s final will be disrupted by weather? But it should have cleared by the men’s

Some performance from Southern Brave here.

Kate Cross’s bowling was superb but otherwise NS been well below par here

Great work by Southby, the keeper, today. The first stumping was silky. I assumed Kalea Moore was an Aussie but is apparently English. Has a lovely action. Rodrigues was massively let down by her teammates today. Faced 12 of the first 60 balls or so and she was opening!

Ovals loss of their key overseas players is likely to be massive tonight.

Looking like it. Been far and away the best side to date but in big trouble here and originals are in stellar form

If Buttler wins this, this will be another prestigious tournament he won.

If Buttler wins this, this will be another prestigious tournament he won.

It'd solidify him as an all time great T20 player if he wins tonight, right?

Thankfully a decent partnership at last. 140 would be interesting - scoreboard pressure and all that - especially if Buttler went early.

Dreadful bowling this last half hour. I don't know if Buttler is saying anything to his bowlers but this has been dire. Oval could be onto a strong score here.

 

[GIMH]

Bowled so well up front too.

Shouldn’t take away from this partnership though. Both fantastic

Whilst I don't think TC is a good enough bowler at the highest level his batting has really come on recently and these boys certainly have some moxie.

He already is but he's going to need a lot of help from his teammates to win now.

Isa Guha replacing KP in the comm box is the equivalent of Australia going from Tim May to Warne. Just so much better.

 

[kevinw]

I thought the second half of the Manchester bowling was poor, but they've outdone that with the chase. Absolutely brainless.

 

[kevinw]

Best team by miles so they deserved the win. Spinners really shackled the MO today, and then it was too hard to recover.
