Honestly when philip started the over in my head i was thinking gutsy but right call. At the start of over i didnt think it was a bad call at all. 

My mind went "NOOOOOOOOOOOO.." > If anyone that has seen Jacks in the last few matches that is the last thing you would do. Of all the people he had at his disposal Ferguson, HEnry, Santner himself that was the worst choice. YOu can hear Faf talking about. Basically santner did not analyze risk reward . He was overly focused on long boundary short boundary et al. He could have killed the game had he bowled himself or used Ferguson.

we in the end it was a poor decision. would be a shame if Pak reaches semis just by beating SL and few associates.

SKY won an important toss, took a great catch. 

 

Hope he plays a good cameo against Eng like he did in 2024 SF. And keep being lucky, luck is often underrated. 

100%

 

Winning toss crucial now.

Lucky captain is always better than great captain.

Luck abandoned us in 2012, 14, 16 T20 WCs. We were good enough to win 1-2 of those tourneys. 

 

Luck's importance is often underrated in cricket where conditions play such a big role.

Players look lethargic. Under MSD in 2011 people think it was all luck, accident. You should look at the intensity of each and every one in that world cup. Even average fielders looked like tigers. in 2011 semi final Munaf was touching close to 145k in that mohali match against Pakistan. Suddenly there was a collectiveness. Even in first IPL final. Ntini was touching close to 150k. Seering pace, they were fielding like guns.SKY is unable to bring that collective intensity out of the players. Misfields have to be met with stares and glares on the field. That is what captains have to do to keep them focused right through the match.
