RHC's Cricket Thread

Pitch and ball have gone Irish, and we're 50 short.

 

48 to win.

Brooks has had a great innings. the sacrifice of alli for 15 balls took some put of the old ball and their bowlers to protect him and 5 runs from no 3 look led bad earlier but 56 no out is 30 runs more than I expected from him.

woakes 18 is useful. if he can stand there for a half hour and not glove another he can win this.

 

I've the British gp on one screen and the cricket on the other.

next 3 hours could be good.

 

singles Square. 39 to win.

 

keep going for singles.

 

22 to go.

Brook has really done well.

woakes on 24 for 40 balls. rode his look as no 7 but very useful.

 

**** **** ****.

Cummins nearly killed starc to catch Brook.

21 needed.

could have left that easily on length.

 

come on lads don't go closing your eyes and swinging now.

singles will do it.

let the short stuff go.

 

Swing and a miss...

 

Wood, what are you doin..... Oh, great shot!

 

6 for wood.

2 more of those or 2 wickets.

 

brilliant wood.

that's a proper shot.

 

one big shot to win.

 

up in the sky and the auusies drop it.

they get in each others way.

 

woakes prods the easy single.

2 to win.

Wood do it

 

it's a draw.

Wood disappointed he cant win it yet

 

yea. woakes does it.

Harry Brook saved that game.

stokes turned disaster into a chance first innings.

 

" Woakes has been good in the final stages of many a one-day game though, which is almost what this has become."
