Windies Cricket

[hornetrider]

Looks like they're prancing around in pajamas today.

WI 77/4 off 27. Seems rather sedate.

[Bit of a Unit]

I am staggered at the shambles England have become. Collingwood is fielding in a shirt borrowed from the crowd as he has been named as an emergency sub and they didn't have any shirts without names!!

[Amirhussain]

Collingwood? I thought he retired?....

[Bit of a Unit]

Injuries.....called up from his coaching role as 12th man

[Amirhussain]

Ah my bad, thanks.

[Amirhussain]

So 270 to win then, Dwayne Bravo, Simmons and Sammy all chipping in with half centuries, pretty good score actually, at one point they were 153 for 5.

Bresnan picking up 3 wickets, but did concede 68 runs in his 10 overs.

Looking forwards to Moeen Ali, his the cousin of Kabir Ali, who played for England a few times.

[hornetrider]

Quite how we coughed up 270 when they were 150 off 40 I have no idea. Chasing 50 too many methinks.

[Leithen]

Good to see Curtly Ambrose and Richie Richardson knighted.

[Gargamel]

all I know is I cannot listen to TMS when pringle is commentating, he is awful.


Should beat this lot, why didn't Broad man up and bowl at the death, this is why bowlers shouldn't be captains.

[Amirhussain]

Thought England were gonna win easy peasy

[Amirhussain]

All over, England gave it away, West Indies win by 15 runs.

[Gargamel]

All seemed a bit bloodless.

Still look woefully short of confidence, had two strong positions in that game

110 after 24 overs

and having the WI looking like a 230 score.

Letting teams back into the game seems to be becoming a habit

[hornetrider]

Garbage in garbage out.

[Amirhussain]

I blame Pietersen.

[BlackLabel]

Oh well at least the dressing room is united. Minor things like match results don't really matter.

2nd ODI today possibly unchanged team for England , WI may add another spinner . Let's hope England come up with another plan at the death , broad admitted the plan of bowling wide yorkers didn't work. I would like to see Wright to fire coming from a good BBL he has disappointed in the games in oz and WI so far , with no Morgan we need him.

[Amirhussain]

West Indies struggling again, 83-4 after 24

[hornetrider]

I await the joy of seeing how we can contrive to royally fk this one up.

[Amirhussain]

West Indies skittled out for 159, should be a comfortable run chase, but then again.....

[SydneyBridge]

Well played. Surely a simple run chase. I hope!
