This is why I don't rate Raza...this is a BIG game and he's already offered 2 chances in 8 runs. And its not from unplayable balls either.

So disappointing. We really needed Williams here. We've played some very poor shots today. I know it's not over until it's over but unless we get a minimum of 280, we aren't winning this.

Time for Burl to produce some magic

WI have brought their A game. Eeish
B+ game, I reckon. Their ground fielding, body language, intent, and planning have been fantastic. But their dropped catches take away the gloss.

Theres a good point. Raza and williams don't like pace.

Ya youre right they've spilt a couple of chances but they've made up for it

We'd be lucky to get to 250 here. We're going to need something massive against Sri Lanka.

Not sure how to play this now. I'd recognise the need for caution but at the same time this is a must win game, and runs are needed. Ervine getting out the way he did was a big blow. Madhevere doesn't seem to have the bottle which has shown. Tossing your wicket off without even trying to get yourself in is not good enough

One has to wonder if Larry's and Wes' selection was made higher up. Sounds stupid but it was surprising.

This bowling attack is showing where we are at as a unit.
We are not bad at all, but just off the pace of the bigger teams.

They just have to keep playing positively with a bit of risk here and there and hope these two can take it to the 45th over. We're in trouble as usual

I still think in the absence of Ballance or any other guy that can secure the 3 berth that Burl could fill this role.
