    157-0, 28 overs

    Ali 97 (89)
    Bell 50 (80)
  • Run him out Ali..

    A decent club cricketer would be capable of pushing these bowlers into the gap and getting a run! A strike rate of 50 Is soo poor against this attack!

    If we send ballance in next I will lose all hope! Has to be Butler or Morgan...

    Second ball of next over goes for six.

    Ali gets to 103 n/o from 91.
  • Bumble gets it right "get on with it" run rate has to rise.. For the sake of net run rate we need to score 350 and against this attack it's not hard!

    Ten wickets in hand, got to play a 20/20 innings from here and get up to 350 minimum.

  • The inability to hit the gap and run has annoyed me for years... but this innings from bell has got me really fuming! Why did I stay up for this!!?

    That's done it for me! Right royally pissed off.. I'm off to bed if he score's a hundred off 70 or less balls ill eat my hat my shoe and my coat!
  • Anyone other than ballance it just had to be! We have twenty overs left need another 170-200 Ideally for net run rate! We're not gonna win this by boring them to deatg! A decent side would score 500 against this attack!

    Thank god we have Ali, if it was Cook we would be on 100 by now.
    Bell 46 dot balls and only 2 4's.
  • I'm afraid for Bell, Ballance, Morgan etc it's all about the fear of losing and most of all not getting out.
