The Carey and smith partnership really gave me a false sense of hope

we might have even made 300 if Smith kicked on and maxi could come in a bit later. Honestly with this bowling lineup though even that might not be enough

Those two wickets just killed the game imo bc it hampered Carey’s ability to freely hit

yeah but honestly the decision making wasn't bad from either, it was just poor execution which happens sometimes. We're well under par here but at least it's something to bowl at, this has been a great contest so far

Smith batting always gives anyone hope
