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

[KingKhanWC]

Andre Russell played in the Birmingham club league a couple of years ago and those who played against him have said to me he can hit it just as huge as Pollard and Gayle.

A spinner needs to come asap.

 

[ads101]

Who the hell is this? ) )

Kid looks an amazing bat.

guy has a list A average of 33.

There's so many bits and pieces players it's ridiculous. But this guy in domestic, seems to be a genuinally great bowler, as well as being handy with the bat. Average of 33 with the bat, and 19 with the ball? Very impressive.

 

[iHammad]

Clive Lloyd..

 

[Noman]

You are forgetting the best part about Indian batting - wristy, very wristy

We need to ban the ghost to our batsman..
:ahmed

 

[Looney]

62 more , we can do it boys

 

[Sledger]

Pollard is just a slogger, don't think he's ever carried his side through against a good bowling attack. This Russell looks to have a half decent technique, against pace anyway.

Impressive?!? The guy looks like he could be Gary Sobers' baap!

 

[ads101]

England missing Anderson now )

Always a danger bringing in Tremlett suddenly for one match.

 

[KingKhanWC]

A dot ball from Tremlett would be nice.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Agreed, they have a lot of match-winners. They are maybe the most dangerous team of the tournament, inconsistent and a bit shaky, but a lot of players who can turn the match.

Gayle. Bravo. Pollard. Roach.

West Indies vs Pakistan QF would be epic.

Gee, why have you especially bestowed this honor to be slaughtered on us?

 

[Sledger]

Outside edge, appeal for lbw.

 

[Poison]

England have been consistently appealing for LBW's off the bat today

 

[ads101]

Impressive?!? The guy looks like he could be Gary Sobers' baap!

It is hard to maintain an average over 30 without decent technique. The sloggers usually average low 20s.

He could become a good all rounder. He could become the all rounder Sammy never was )



Future Captain!

 

[Poison]

Bechara Sammy, a very try-hardy sort of fellow

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ajmal Shazhad would have been lethal at this stage.

Intelligent stuff from Ramnaresh.

 

[iHammad]

Tight single

 

[ads101]

Pollard is just a slogger, don't think he's ever carried his side through against a good bowling attack. This Russell looks to have a half decent technique, against pace anyway.

They want to bring Swann back, but he's only got 3 overs left.

 

[Noman]

Russel guy will make them win mark my words..

Where has this guy been?

 

[ZenBowman]

Gee, why have you especially bestowed this honor to be slaughtered on us?

Who would you rather play? South Africa?

I think if Ajmal is played, he can get Gayle cheaply. Pakistan v WI should be a good fight.

 

[Amjid Javed]

This game is reminding me of the CT trophy final between the two!

Come on West indies!

 

[duostyle]

Come on Andre son, knock'em Poms out!

 

[Batman]

West Indies | 6/188 | 34 Overs | Need 56 runs to win from 96 balls

6 off the over!

 

[iHammad]

56 from 96

 

[KingKhanWC]

The ice cream scoop drops in no mans land.

 

[Sledger]

Almost threw it away. 188/6.

Should take the PP. Might force Swann on and he can be hit with the field in.

 

[cricfan967]

Only 58 needed now!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Even though an English defeat here is gonna help us , but i don't want them to get knocked out

C'mon England !! Win here and then i'd like us to get into QF by beating WI thereby 'earning' our QF match

 

[Sledger]

Tredwell on.

 

[cric_fan82]

ahmed shhzad should have been playing!!!! big blunder from them

 

[Sledger]

If WI win, both India and WI will qualify (and Bangladesh)?

 

[ZenBowman]

Another England game going to the wire.....

 

[KingKhanWC]

About time, Tredwell on, needs Russel facing.

 

[ads101]

Bechara Sammy, a very try-hardy sort of fellow

He tries hard.

If anything he actually looks like a better test bowler than he does limited overs. Which is strange.

 

[ZenBowman]

If WI win, both India and WI will qualify (and Bangladesh)?

Yes, India, WI, Bangla will all qualify.

 

[KingKhanWC]

If WI win, both India and WI will qualify (and Bangladesh)?

WI,India and Bangladesh through with SA.

England back to the village inn.

 

[Sledger]

Tredwell looks like a lorry driver.

 

[Sledger]

Russell on strike now.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Tredwell looks like a lorry driver.

incorrect...

looks like Jason Statham...

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

sarwan holds the key here

 

[KingKhanWC]

Superb run by Sarwan, man this dude has a brain.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Tredwell back, can he get more wickets?

 

[Sledger]

Good run, gets there easily even with hesitation.

 

[Poison]

Apparently Russell is a junior 100m champion :usainbolt

 

[Batman]

West Indies | 6/192 | 35 Overs | Need 52 runs to win from 90 balls

4 off the over!

 

[iHammad]

52 from 90

keep going Sarwan and Russel

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I need to just play calmly here and put away the odd bad ball! No need for anything stupid!

 

[Amjid Javed]

52 from 90 needed!

 

[Sledger]

Swann!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Last throw of the dice for England. Do or die time. :swann

 

[iHammad]

Swann on

 

[Sledger]

Take the PP NOW!!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

35 gone - 192/6

 

[Sledger]

Big full toss, missed out.

 

[Poison]

Time for dew complaints to begin

 

[Sledger]

A round 50 needed.

 

[ads101]

Come on West Indies! Nearly there now. Just 3 and a half per over with 4 wickets left. Just carry on like this picking up the singles and they'll be fine.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Andre Russell played in the Birmingham club league a couple of years ago and those who played against him have said to me he can hit it just as huge as Pollard and Gayle.

A spinner needs to come asap.

KKWC, who you supporting for this match?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Swann back, pretty much W.I need to see these two spinners off!

 

[Poison]

Great shot Russell!

 

[cricfan967]

Classy shot for three

 

[Sledger]

This guy is better than Viv.

 

[ads101]

lol.

It seems this russell could get in either as a batsman or bowler.

Good technique, and smart batsman.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lovely glide shot from russell

 

[Batman]

West Indies | 6/197 | 36 Overs | Need 47 runs to win from 84 balls

5 off the over!

 

[Poison]

If Sarwan goes, there will be trouble.

 

[Sledger]

197/6.

 

[iHammad]

47 from 84

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

i think its fair to day that russel will be named MOM regardless of the result....4 wickets and a potential match-winning inns with the bat...ON DEBUT!

 

[KingKhanWC]

KKWC, who you supporting for this match?

Neutral

England really don't deserve to be in the q/f the way they played.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Less than 50 needed!

And the fact that they have no pressure with the number of deliveries remaining is great for them! No rash shots, no high skyers.

 

[Sledger]

Great shot. )

 

[cricfan967]

If WI win, both India and WI will qualify (and Bangladesh)?

Commies said all three will but I thought Bangladesh had to beat South Africa

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

36 gone - 197/6

 

[Sledger]

50 partnership.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Brute force from Andre the Giant.

 

[iHammad]

Russelllllll

 

[Amjid Javed]

47 needed from 82 balls...

 

[Maula Jutt]

Man, this is a sad beating WI is handing the Englishmen.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Against the spin over mid off
