Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I was working during the day, then just to cap it all off....
Adelaide: Australia captain Aaron Finch cited another sloppy fielding performance from his team and his own inability to build a decent start with the bat as factors in why India claimed a decisive victory in the opening match of the Twenty20 series.

India posted 3-188 after being made to bat first at Adelaide Oval, a total inspired by Virat Kohli's 90 not out from 55 deliveries.

Finch (44 off 33) and Steve Smith (21 off 14) were the only batsmen to reach 20 on the way to Australia being bowled out for 151 in the final over. Spinners Ravindra Jadeja and R. Ashwin claimed 4-49 between them.

Finch was unhappy Australia gave two lives to opener Rohit Sharma in the powerplay: on 4 by Kane Richardson on the fine-leg boundary and on 23 by Cameron Boyce at short third-man. He cited them as a reason Australia had to chase 189, rather than a total closer to 170.

"When you're bowling against someone like Virat Kohli, who's in red-hot nick at the moment, and (Suresh) Raina was striking them nicely, it was always going to be hard. But we didn't help ourselves with our catching. It's something we've serious got to look at. It's two games in a row now, in two different formats, that it's let us down," said Finch, in reference to how Australia also lost the final match of the one-day series on Sunday in Sydney.
But thanks Bill.

Raina was stroking them nicely, it was always going to be hard
That's not cricket!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I don't know if it's cricket or not, but it sure sounds pornographic!
