West Indies vs England | Second ODI | Antigua | 2 March 2014

[Robert]

Blimey, this wicket is slow! - four spinners on for England so far.

This bloke Parry looks good.

 

[Space Cat]

Who is this Parry bloke?

The bus driver?

 

[Robert]

Yeah, I think the Wheely Bin couldn't be bothered to turn his arm over, so they had to give the bus driver a bowl.

He's doing a good tight job though.

 

[Robert]

Not much interest in this match?

 

[Robert]

151-7.......

Sammy can clout it but otherwise only bowlers left with ten overs remaining. WI could get bowled out here.

 

[kabir31]

Another one out. Hope England can chase this down this time.

 

[Robert]

151-8 now as Sammy falls to Parry.

 

[kabir31]

England should let them not score 200.

 

[Justcrazy]

159 all out )

 

[Robert]

Hopefully ENG won't stuff this up.

 

[hamzie]

this match seems so dull compared to what we just witnessed

 

[Jabo]

WI have been awful for so long, batting is worse than Pakistan

 

[hadi123]

this match is the opposite of pakistan india match. you have to be the most die hard england fan or west indian fan to watch that rather than this match

 

[Justcrazy]

Easy for poms here

 

[Justcrazy]

WI played poorly , Poms will get this in 35 overs here

 

[Justcrazy]

18 / 0 after 4 overs

 

[On_the_up]

Was impressed with Moeen Ali's timing when I saw him playing for Worcestershire.

This timing can be an asset in the power play overs up front in an ODI.

 

[Justcrazy]

138 more required

 

[Justcrazy]

No pressure at all on Poms here

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali can be effective player for Poms, specially with his spin.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rampaul changes end

 

[On_the_up]

Moeen's a goner

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Poms should win by 7 - 8 wickets here .

 

[Justcrazy]

Moen plays a false shot here

 

[Justcrazy]

wright at number 3

 

[Justcrazy]

Lumb will look to bat through here.

 

[On_the_up]

Luke Wright goes too.

match not over.

This is England

 

[Justcrazy]

wright perishes

 

[Justcrazy]

Lumb looking solid at other end.

 

[Energetic]

England really should've 1 the 1st game. There's just no interest of Cricket in the Caribbean these days apart from T20 (hit and miss). West Indies is not even a country I think.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lumb batting with ease here.

 

[Justcrazy]

39 / 2 after 10

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope WI show some fight here

 

[Justcrazy]

45 / 2 after 13 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Lumb will anchor this chase here

 

[Justcrazy]

for Poms

 

[Justcrazy]

55 / 2 after 15 overs

 

[Haz95]

This may sound rude...but who cares?

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 100 runs with 8 wickets and 34.0 overs remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

root gets that away

 

[Justcrazy]

Lumb is batting well yet again

 

[On_the_up]

Lumb back in the hutch.

 

[On_the_up]

Miller time.

 

[On_the_up]

Now Root goes.

Dwayne Bravo this time.

 

[On_the_up]

81-4.

Can England mess it up again?

For the sake of the series, I hope not.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Hat trick ball

 

[On_the_up]

And 5 down.

Butler out first ball

 

[Donal Cozzie]

How in the name of God have England managed to let the Windies back in. They had the game in the bag!!

 

[On_the_up]

Bravo. Bravo

 

[On_the_up]

How in the name of God have England managed to let the Windies back in. They had the game in the bag!!

They went to the same school as Pakistan.

 

[On_the_up]

Can Bop stop the rot?

 

[Sam18696]

WTH england

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Another wicket falls! Good sportsmanship from Stokes. Umpire gave not out and he walked

 

[London_Lahori]

Ben stokes walks, but the replays looks like he didn't touch it?!?

 

[Robert]

Yeah, Stokes didn't look out.

ENG have picked the wrong side here - too many all-rounders at the expense of specialist batsmen.

One hearkens back to Lamb, Fairbrother and Thorpe who were so good in these tight situations.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Bresnan run out. England 105/7

 

[abdulrafay33]

is there something weird with this pitch...

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Another wicket. Broad reviewing it....

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Decision reversed. Not out

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Im unable to watch this on tv at the moment, are there demons in the pitch?

 

[Donal Cozzie]

:4

England need 49 off 103 balls to win with 3 wickets left....

 

[abdulrafay33]

oh Lord Broad dropped twice....

 

[Robert]

Im unable to watch this on tv at the moment, are there demons in the pitch?

It's very slow and hard to play shots on, but Rampaul seems able to bowl good bouncers on it.

A strong breeze makes lofted shots dangerous.

 

[James]

Looks like a win, just about.

 

[pakistanalltheway]

WI should have finished this off but well played to these two .

[Robert]

Well, England made a meal of that!

But a win's a win.

 

[London_Lahori]

Why is Bopara batting at 7, and a hack like Buttler coming in above him?

 

[hadi123]

England were lucky, wouldve been thrilling had broad been out

 

[Robert]

I'm pleased that RavBops got ENG over the line. Too many times in the past he has choked, but not this time. Maybe this will give him confidence!

 

[Robert]

Hopefully they will drop Luke Wright for the decider and put a proper batman in. Four all-rounders in the top seven is too many.

 

[Convict]

Hopefully the team dietitian has a word with Bresnan as well. He's carrying a bit.
