Richard Ngarava good improvement has worked on line length. Now he needs to put some speed in his bowling.

The don also had a good game. I guess the trick is knowing which pitches will suit him and which he will get anilated on.

only issue is this isnt boxing when you can pick and choose location and opponent.
But yes, better than that mumba rubbish.

You can chose location and opponent. I would less likely plan the don in aus or India for example.

why were only two wickwts allowed?
why wasnt babar able to come on?
Those are the rules for super over. They can send out who they like, they decided on two bangers.

I really don't get us sending Raza out when we need three and we've got two front line batters. It was a happy ending but Raza is a loose cannon.

Can someone confirm if they only get a tie for the World Cup points? So only 5 and not 10. If so, why play the Super Over?

Id say a few shat themselves in the dressing room.

Also more pointedly, we needed singles and Raza is fast.

Willo and Erv maybe a bit too conventional for this and Wes is young. And you wouldnt use the two dropkicks at top.

Yeah, very true. I reckon he's third in line after Jarvis and Chatara, but there is a uniqueness to him and I don't think KJ or TC would have got us over the line in that situation.

Terrific game though, a 5-fer in Pakistan (plus a super-over and a pseudo-hattrick). And Williams was outstanding.

Chisoro - what a stinker of a match. He cost us probably 20 runs in the field, so many mistakes including the laziest effort imaginable at the end.

Overall, an exciting and entertaining finish. It is really disappointing not to get the win in the final over though because I'm pretty sure the history books will just treat this as a tied match rather than a win. Super over stuff is just useful in the scheme of the Super League (so we'll take it). But it does make for a good spectacle.

I was thinking it would be Williams, Taylor, Raza in that order for the super over. I was a little bit surprised they sent Raza out first but it all worked out thankfully.
