T 20 World Cup

[Hoop-Leif]

England bat, Bairstow opening

 

[Stroller]

Getting nervous now, let's hope Bairstow can come good up top.

 

[Hoop-Leif]

Nervy start

 

[Hoop-Leif]

5 wides are always nice

 

[Hoop-Leif]

1 down

 

[Stroller]

Bairstow didn't really come off - 13 off 17 balls.

Malan needs to step up.now.

 

[Stroller]

Buttler gone. England in trouble.

 

[Hoop-Leif]

Oh dear. This is not going well

 

[Trammers]

60/2 from 9.......need some serious acceleration to post a challenging score........

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

Gotta step on the gas here, Kiwi's so good at squeezing the runs. Would've been tempted to put Livingstone in instead of Ali. Someone needs to go for it and let Malan bat through

 

[Trammers]

67/2 at halfway

 

[Hoop-Leif]

What do we reckon is the minimum we need here?

150? 165?

We're in the game with 150, but probably need 170.

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

Lovely shots from Malan but Ali needs to do something ffs. Just taking singles or dot balls. Start trying to hit big or get out and let someone else do it

 

[Trammers]

Good 11th over

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

Come on Ali ffs, throw the bat

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

We're in danger of leaving Morgan and Livingstone in the shed here. Costing us runs we can't afford, Ali has to slog it don't matter now if he gers out

 

[Stroller]

Come on Ali ffs, throw the bat

Yep, he's got to hit out or get out.

Can't leave Livingstone in the hutch.

 

[Trammers]

10 an over from last 6 overs gives us 160 or there abouts.......... anything more will be a bonus

 

[Trammers]

Ali strike rate 100
Malan strike rate130
