That’s it from me for today. Thanks to Jonathan Howcroft for his sublime steering of the good ship OBO in the earlier session and thanks to you for tuning in.
Next up in the CWC is New Zealand v Bangladesh tomorrow followed by a truly unmissable sporting occasion – India v Pakistan at the 130,000 seater stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday - reckon that one might be a full house. Goosebumps on your goosebumps. Until then, goodnight!
Here comes a rather stern faced Pat Cummins, he’s probably just had a peek at that Minus 1.85 Net Run Rate…
Quinny batted really well but we were happy with keeping them to 310, we felt it was a chaseable score. It looked like hard work out there tonight, it zipped around now plenty but we were well off the mark.
If we want to be challenging for this tournament you’ve got to adapt to all conditions. Not much needs to be said tonight, everyone’s hurting. We’ve got a few days until the next game and we’ll try to make amends.
With that he lopes off into the Lucknow night. Plenty to ponder for Pat.
Since taking a 2-0 series lead in South Africa at the start of September, Australia's men have lost 7 of their next 8 ODIs 😬
