No thought of Phillips using his feet - just stands on the crease and flails
Yup, just appalling batting
Oz are bowling well gotta give them that but we are doing nothing to upset them. Charge down the pitch do something -

Even 4s aren’t enough now

And Phillips. How many dot balls has he given up? Just stands there and lets them bowl a wide line. No thought to change his stance or anything

Man, we're a class below.
Actually, several classes.
Just can't force it.
Our batting lineup with Williamson, Mitchell, Conway and Ravindra is not up to much.
To be honest I think I knew that already.
Chapman is very disappointing. I think it is time we gave up on him and tried a new bit part player. That is especially so given he doesn't bowl any more.

Yeah ... 4x15 = 60... only need 55
That was allowing for 2 or 3 dots in each over..

6 x 8
Shame we aren’t facing The Bangledesh 2nd XI we might have had a chance

Would have preferred Clarkson to get a bat given it's a dead rubber but no the send in Seifert at 3....
Could have been worse could have been Santner again
Apart from game 1 our batting has been woeful
Bowling okish (Ferguson brilliant) but the catching and batting.. -
Jeez 98/3 off 10 is a pretty decent innings. Not incredible but not abysmal. The margin was so big because our bowling and fielding was shocking. The batting had an awful night in game 2 but the I think it was good in game 1 and acceptable in game 3.
I don't agree that we've bowled well. We bowled okay in the second half of game two (Ferguson was excellent), but the rest of the series we were bad, although the dropped catches are a big part of that too.
The fielding hasn't been good enough, but that's the bit that's easiest to fix so hopefully that will be fixed for the T20 world cup.
