Few, if any cricketers, bat like Narine.

He knows his bowling alone will get him into any team in the world. So he can bat like a total maniac, by looking to smash everything, without feeling any consequences of failing. And when it comes off, you get this.
 
Good thing that we're keeping Ellis back for the death overs, because that's definitely where this match will be won or lost...
 
The wheels have well and truly come off for this team, it's almost too painful to watch.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 100 run loss tonight.

For me the run chase isn't about winning the game - we've got no chance of that - but instead an opportunity to maybe get a few of them into some form.
 
Biggest total we've ever conceded in t20.

Only once before have we ever scored that many - and that was when Afridi went crazy against a poor Derbyshire team. We don't have Afridi tonight, and Surrey's bowlers are not Derby's bowlers.
 
I wasn't surprised at the scorecard showing Gubbins as opening. But given the target we've been set, I thought we'd go back to Donald. Out of form or not, he's more likely to do something massive than Gubbins.
