00:00Joining me in the commentary box for this match is Tony Gregg.
00:02You were out in the middle earlier. Tony, how does the pitch look?
00:05Well, thanks, Jonathan. This is a pretty good pitch.
00:08There won't be any great movement for the seam bowlers,
00:10but there might be just enough if they can bowl in the right place.
00:13There could be some spin from the start,
00:15but certainly later on the ball will begin to turn more.
00:17For the batsmen, if they play sensibly,
00:19there are some big scores to be had out there.
00:21This is definitely a good post to lose.
00:36I can see the captains are on their way out to the middle
00:38for the crucial toss, so let's see what happens.
00:47Never an easy choice to field first, but that's what they're doing.
00:50They can grab a couple of early wickets.
00:52The decision will be vindicated.
00:54Well, we've been looking forward to this match for a while,
00:56and it looks like we're about to get underway.
00:57The opening batsmen have a vital job.
00:59Their goal must be to see off the opening box.
01:05How important is it for a team to have an all-rounder these days, Tim?
01:09Well, I might be a little bit biased.
01:11Confident appeal.
01:12Ouch! What a mess. There was never a run there.
01:18Let's take another look at that in Reaper.
01:26Straight at the fielder, and that's it.
01:32Let's look at that again.
01:43Let's look at that again.
01:44Brilliant timing.
01:47On a pitch like this, I feel for the barbers.
01:49There really is no margin for error.
01:51Now you're doing the penalty block.
02:14In front of the game.
02:15That they didn't bring to the room.
02:23That's when I'm looking for two.
02:26Picks up here.
02:29Terrific shot.
02:33He still didn't build with that one.
02:34That was a cracking shot.
02:36He really got into position beautifully there.
02:48There's a fielder underneath it.
02:55Run from another angle.
02:57Fancy a crasher on the new bathroom.
03:05No runs off that delivery.
03:25What would you say makes a really great fast boulder then, Tony?
03:56A really great fast baller.
04:26He's dropped it.
04:30He'd be disappointed not to have held onto that run.
04:32Very good over.
04:33Only one off it in the end.
04:34He didn't just get his hands in the right place at all.
04:36No run.
04:43Edge to slip.
04:44Oh, he's dropped it.
04:48Must have taken his eye off it at the last moment.
04:58Straight at the fielder, and that's us.
05:05Let's take a look at that in replay.
05:18New bats went in for Kenya.
05:35Oh, great shot.
05:37The baller might just have to put a little into it.
05:40He was onto that in a flash.
05:52That's one coming back for two.
05:56That's a confident appeal.
05:57The umpire isn't having any of it.
06:20How important is it to have a decent spinner in the team, Tony?
06:22Having a decent spinner in the team is vital.
06:25In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the ideal situation was to have two spinners in the
06:29side.
06:29We've certainly seen...
06:32Catch him!
06:34Oh no!
06:35He's got him!
06:36That breakthrough now exposes the tail.
06:38That's an important...
06:42Beautiful time.
06:45That was a fine shot for four.
06:47Four more.
06:50That was a confident shot.
07:04That was a confident shot.
07:07One more.
07:13When he went to the front line.
07:38right out of the top drawer
07:41he's picked that up
07:42and six
07:43that really does get the bowlers back up
07:45no bowler likes being in six

10:02beautiful timing
10:08well the bottle won't like that do much
10:10well the bottle won't like that do much

10:25that's when we're looking for two
10:30big appeal
10:31that could be out
10:32it is
10:33that's a terrible ball
10:34he left his part in the high-end driver
10:37let's have a look at that from another angle
10:38let's have a look at that
10:50let's have a look at that
11:07so
11:13Let's have a look at that again.
11:25So, new batsmen at the crease.
11:58That brings the innings to a close. He's getting a polite round of applause as he makes his way to
12:02the perimeter.
12:04They have to keep it tight and wait for the starts.
12:21Let's look at that again.
12:31New bat.
12:34Lovely shot.
12:39That is a textbook shot.
12:41Absolutely effortless. He hardly seemed to hit.
12:44This over is proving to be quite expensive.
13:05Let's take a look at that from another angle.
13:15That's a really good shot.
13:16And the umpire has given it.
13:18That was absolutely good. No doubt about that.
13:21That's out. No doubt about that.
13:22Let's take a look at that from another angle.
13:29I wonder what more guy made of that.
13:35So, left hand, right hand pairing at the crease now.
13:47That's one coming back for two.
14:04That was four runs as soon as he hit.
14:06Oh, what can I say?
14:07Oh, what can I say? He looks in time for under there.
14:08Oh, what can I say? He looks in time for under there.
14:09Lula really needs to keep it tighter.
14:14That really is an expensive one.
14:23That's one coming back for two.
14:26That's one coming back for two.
14:27That's one who changed their minds.
15:01That's 12 conceded in the over.
15:19How important is it to have a decent spinner in the team, Tony?
15:22Having a decent spinner in the team is vital.
15:24In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the ideal situation was to have two spinners in the
15:28side.
15:29We've certainly seen recently the Australians play two leg spinners.
15:33Ouch! No, he dropped it!
15:40That really is very disappointing for the bowler.
15:43That is so annoying for the bowler.
15:45I would want to be in the field of shoes when they get back into the pavilion.
15:57Great timing on the shot.
16:00Four more.
16:01Now I reckon that's a good moral eye for the bowler.
16:02What do you mean?
16:08Great shot.
16:11For four.
16:12Great shot.
16:13That'll give him some confidence.
16:15He hit that with great power.
16:31The baton picks up one more.
16:45The baton picks up one more.
16:55It's gone down.
16:59They'll be gutted to have put that one down.
17:05Brilliant timing.
17:09Four all the way.
17:10Now I reckon that's a good moral eye for the bowler, but he needs to bounce back quickly.
17:20Oh, he's cropped it!
17:26The fielding team may regret that.
17:37Great shot.
17:40That's just the kind of shot that makes the fielding cap look at his hair out.
17:44Very early.
17:44Splendid stroke.
17:54Dropped it.
17:57The fielding team will regret that.
17:59He'll be so disappointed with that.
18:00He did the hard part in getting to the ball.
18:03That's a chance wasted.
18:15Another run onto the scoreboard.
18:23There might be trouble here.
18:26There's potential weaknesses to him.
18:28Well, I'm not so sure about that.
18:30As far as I'm concerned, if you have a strength, that's an advantage.
18:33If every now and again that cover drive leads to an outside edge, which ends up in the hands of
18:39slips, well, I mean, so be it.
18:40But he's going to miss out on a lot of boundaries, had he given away that strength.
18:54Well, that's a wonderful shot.
18:55He looks in great shape up there.
18:57He really looks in good mix of that.
18:58He picked the length really early there.
19:05It's an edge.
19:07It's an edge.
19:32Big shot.
19:34Big shot.
19:36Not out.
19:37Let's have a look at the action replay.
19:44Let's have a look at that in Hawkeye.
19:56Well, that's a cracking shot.
19:59He's found again.
20:01He's not going to miss out on gifts like that.
20:03Well, it's playing to the crowd now.
20:15Another over goal.
20:16Another over goal.
20:46That team coming back for two.
20:49Mix up between the batsmen.
21:05He's got a bit excited by the chance of a run out there.
21:11A better throw would definitely have asked questions of the batsmen.
21:21Edge to slip.
21:47That's four from the over.
21:52Top quality shot.
21:54That was a mighty hit.
21:56Well, you can't set fields for shots like that.
21:58Brilliant.
21:59I thought that was going to join us in the commentary box.
22:17Right out of the top draw.
22:21And a cracking shot.
22:22That's what he looks in fantastic form.
22:26A beautifully timed shot for four.
22:42Well, that's a cracking shot.
22:46It looks very quick.
22:47Quite right, too.
22:48I think he's got a place to catch the speed of which he's dismantled.
23:08That's it.
23:09It's all over.
23:10Well done to the winning team.
23:11They really seem to enjoy playing this 2020 ritual.
23:14Well done to the winning team.
23:15Well done.
23:23I'm not sure.
23:23I'm going to get to the winning team.
23:23No, no, no.
23:26I'm not sure.
23:27I'm not sure.
23:27I'm not sure.
23:27I'm not sure.
