Great work Finch.... bringing it home.

covered the cracks of the other shit our batsman dished up..

$2m for 2 meters of shit... That IPL owner must be happy with his investment..

Well after batting through the innings he needed to finish like that. 156 is probably not enough, him batting like a snail put pressure on all his batting partners.

Au contraire....

His partners early gave him stuff-all strike... got themselves out with dud shots...

He stayed in, gave us a chance that we otherwise wouldn’t have.

We are truly blessed having Wadey provide commentary from behind the stumps.
Can't wait for him to retire and become TV commentator

So it's up to his partners to give him the strike??? Ummm really??? Being our captain, opening batsman and most experienced batsman why wasn't he capable of taking control and farming the strike??? It's just futher proof he is all or nothing, it's either a 4 or 6 or nothing. He brought up an alomst run a ball 50 how is that on anybody else??? Luckily Jamieson bowled absolute poo the last over otherwise we would barely be defending 140.

Exactly. Funny to blame others for farming the strike when he can't fking run between the pegs.

It’s up to his partners to score runs ... and quickly..

you bagged him for batting like “a snail” and putting pressure on the others...

The others... particularly Philippe.. gave him next to no strike....

If they were scoring quick runs then not an issue.. but when they struggle, keep the strike.. then get out.. that ain’t Finch’s fault..

At one point he’d faced only 11 balls in the 6th over...

But yeah, blame Finch..

lol Phillpe is in his 4th game, and he came on when Satner was bowling an excellent spell. But blame a rookie while our captain was happy to bat for stumps. Guys like Maxwell and Stonis both came in and scored quickly while our captain crawled along putting pressure on the middle order. Both got out trying to lift the rate while he was doing an excellent personation of MS Red Ink.


Great catch and a well earnt wicket for this bloke
