we bat pretty deep
Do we?
on paper.
Bracewell goes with an even dumber shot than Mitchell. Ridiculous.
Last over. 20 needed with one in hand. Santner has been sensational.
Does Shepherd play Rugby ? certainly wouldn't look out of place in a number 8 jersey.
Honestly, we're a terrible T20 side at this point. We're not aggressive enough and also not that good.
Batting first tonight.
45/0 from 5.
I’ve liked the look of Robinson in his short time in the team. Seems to have the power of Finn Allen, but plays more genuine cricket strokes with less risk, rather than being an out and out hell for leather hitter.
Conway looks to be really out of form. Playing and missing or finding the edge a lot, hitting to the fielders when he does get one.
Conway misses one too many, stumps knocked over.
Probably best for the team, coz there’s been way to many dot balls with him there.
30 runs from the last 6 overs, where’s the intent and urgency?
Are our batters all out of form or do we just suck at T20… both I suspect.
Ravindra trying to join in, and gone.
He had to go big or go out though to be fair… wasted 15 balls for his 11.
Tim Seifert is a big loss in the batting order. You might as well open with Hay given Conway's form.
Wow Chapman has raced to 50 from just 19 balls.
He really seemed to struggle for his first 12-15 runs, gone nuts since.

Think he went from something like 12 off 11 then notched up 50 in 19 balls!
Chapman goes with a game changing 78 from 28.
Need one of the middle order to cash in and put the icing on it.
207/5, a good total in the end.
I think we were 70 or so after 10, so bloody impressive to score 130+ in the last 10.
Mitchell & Santner finished the innings well after Chapmans fireworks.
I remember them saying Santner was the biggest hitter in the team a long time ago which surprised me. Seems he's finally realising some of that potential, he's been belting it around lately

Surely it’s Neesham when he actually connects meaningfully
Imagine needing 16 an over to win and you have to face Mitch Santner, who rocks in and bowls 2/6 from his first 2 overs.
Great bowling, from both him and Sodhi, who’s 3/26 from 3.
Fuck now Santner being pumped, 6,6.
That missed catch where Robinson and Chapman stopped and looked at each other on the boundary and watched the ball bounce over the rope between them now looking very costly.
Timely wicket, great catch Bracewell.
52 needed from 18.
For some reason Jamieson coming in to bowl at the death scares me.
That might be why… 6 first up.
30 from 12.
We are in trouble, these guys are hitting 6’s at will.
Our death bowling has been trash.
They are coasting home. We can't keep playing Jamieson in this form, the numbers don't stack up at all
