It could go either way, damn wot a match! thandamilk could have been out under 150 then at other stage he could have gone over 250, same with me i could have lost the game by 50 runs but patience and bad bowling by australia spinner cost the match!
Really was one of the best matches I've played. In a game where spinners have been ridiculed to death - your handling of the spinner made the difference in the game. I just couldn't accelerate in the last 7-8 overs and ended with a score at least 25-30 short of what I should've gotten.
And what a chase. You really were in a spot of bother at 6 down with less than 100 on the board. What an innings by Pietersen though - the best I've run up against so far in the tourney. Very well played mate - this was an absolute classic.
This loss really puts me in a spot of bother as far as super sixes are concerned. Your match against Krish (think he was all out for 24 - WHAT happened there???) will really hurt me if it comes down to run rate. For that though, I first need to win my last game!
