We need the 2 Mats before they reach our score and the game is ours.

Where's Gurbaz?
He's a white ball specialist. The guy missing is Ibrahim Zadran...he had a longish injury layoff of several weeks but is now in the BPL.

Blessing has bowled averagely and has 2 wickets. If he could land that ugly area 5 out of 6 he'd be amazing.
Jusdging from cricinfo looks like all the seamers have bowled short and wide too often. Looks like a lot of cuts square of the wicket to point and backward of point.

Our seamers literally bowl one or two challenging deliveries per over. They're all inconsistent.

He isn't. Played a test recently. Would have been playing if he wasn't injured.

Really surprised they can't persuade Gurbaz to play 5 day, he's unbelievable.

Totally in the bag is this :lol: :lol: soon as we got that 86 run lead I thought so and now the bowlers have kept the foot on the gas.

Old raz dawg justifying his place with some wickets and a decent knock. Played the pull shot well, let off holing out :lol: them’s the breaks. Only saw him bring it out like three times other than that, rolling his wrists to keep it down. His game isn’t in question, his integrity is after the Faraz shenanigans :lol:

Williams absolutely nails with that run a ball knock with his slipped discs :lol: most heroic performance I’ve ever seen :lol:

Ervine very measured, just what we needed.

Bowling good, keeping the pressure on. Got all the time in the world.

We got them right where we want them to be! Newman really is coming of age, exciting to see U19 making the step up, promising stuff! Whats the news on Brad Evans now, will he feature in any of the local stuff happening in the next few weeks?
