Even if it was only 7 down they'd be a shot. When it gets that low you can get edges and some random shots and suddenly its 60 and the team is going wtf.

But running yourself out doesn't help...
73 now. They couldn't, could they?

Even if it was 8 down there'd be so much more hope!

I get my hopes up so often. Right now, I'm telling myself how Roach is underrated as a batsman and he could do this...

Edit: in fact no, he can't

Wonder whether Milinda is the real deal.. even if he is a mini-Shakib that'll do.
He's not that young, but he's got a decent FC career average so far. I remember thinking a few years ago how Dan Vettori was pretty rare, to have a left arm spinning all rounder. Dime a dozen and some good ones too

stumped in a 4th innings chase with under 200 to go with no time issues. Not watching, but I'm not sure that is ever okay...
Got a absolute monster from Siri. It turned square. As I have told earlier, you don't know how much Siri is going to spin it. He will eventually bowl the half tracker unlike Herath or Perera, it's a waiting game when the ball is turning so much.

MDK Perera has regressed his batting like a old man with dementia. The shots he played to get out was horrible. This is a man who scored a 96 on his debut against Ajmal and co in full cry.

Eh, I don't think the best way to always defend against spin is from the crease. Coming down the pitch to defend can be a safer option in some circumstances. Not sure how relevant it is in this case, but in some cases playing from the crease can be far more dangerous.
