What's new

England [418/6] beat Windies [389] by 29 runs in the 4th ODI, lead series 2-1

WI in the end should be kicking themselves for not getting over the line here.
 
Watched the game from about 2030 yesterday my time when I got back from work. WI would feel frustrated, even when Braithwaite and Nurse were batting it looked like they should win
 
What colors. They dropped a lot of catches in the first match. Scored 360, 389 in the two lost matches. It is not really en "emphatic" win. It exposed more holes in their bowling

Why have you put emphatic in quotation marks? I did not say it was emphatic. ENgland are leading a series and on board to win it, against a side that has almost matched their batting but not quite ,despite all time performances from some of the Windies players.

England have shown something previous sides have lacked, a grit and nerve to hold on till the last, where previously they would have fallen.
 
Due to ill health of a elder , i was up till 3 am & watched the last 70 overs of match . 418 scored & almost chased . WI needed 38 from 24 with 4 wickets in hand & 2 set players scoring at a fast clip .
I think such pitches will kill cricket . Very boring seeing 10-12 runs per over being clobbered with ease .
 
WI are not playing full strength and they are still scary.

Imagine Evin Lewis, Andre Russel, Dwayne Brawo and Sunil Narine were playing in place of Campbell, Brathwaite, Darren Brawo and Bishoo.

This team could win todays game and give a stiff fight to England if they meet. The rest have no chance.

Chucker Narine won't be as close to effective as he was when cheating IF he actually bowls cleanly now which I doubt.

England are still the better team and would have won if they chased. Their bowling slightly edges out West Indies while their batsmen are superior.

I wonder. I don’t think England chase all that well.
