Crucket

After so many dismal ODI showings in the last few weeks, who would have thought that it could all come together so well in one game.

It was nice to see the message about partnerships getting through in the previous game against the Warriors, but the 95-run Guptill-Taylor partnership was the only good thing to come out of that match. But this morning, we had some decent partnerships, then a wagging tail and then some unholy destruction with the ball. 103-run victory.

But, let’s not read too much into this. Given the terrible performances of late, this win could just be a fluke. However, it does make the Champions Trophy more interesting because of the possibility of another fluke.
