now morgan fucking up looks like a collapse is incoming

 

[Ban-jani]

Three poor dismissals after a great start.

What we learned from the World Cup was that you just need to pick up the singles until the last 15 and then go when you have wickets in the shed.

86/3 off 11.1

Just over 3.5 an over required, with six wickets in hand. They should do it.


Repeat, "should".

 

[wahablue]

201/4 18 overs remaining.

 

[Ban-jani]

We need 3 an over, can keep things ticking and just need to save wickets.

Banton, with the perfect opportunity to stay out there and build an innings, decides on a reverse sweep off middle.

Luckily dropped.

Who is coaching this brain dead cricket?

They shouldn't fuck up from here. 2 per over needed, with six wickets remaining.

[Ban-jani]

Only 26 needed - should be over soon enough.
