What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAbbas Afridi hit five straight sixes off Krunal Pandya, and the first over cost India thirty-one runs.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFive in a row sounds like a lot. Is that a lot?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAn innings is six overs. Thirty-one runs in one of them. That's a sixth of the game, gone before the snacks.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIndia were bowled out for eighty-eight for five, Pakistan chased it in three and a half overs, and won by four wickets.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the whole national crisis lasted less time than the pregame show. I'd call that an efficient result.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorPandya also went out for a golden duck earlier in the match.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorFans are slamming him and Nitish Rana, who made nineteen off fourteen balls before being retired out.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYahoo says some of that criticism goes beyond the facts. I'd call it passionate feedback, delivered at volume.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorShashank Singh hit forty off eleven balls, and I bet nobody is posting about that.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIndia batted six overs, Pakistan needed three and a half, and the backlash is still batting.
