Still has a huge job to do. At least 20 overs left.

toss up between Wellie and Raza imo. I'd take Raza though.

That was going down leg. These umpires are full of shit. Always spoil a good game. They've been biased for 4 days. Some critical decisions they've made.

Its a bit weird because Ervine bowled Wellie constantly and he surely wouldn't do that if he wasn't going to play, he'd have given Bennett and Madhevere more overs. But if both Raza and Wellie play then who sits out?

This is a good opportunity for Richie to actually put a value on his wicket. A first for everything.

Way too much to ask. C'mon Richie, you're surely better than that.

Appaling decision that. The umpires really have been biased.

Welch played himself in today. They will have to drop Wellie here. Raza with his attacking spin might get us crucial breakthroughs and he can keep it tight just like Wellie, but he is also a better batting option. That will have to be the reasoning if he plays.

Ya NW was on the block there, may well still be, you just dont know with these guys.

These doddering old second string umpires influence far too many games. The biggest mistake you csn make at club or county level is talk to them at the non strikers end. The second they hear that zim/saffer accent it triggers them. Also if you sledge and they hear that accent you're fucked when you bat.
If only Elon Musk was a cricketer and developed an AI robot to make every single umpire redundant this would be a much better game. These fools can mess up guys' careers..and regularly do. Make all the robot umpires look like Trump to further trigger the right people.
