If they didn't bring out the covers whenever Broad starts crying, then they're not going to bring it out whenever someone breaks a sweat!

Are you watching the match? He was breaking sweat very early in his innings, by the end he arms were shinning brighter than the stickers on his bat and every time he leaned over it looked like someone had turned a tap on in his helmet! Give credit to him though, he played very well after a poor start.

What you think about your chances? WI aon't getting 180 and they only have Narine. I bet its gonna be close.

I'm not sure tbh. Most of our batsman prefer pace on the ball and the West Indies haven't selected many quicker bowlers so we may struggle. Narine will be the key really, if we play him sensibly for 6/7 runs an over then we will have a real chance of getting this total.

 

[Justcrazy]

179 / 5 after 20 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

WI should not mess now.

 

[asif9138]

challege for WI bowlers

 

[asif9138]

how Eng will handle nurine

 

[asif9138]

WI middle order is not in form

 

[asif9138]

[asif9138]

You couldn't say that in one post?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I've got a feeling England might struggle here. 180 is get-able but the spinners might put a spanner in the works.

 

[Justcrazy]

It would be interesting to see how Eng play

 

[MattyB]

You couldn't say that in one post?

Don't bother. In a previous match thread I asked him why he kept spamming the thread with his rubbish ball by ball commentary and he just talked about how he is allowed to do it. It's very annoying and difficult to have a debate about a game when the thread is full of his one line posts stating the obvious..

 

[Arcturus]

 

[Tridibans_16]

What a shot. Gifting his wicket away.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Keys-Wetter Gone

 

[MattyB]

Wow. 0-2.

 

[Arcturus]

wow another Rampaul on Hattrick now

 

[Jo_Don]

Brilliant catch by Gayle in the slips! Rampaul on a hat trick!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Bwahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luke Wright Gone too

This is funny

 

[Speedster1]

Wow another gone!! ENG 0/2 !

 

[insaftak]

[BlackThunder]

hahahahaha

 

[cricketworm]

Can England chase down 179?

If they do they are well deserve defending champion and fav. for tournament.

If they don't well ... :KP

 

[Runner Up]

What the hell this Kieswetter was doing? Pathetic batting display. It looked like he wasn't even thinking that he was batting. Totally absent mind and while I am typing another one (Luke Wright) gone on slightly good bowl.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

) Are we playing in perth or wat? )

 

[CricnPak]

Gayle just did Gangam Style!! LOL

 

[asif9138]

they can..pitch is good..pakistan did chase, SL did tie..only problem i see for england is nurine and gyle in spin!

 

[Runner Up]

West Indies are doing very good. They are gonna win the world cup.

 

[CricnPak]

Chris Gayle dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0

 

[Arcturus]

England so scared of spin that they plan on finishing before spin is introduced..

 

[ads101]

Doesn't look like it two wickets down in first over, no runs.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Forget spin, they are 2 down to pace ! 0-2, terrible start.

 

[mithun_minhas]

KP already smiling in the studio.

 

[MattyB]

A double wicket maiden.. Are you kidding me?

It wasn't even against a spinner either!

 

[Sherlock]

Oh dear England

 

[Tridibans_16]

I'm not sure tbh. Most of our batsman prefer pace on the ball and the West Indies haven't selected many quicker bowlers so we may struggle. Narine will be the key really, if we play him sensibly for 6/7 runs an over then we will have a real chance of getting this total.

 

[cricketworm]

Lots of fluke shots by English batsmen.

 

[Runner Up]

good shot

 

[Tridibans_16]

Good shot!

 

[ads101]

The batting team chosen by England is poor. There's hardly any international experience. Especially with KP gone. There is just Morgan left in the side.

And most haven't even done anything of worth/cemented their place in the side. Buttler, Wright, Bairstow, Patel. Even Hales is pretty new, though he's had some good scores and a good average already.

England should just get in Cook and Bell as their opening partnership. They desperately need some experience to hold the batting order together.

 

[cards fan]

what an overrated team? cant play spin cant play pace.. what are you doing here in this world cup? this was ranked no 1. to the ranking.

 

[Arcturus]

Eng RR about to break the 3 mark

Very good points. More so as these players are playing in SL for the first time. They don't play the Ipl as well (except Morgan). I think Trott, Cook wouldn't have failed like them.

The main problem is that they only know crash, Bang, boom.. no orthodox cricket shots.

ENG 16/2 (3.3 Ovs)

 

[Tridibans_16]

Actually Eng has been pretty good in their home in T20s. And also did well in the last world cup. So the ranking.

 

[Arcturus]

That should've been stopped

 

[asif9138]

2 in 2

 

[LethalSami]

You couldn't say that in one post?

he's likes taking singles

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 164 runs with 8 wickets and 16.2 overs remaining

 

[Tridibans_16]

Req. rate 10.08 mg:

 

[asif9138]

without KP eng is nothing

 

[Justcrazy]

Engalnd need a Partnership here

 

[Justcrazy]

Narine on a little early I think

 

[shah_1]

What is "JAMES" going to say about England being favourite in his tournament or had bad day in office against India.

I am loving this humiliation of England

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Arcturus]

All at seas against Narine...

 

[asif9138]

24 in 4.5

 

[asif9138]

Where is he? I remember him saying Eng will beat NZ and WI, but not SRI.

Mind you all, Eng are not out of this yet.

 

[Justcrazy]

25 / 2 after 5 overs

 

[mosh101]

So far so good for windies

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Bairstow looking clueless.

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 152 runs with 8 wickets and 14.2 overs remaining

 

[asif9138]

match will be close

 

[Tridibans_16]

None of the Eng batsmen use their feet against the spinners.

 

[Justcrazy]

Great stuff from WI here
