Up the Guts

Kohli has matured a lot since he received the captaincy, although I think he was always a good guy just extremely competitive. I have a lot of respect for what he did for Smith yesterday.
^ I've always thought he was a bit of a dick. Seems I may need to revise my opinion.
Yeah that's a bit of spanking and a wake up call for our guys. You need to get into that Indian batting order early or they make you pay. I think you need to throw the kitchen sink at them in the first few overs, before they get settled.
Someone asked me the other day "why are they playing in a place where it always rains?" Obviously, SA did themselves no favours losing 3 in a row but it's not great having even the slimmest of chances killed by the weather.
FFS another washout. Fuck cricket in England sometimes. Schedule the tournament a month later or something. How many days in the domestic season do they lose I wonder?
334 on the board for us against Sri Lanka. Big innings from Finch, 153, supported by Smith, 73, with Maxwell playing a cameo at the end 46 (25). You'd think that would be enough but still I reckon we left a few out there.
