It was pretty clear that none of our guys had much of an idea how to approach this innings -- bar those two. Symonds got out to a bit of bad luck, just overbalanced, and Hodge wasn't out. We should've batted second...Batting second is definitely easier on this pitch.
I’m more concerned on how quickly Lee gets hit to the boundary.
It'll be interesting to see all the people who've previously called T20 nothing but a joke take a sudden interest in the game though.
Anywhere else and I would agree but batting under lights is extremely difficult in Cape Town.
Whats Scottlands excuse then? They play plenty of twenty 20 yet still they batted like fools, trying to clear the boundary all the time instead of hitting it!
Unlike us, they know how the pitch is playing, they know they can take it easy early on, get their eye in...We thought we had to get in and smash the hell out of it. Which was proven to be very wrong and we realised that after about 5 overs. They have it easier.
Do they? Captain Watson played his first ever 20/20 game today…
Yep. Which is why Hilfy and Hogg would've been handy today.
Or maybe not ...Australia looking to score 400 against Zimbabwe 'ere...
Oh, and being rubbish.cricinfo said:
