Would love to hear an explanation for why you’d bring Zampa (having an off night) in to face Miller for 2 power play overs and end up with Hazlewood (2-12 at 1.5 RPO) with 2 overs left to bowl.

Head was under bowled also.

Seems like a decent chap Patty, but he's a poor captain in the white ball stuff.

213 to win. This is not a repeat from 1999.

People will point to his results but it feels like we're winning despite his captaincy, not because of it

He's a poor captain full stop.

So SA batting first this tournament had gone 428, 311, 399, 382 and 356, and people's takeaway after we rolled them for 212 is Pat is a bad captain.

My takeaway is Starc is the goat and posters in this thread should be ashamed

Skull not looking confident.

Need one of the top 3 to fire and take the pressure off

Yep, not a fan of PC as captain in any form.

The thing that winds me up is when the commentators won’t stop praising him for going to Head who got a huge breakthrough (and that praise is justified!) but when Zampa comes back on and gets belted over the rope they won’t second guess the captain.

Bowling a side our cheaply doesn't mean you've got a good captain.

It was hard to bat on early and Starc and Hazlewood bowled well.

Tactically, he's poor.

Don't think he'd get a game if he wasn't captain (ODI's).

Wow!

Ponting questioned the decision to bring Zampa back to Miller.

 

[Farang83150]

What an over

 

[DanWCE]

Wow!

What an over

[Farang83150]

RRR 3.54. Enter Steve Smith.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I know Marsh doesn't start well against spin, but showing an intention to get his eye in against Markram then playing that shot first ball against Rabada? Stupidity.

 

[matthew_s]

How longs the new ball at the start from either end been going on?

about a decade

There goes an early night.
