Difficult to see where another 260 is going to come from

 

[The Wizard]

Buttler gone, game over.

Really rate Nitin Menon.

Arse, there goes Malan. They’ve kept up with the RRR, but that’s just too many wickets down now.

Malan gone, game definitely over now. Some daft batting, RRR never got above 7....

Ali gone, that IS the game, shame, if he had still been around at 250 who knows?

 

[The Wizard]

It’s the hope that kills you... this is classic England...

 

[jakarta]

Ridiculously RRR is STILL under seven, ah well Rashid goes, Curran might as well go for a slog...

We are turning down too many singles so the rate is now too high.

Judging by Wood so far, it’s the correct decision to reject singles. Can’t pick a slower ball.

It’s a shame really, this score was really gettable, the top order let us down for once.

Whatever the result, the best ODI for a while.

Natarajan looks like he is SHITTING himself

Turning down the ones and twos has cost us the game.

Rubbish.

Protecting Wood and having the opportunity for Curran to then hit boundaries got us that close.

It was the top order not getting enough that cost the game (and some not brilliant bowling). Certainly not turning down the odd run to keep the better batter on strike

So frustrating seeing us NOT take so many singles in the Curran/Wood partnership. Wood was more than capable of getting Curran back on strike.

And we fell short by 7. Great effort but why do that?

It wasn’t just the odd run though was it.
