Michael and I turned on the game as we booted the kids out the door for school. It was the last over of the England Innings. They had put up a decent score to chase of 166/4, we settled in for some cricket. Initially it did not look good for New Zealand, they lost a few wickets pretty early and things were just a bit slow. But, Mitchell and Conway had a pretty good partnership going and their total steadily climbed. It was still showing only a 17% chance of them winning well into the 2nd half of the inning. Then Neesham came in. And Jordan was bowling. And boy oh boy did the tide make an abrupt turn around. Neesham was only in for a few overs but he managed to earn 27 runs off of only 11 balls. And when he went out, Mitchell carried on as if his name was Neesham, he started cracking boundaries like no bodies business. So in the end, with 6 balls and 5 wickets remaining, New Zealand won, and we had to say goodbye to my captain. Its a sad sad day. I feel very vulnerable just now. no captain for these last two matches. Its so close, any of you people can surge ahead of me, well anyone but Sean. I'm getting out the super glue to try and hang on.
Australia / Pakistan tomorrow. No need for a captain, really, you'll be fine
Having a captain is my only hope. Fingers crossed I picked a good one.
ReplyDeleteA hugely disappointing game. I too will need a captain change. How could England let it slip like that! Admittedly there was some good play by NZ but I just felt that England lacked the fire required. They have a tendency to be polite and let the other side win. Arghhh! Interesting days ahead for Fantasy!
