Well, we asked for a complete team performance to have any chance of victory.
Part 1 achieved. Our bowlers beat their batsmen. They very rarely looked comfortable and in control. Superb effort in the field.
Part 2 will be just as difficult and necessary. Our batsmen need to beat their bowlers for the trophy. Our batting lineup can beat any attack on it’s day and bats deep. Is today that occasion?

Hell yeah it’s coming home.

15 off the first over but Warner has fallen in the second over.
Shit start.

 

[Buttface]

You can hear the crowd now

1/41 off 4.
Is it a race?

Crazy chasing 241 batting like this

We need to settle down...

 

[Buttface]

Both wickets chasing wide ones, could be none for 20 or 30 and everyone would be happy. We need 4,5 runs per over not 10.
Smith gone to now.

 

[Tucker]

These useless batsmen have let us down again.
I’m not wasting tomorrow for this shit.
Goodnight.

I can understand the intent from the batsmen.

The pitch will only give you something to bat at for 10 overs then it will turn into a road.

With Cummins and Starc, they bat deep.

Agree. We were always going to come out the
gates hard, should have tempered it we've lost
3 big wickets. Smiths wicket was outside off
stump it looked like. Worthy of a review possibly.
Been brilliant fielding but depend on our middle
order again. The chase is doable, crowd is electric

Can see the Aussies crumbling now on this type of wicket.

Does ya glass need a top up?

 

[Buttface]

Where’s this bloody dew???

A couple if boundaries has evened it up.
It's a slow pace so if they loose a couple of wickets the pressure will mount.

 

[gallagher]

A couple of sound heads at the crease. I hope i havn't jinxed them

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Silly i didn't take the arbitrage.

Say $100 on Australia at $3 and $100 on India now at $2.60.

Yep, conversely if we keep ticking along and get the odd boundary the pressure will mount on them and the bad balls will come. And then there’s the dew, if it comes we are in the box seat.
My glass is pretty full thanks. 😁
Go Oz!!!

This partnership is a game changer.
