If you're gonna claim Shane Bond then I'm claiming Gilchrist (while at the top of his game) is either still at the crease or is yet to come in  . In fact the phantom Slim IS Adam Gilchrist (much as it pains me to use an Aussie as a coounter to Shane Bond).Though I would say you are using the Manhatten graph in the wrong way by saying they have fallen behind the run rate required. What the Manhatten shows is that PS3s last 5 overs have been low scoring overs (but previous overs have been high scoring overs) and that has brought the RR down a bit, but who knows whether it's below the RRR. I don't think we know for sure, because we know the next power play is just about upon us so we know the RR is gonna go up, but only if the right batsmen are at the crease to take advantage of it (i.e. Slim Pricecut, and Grant Urismo). You Statesiders and Continental Europeans following this OK? |
They will have to do a lot to keep up with the next part of the Kiwi innings, especially as Jacob Oram had made quite a few big hits. They have some good batters at the crease but nothing is certain as the surface has taken a turn for the worse and its no longer such a good batting pitch. It will take some excellent work to keep wickets in hand and keep the required run rate from spiraling out of control over the next few overs.
Tease.
