England v West Indies | Group B | WC'11 | Chennai | 17/3/11

[MC]

Fantastic England! Hats off.

Don't know why some clowns wanted them out so badly, they're clearly the team of the WC! Another nail biting match.

 

[Amjid Javed]

england the jammy sods survive!

 

[sada90]

ah what was westindies player thinking to take 2nd run..

 

[Amir]

Choke! Choke! Choke!

Feels nice to be on the other end for once, eh?

 

[Eagle_Eye]

ENG will win the WC...... no two ways about it

 

[Maula Jutt]

What a game! England are the cornered tigers of the tournament. I seriously think they might take the cup this time.

 

[duostyle]

Indeed Swanny indeed...

 

[cricfan967]

Swann mentions Pakistan in his little speech

 

[Khan88]

Hahah Swann has Pakistan 92' on his mind

 

[Looney]

Graeme Swann wants to be like 92's Pakistan

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Swann saying..
They playing like Pak of WC 92

 

[ace4rmspace]

England live to embarass themselves another day. Windies will be eating their chapals tonight.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This was worst than South African. West Indies new Chokers.

 

[shahrukh619]

wow ,first a retarded shot then a retarded run out.

 

[the Great Khan]

my prediciton is they are gonna win this thing..ive been saying it for ages..

 

[iHammad]

lol Whippy is probably dancing or something right now

Cornered Tigers? Bheegi Billees more like! They've played rubbish. Still a win is a win.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

From wrist slitting to dancing in no time....

 

[enigmatic_stani]

They have definitely taken the cornered tigers theme to a new level!! Not even the '92 team went through this many highs and lows.

 

[Amir]

lol Whippy is probably dancing or something right now

No, he only cares about Ashes as does rest of England according to Simon Hughes.

 

[ace4rmspace]

Graeme Swann wants to be like 92's Pakistan

Yeah right! Strauss is no Imran Khan and the successor to Wasim is facing jail as we speak ...

 

[MC]

Cornered Tigers? Bheegi Billees more like! They've played rubbish. Still a win is a win.

The team is full of fighting spirit even if they lack collective form.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hope S.A lose to bangla and India get spanked by W.I and go out now!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

)

No one can compete SA when it comes to Choking

Mark my words


They will choke in knockouts maybe.

 

[Amjid Javed]

What a choke by W.I!

 

[MRSN]

Well done England

 

[enigmatic_stani]

Cornered Tigers? Bheegi Billees more like! They've played rubbish. Still a win is a win.

Shut up and give credit where it is due. They have been far and away the best team to watch this world cup unlike us. They have already made more comebacks than we did in '92 yet people will never give them the credit they deserve.

 

[Sledger]

SA have qualified - time for them to throw the Bd game, just for teh lolz. :cronje

 

[Maula Jutt]

Cornered Tigers? Bheegi Billees more like! They've played rubbish. Still a win is a win.

Tigers get themselves in the corner by playing rubbish to begin with. It's how they claw out of that corner to take center stage and win that makes them cornered tigers. Supporters of Pakistan team should know this much.

 

[Robert]

Feeling very smug looking back at some of the anti-England post on this thread which incorrectly called the result after a quarter of it was played.

 

[adnan yasin]

MAtch gifted to england by over aggressive windies

 

[Sledger]

Sarwan was taking a **** when the wicket fell which is why he came in later. )

 

[ace4rmspace]

The team is full of fighting spirit even if they lack collective form.

I didn't really see that at any point in this game. West Indies self combusted but that didn't have much to do with the way England bowled. Still, good on them for surviving.

 

[ads101]

What a shame.

Oh well, well done England.

 

[Noman]

Sa need too loss to Bangadesh..

 

[Watsupdoc]

I fear England might win the WC... They seem like cornered tigers in this group...

 

[Noman]

MAtch gifted to england by over aggressive windies

Why do they eat to much gosh or smoke to much of

Great performance, a never say die attitude. Against the big teams England have performed, which is what matters.

Strauss got nearly all his decisions correct, and having a short leg at that stage of the game..............masterclass

 

[Maula Jutt]

What's with the sour grapes in this thread? I never understand the negative attitude towards England on PP. That team is easily my second favorite in the tournament after Pakistan.

Maybe you should've watched the match then.

India are playing cricket like Pakistan..

You tell me to shut up again and I'll stuff my boot in your face you Ignorant Imbecile! If you read my post again you fool you will realise that I said that a win is a win. They did play rubbish, anyone who says otherwise was watching a different match. In my opinion they didn't do anything outstanding to win this match other than not leave the field.

 

[ads101]

4 wickets for 3 runs.

I'm so disappointed. Really wanted Bangladesh to go through.

 

[Sanchez]

WisdenCric_Dan:
How, just how, does Bob Willis not even show a glimmer of excitement after watching those events unfold?! Does he like cricket?

LOL

 

[ZenBowman]

India has only beaten minnows, England has only lost to minnows.

Exactly, despite having bunch of players with poor form, England's every match has been a thriller. They've been putting great deal of sweat to defend their poor targets against mighty and weak oppositions yet some people have the nerve to say England isn't putting the effort or they lack the fighting spirit. bunch of bitc*hy haters really.

 

[ace4rmspace]

Maybe you should've watched the match then.

LOL I did watch it man, I just didn't find anything outstanding, thats all. Don't get me wrong, it would have been an absolute shame if England would have gone out today. I think I support them sub consciously which is why I hate it when they take things to the wire like this!

 

[cynical]

chalo well played west indies. lacked depth in the end

 

[classic]

Well played England ...although I did say they will win today when WI were crusing....FIXEDDDD!!!

 

[Khabri420]

Can't believe West Indies lost...
