Always thought he came across slightly negatively
One of the great things about this world cup has been the different nations commentators. A lot of them other than say Michael Holding and Nasser have been so positive for their teams. Even Michael Clarke and Slater weren't getting negative during the Aussie's innings. Nasser is very very poor.

Roy isn’t hanging about, but he’s not going crazy. Just about right so far.

Played those 10 overs just like they should. Still work to do of course, but the back of the run chase is almost broken. Another good 5 to 8 overs, and it'll be very difficult for Aus to come back.
 
That was purely a case of Australia just gambling for a wicket. Didn't care about the risk of Smith going for big runs, because runs are irrelevant now. They need(ed) 10 wickets.

Great batting guys. Great batting. So well done for playing their normal game, rather than reverting to typical English old style type.

Agreed. In all honesty, I don’t think Jason Roy knows any other way!
