England [258/5] beat West Indies [356/5] by 6 runs (DLS) in the fourth ODI to take 3-0 series lead

[hadi123]

This game may be overshadowed by what has happened to Ben Stokes but there is still a series to be won for England. Roy likely to come straight in for Hales for England.

35/3

 

[rahulrulezz]

Can someone tell why MSamuel keeps getting chances. The bugger flopped in every match in CPL and IPL, has a superstar ego, and if it wasn't for Braitwate, Windies wouldn't win the T20 match.

WI - 159/4 (30.2 Ovs)

 

[UN talkz]

Nice decision... holder promotes himself

 

[UN talkz]

Lewis racing towards century....
waiting for him to unleash his BEAST mode....

 

[Amirforpresident]

Evan Lewis is GOLD. This guy is a beast in 20- and 50 over cricket.
Just needs to be more consistent.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Lewis will do well in tests too imo. He is a proper batsman.

Lewis on Beast mode now

Lewis on Beast mode now

He is running riot now...wow
Holder playing well

Holder

Holder

Windies on

 

[Protea Fan]

WI need to finish it better

 

[UN talkz]

150 for Lewis......

 

[UN talkz]

Four more.....
200 coming up guys... [MENTION=143023]SarfiBabarHaris[/MENTION]

 

[RobinJay]

Some magnificent hitting by Lewis and the captain!

 

[Mobashir]

Can Lewis go for the double hundred...

 

[James]

Brian Lara's commentary on Test Match Special very much reflects his batting style. Smug, arrogant and self-important. He is absolutely loving the sycophancy in the press box.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Had Evin Lewis not got injured he could have got 200.

But a brilliant comeback by WI from 33-3.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Great total by the Windies. Think England will lose a couple of early wickets before rallying and getting close to the winning mark.

 

[Suleiman]

Hope WI win. And I hope that jobber Kieron Pollard watched every single ball of Evan Lewis's innings. He prevented him from a 100 in CPL, so Lewis went out on a bigger stage to make a 100, a stage which Kieron Pollard isn't even qualified to be a janitor for.

 

[Robert]

England building a platform......

 

[Syed1]

Easy win for Angrez

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Pathetic bowling by WIs. England have taken no risks at all yet are still cruising here.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Pathetic bowling by WIs. England have taken no risks at all yet are still cruising here.

It's not pathetic bowling. 3 of 4 of their pacers are test bowlers. It's the team selection that's pathetic.

 

[Protea Fan]

Stokes will be missed today

 

[Protea Fan]

Time for buttler to unleash the beast in him

Perfect platform to get back into form...

 

[Suleiman]

Joe Root is no Virat Kohli.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Great bowling, great catch.

 

[HitWicket]

You know you're having a bad day when you get caught by a diving Chris Gayle.

 

[Markhor]

5 for Joseph, 5 for the West Indies.

 

[JaDed]

It's not pathetic bowling. 3 of 4 of their pacers are test bowlers. It's the team selection that's pathetic.

Who shouldn't have played? Always had expectations of Joseph since the U-19,still long way to go.

 

[CanadianG00se]

Has England ever managed to chase 350+ before?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Who shouldn't have played? Always had expectations of Joseph since the U-19,still long way to go.

Taylor and Cummins. Holder should be playing as a batsman. Ronsford should've been in the squad. Gabriel, Alzarri and Ronsford the three seamers.

 

[HitWicket]

Has England ever managed to chase 350+ before?

Chased 350 dead on (in 44 overs for 3 wickets) against NZ a couple of years back.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Dude, why are you bowling spin to their most destructive batsmen against spin?

 

[CanadianG00se]

Chased 350 dead on (in 44 overs for 3 wickets) against NZ a couple of years back.

If these two batsmen( Butler and Ali) stay on crease for another 10-12 overs then this could be second instance England will chase 350+

 

[Ab Fan]

Ali seems in mood.

 

[Leo23]

terrific counter attack by moeen. england favorites again.

 

[CanadianG00se]

Seriously why exactly is M Samuels in the team

He can't Bat
Now, He can't field either

 

[Abdullah719]

Not fair that England have such a clutch batsman at #7

 

[bujhee kom]

Moeen is a fantastic player. One of the top players in world cricket.

 

[Suleiman]

1st game in an ODI series in England in the last year or so where the English batting unit has been tested. Poor bowling effort to feast on upfront but 357 is 357. But having quality batters all the way down to #8 is insane.

 

[bujhee kom]

It is crazy that England havent won a WC or CT. They have an insane LOI side. Must be contenders for 2019.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Moeen needs to put on muscle so he can hit big sixes. He's a twig like Babar.

Ali is twice the player. MVP in world cricket.

 

[Friend786]

Ali is twice the player. MVP in world cricket.

Yeah, miles ahead of Shakib Al Hasan.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Yeah, miles ahead of Shakib Al Hasan.

Lol, he's on an emotional roller coaster now.

 

[bujhee kom]

Yeah, miles ahead of Shakib Al Hasan.

Today yes cos Shak isnt playing.

 

[Robert]

Rain coming down as England are ahead on Duckbill Platypus. Looks like they have won.

 

[Abdullah719]

England win by 6 runs (DLS).

 

[Robert]

Gutting for WI after piling up the runs.

 

[shaz619]

Another fluke win for England, story of this series across all formats

 

[CricFan2012]

It is crazy that England havent won a WC or CT. They have an insane LOI side. Must be contenders for 2019.

their transformation started after 2015 cwc, came close in t20 world cup 2016 and ct
