can't believe we blew that

[WCE2000]

We had the chance to be chasing 220-230, now its 275.
Can't believe Shane Lee took Thompson off at the end there. I was really happy to see Thompson did well, because ive been rallying for 6 months for him to a run in the team.

I think the logic behind it was that Clark would be more likely to take wickets than Thompson. Unfortunately Clark doesn't take many wickets, and his bowling today was generally a bit short, which resulted in Moody edging all those runs off him at the start. In his last over, Clark got carted for 21 runs by bowling a mixture of half volleys and short balls.
I thought Nash was underbowled, and Lee should have used Nash to try to bowl WA out after about the 44th over. They didn't necessarily have to get Hussey out. Had they got Harvey out, it wouldn't have taken much to get out the last two. (Williams is a slogger, and Spencer and Angel are mugs with the bat).

he shouldn't of taken Thompson of at all. he was a best bowler behind Lee and he only got 4 overs, it was redicolous.

What was wrong with the crowd today? They were booing whenever certain fieldsmen fielded the ball or when they were bowling. I know the umpiring decision with the runout or four was a bit of a miss, but the crowd behaviour seemed to be not in the spirit of cricket. Perhaps it was just worse on TV.

I was at the game, and the crowd were booing every time Bradstreet went near the ball and cheering when the Warriors scored a run off him. It was the crowd's way of letting him know that he should have admitted that it was in fact a four. Luckily for him, he didn't have to go out & bat!
The sad thing for Bradstreet is, if it hadn't been a 4, it was a fantastic piece of fielding!
