Now we just have to show up

[Damo]

Now for the main event of the evening.

[Canes4life]

Allen goes already. Smart by Sri Lanka to start off with spin.

[Donsteppa]

This start + our long batting tail = ominous.

[Chris]

Choke coming out of the Semis

[LABCAT]

When he's not on, it's super frustrating watching Williamson play T20's, hopefully something clicks for him soon.

Nice reverse jinx!

[Donsteppa]

Kane's short format form seems almost beyond jinxing back to the good times...

[nzzp]

Is Foster coaching this crew now?

15/3

[hydro11]

Phillips gets a life.

[Damo]

Wasn't a great shot from Phillips. Hit it straight to the man.

He only seems to show up when there's lots of money about....

No. But despite the crazy wet weather in OZ they managed to transport the dry powder from Melbourne to Sydney.

There will be learnings!

[hydro11]

Sri Lanka are so sloppy in the field.

[Damo]

Probably need 10 an over from these last 8 minimum. Pitch doesn't look that easy to play so 150 might be enough.

[Canes4life]

Is this bowling even legit?

[LABCAT]

Philips hitting quite a few balls that would be wides if he let them through.

[No Quarter]

Phillips is the only player that's managed to find any timing to tonight, thank fuck they dropped him twice

[Canes4life]

Should get atleast 160 from here which will put us in a great position. I think losing our top three for pretty much nothing could be a blessing. We know what Allen and Conway can do when they get going, hopefully Williamson can spark his game. With Phillips and Mitchell behind them we have a beautifully balanced top 5 IMO. Hopefully we can put it all together in the playoffs.
