[Oxy]

Full toss - single -

4 off 7 balls

 

[Rob H]

4 off the last needed

 

[Oxy]

4 to win off 6 balls

You need some 'Abdul Razzak' magic here (v SL!)

 

[Saj]

Nixon is the sort of person who I would love to throttle, perhaps ram a bat into his big gob, but I guess thats what he's good at, winding up the opposition

 

[iZeeshan]

Appeal, but not out. Broad on strike. 4 needed from 6.

 

[Oxy]

Last over to Bravo.

Was surprised he didnt get Collymores over.

 

[Oxy]

Why am I so nervous about this???

[Oxy]

James (Jimmy) Anderson walks in......

 

[iZeeshan]

Dwayne Bravo does it! Very interesting now! Bowled him! WOnderful stuff. Nixy gone!

 

[Oxy]

It usually takes 2 crap sides to have a good game!

 

[Oxy]

A tie would be fitting

 

[Oxy]

[Rob H]

Well who cares who won, what a game. What a shot off the last ball.

 

[Oxy]

Sad looking Brain Lara. Let down badly by his team.

 

[iZeeshan]

And tis over. I think it was a mistake to bring the fielders in!

Great game!

 

[Gunner786]

goodbye lara,
oh and how can i forget........


goodbye collymore as you couldnt even bowl to a crap batsman like nixon

 

[Oxy]

Tears in the crwod - sums it up

 

[Saj]

Some sensible batting from Pietersen, Nixon and in the end Broad.

However where were the yorkers from the Windies bowlers - loads of ordinary length deliveries which made things easy for the opposition.

 

[Saj]

Sad looking Brain Lara. Let down badly by his team.

not for the first time.

 

[Gunner786]

Sad looking Brain Lara. Let down badly by his team.

i prefer let down badly by collymore

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh man, that was pretttty sad. So many peeps crying.

 

[irfan]

Feel really sorry for Lara, he deserved much better. His team just don't care.
