Bethell run out

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Come on Kiwis

Curran cost them the chase here. He’s just not good enough when you need runs. Faced 3 full tosses in his last few balls and got 2 runs and out.

When you aren't timing the ball well in these sort of chases you are better off getting yourself out sometimes. 18 off 14 wasn't great, but the game was lost with the ball.

That's all she wrote anyway, at least we've gone down swinging.

Horrible cunts, including you Nasser, cmon NZ

Yeah I don't hate India but NZ really deserves an ICC trophy. That's why I picked them to win it as it's the most improbable.. they've been wronged so much over the years!

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

LOL I've never seen a Joffra six swing that hit the ball and didn't even go 1 feet from the bat!

Truly headscratching moment that!

Curran with 130 sr sealed the fate at end , he scores 10 more and last over is different ball game

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Not fussed who wins the final may the best team win. Don't strongly dislike any team other than the Aussies who didn't even make the last 8.

 

[jazzy]

Good effort , will support the Kiwis in the final as have family who live there

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Jof should be our new T20 opener lol

 

[vmsuhail]

Why didn't Archer come on earlier ?

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

I'd have sent Jof in next personally.

Tell you what if he'd have had those 3 balls that Overton faced it could have been very interesting

I'm still scratching my head over that ball that didn't even go 1 foot after contact..

Proper witchcraft that!

Someone needs to be sacked!

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

BTW I'm curious about why this forum likes Nasser.. is it his tone when commentating or did he actually do something?

I thought he used to be okay when he played

Yes lol strange as his bat seemed to have springs in it everything else he hit. Must have jammed it into the surface somehow

Well we were in the game but, not really in it at the same time if that makes sense.

Could have done with the top of the order actually turning up but, a SF loss is pretty good I think for the squad we've got.

He wouldn't have been facing medium pace dollies though. That last over was there to be hit as it essentially just needed to be straight and to bounce.

Great effort chasing that total.
Build the team round Bethell as he is a great talent

Yes a really good effort, to only lose by 7 runs … a crackin’ match.

Jacob Bethell has now scored centuries in Test cricket, ODI cricket and T20i cricket, having never scored one in any format domestically.

Must be a first.
