**** this is a really entertaining game rendered basically unlistenable by how bad this commentary is

It's been really bad

Agree with Junior re the bowling tactics though. I know it's a boomer thing to say these days but can't help but feel that full on-pace yorkers looked like a better option

 

[Spikey]

another win for strike management

Huge game for us NGL. Marsh is captain and unlikely to be dropped and maxwell's T20 form has been up and down since the horribad IPL this year. Nice to see both get some runs.

Even that clip-ramp shot Maxwell played, huge in the context of the game, only just beats the fielder to the boundary, and Julian basically sounds like he's barely paying attention

i wrote this before they took 2 on the leg bye. maxy what are you doing

 

[Spark]

Yeah this is why Maxwell wanted to keep strike. Only way this game is lost is if he gets stuck down the other end

 

[Spark]

Never take the single again @ Maxwell

 

[Spikey]

looks like Spark and I haven't finished teaching Maxwell just yet

 

[TheJediBrah]

Ellis is a more reliable bat than Dwarshuis

edit: whoops

 

[Spark]

Maxwell should literally stand on his bat at the non-striker's end for this last ball. Don't even bother moving

Handy little double-wicket maiden in the 19th.

 

[Spikey]

zampa playing that shot and then trying to run a single is exactly why we preach strike management. bowlers are stupid

 

[Spark]

Holy **** Zampa where the **** do you think you're going

 

[Bahseph]

I’ve enjoyed this series. It’s helped that both teams have been almost full strength as well.

 

[Spikey]

Handy little double-wicket maiden in the 19th.

it hurts, but this is like the perfect example of why strike management before the 20th over is so important.

it's annoying because Maxwell had practised it and then threw it away.

 

[Bahseph]

I see why Shukri likes Bosch. Clearly saw something that wasn’t there in his stats.

 

[Spikey]

we're so back

 

[Spark]

Geez he's missed that yorker by maybe 10cm at most
