Windies [289/6] defeat England [263] by 26 runs to win the 2nd ODI and level series 1-1

Brathwhite just forehanded Stokes for six lol..Bumble goes "Deja vu" Mark wood is really good with pace.
 
Shimron Hetmyer! Take a bow.. Absolutely uninihibited hitting. 22 year old !!! Whoever runs into this guy in the world cup will suffer
 
Good game. Seems like a decent batting wicket but not pure flat like the last match. Still back my team to win. C’mon England!
 
One good thing about Root is he never wastes bad ball. If you bowl with pin point accuracy with right field set you can quieten him down just like you do with Kane williamson. He relies on orthodox shots.
 
First i see the celebration of Cottrell.. Man this is freaking awesome. haha. Freaking hilarious.
 
Oshane thomas is not a fully evolved bowler. Still maturing. Bowling on both sides. He is going at 7.45 so far in his career.
 
147k from wood >>>> 147k from oshane for sheer accuracy . Wood looked like getting an lbw every ball.
 
Windies lack a quality pacer who has good pace and accuracy. Oshan is wayward. Holding seems slow. Wheres Kemar Roach?
 
Still back England to win. Depth is good. One goes, comes another. 62 off 60balls. 5 wickets in hand.
 
Slow ball did the truck. Cutter! By Holder. Butler played it miles into it!
 
What a pathetic decision by the umpire against Curran. Bias umpiring by the local man! Absolutely disgraceful, missing the leg stump by a mile!
 
Moeen and Rashid. Two British born, South Asian origin, Muslims. Chance to be heroes for your nation!
 
Not easy to play that shot being on the front foot, not far from your body.

Plunkett can hit them big but needs to stay in with Mo for a while yet.
 
Windies won this!

Ali bowled.

England collapsed like Bangladesh often does in chase, reminds me of BD v Eng 2016 first ODI.
 
Congrats Windies. Always had a soft spot for them. Used to like them a lot in the early 00s.

This is the first ODI win for windies against England since 2014. Wow! 5 dry years !!
 
Yess, Congrats to the Windies for finally putting some doubt into England before the world cup.
 
England missed Woakes big time today. Woakes would’ve made a big difference in this chase.
 
Congrats to Windies, very good bowling in death overs. I am becoming a fan of Jason Holder, he always leads from the front.

Curran's LBW was unfortunate for England, otherwise result could have been different or at least the game would have gone to the final over.
 
WI 289/6 (50.0 Ovs,
)ENG 263-all out (47.4 Ovs)

Windies won by 26 runs


A stunning collapse handed the Windies a series-levelling victory in the second ODI against England by 26 runs.

As the last ball of the 40th over was about to be bowled by the Windies’ captain, Jason Holder, England needed 62 to win from 61 balls with six wickets in hand.

After losing two early wickets – openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow made two runs between them – sensible batting with the odd dash of power from Joe Root, captain Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, and Jos Buttler had almost put the result beyond doubt. England had chased 360 with ease two days ago; a target 70 runs less than that seemed little more than an opportunity for middle practice.

But Stokes edged the last ball of that over behind, and squandered a review thinking he’d hit the ground; he had, but he’d hit the ball at the same time. If that gave the homse side an opening, they didn’t start believing until Holder’s next over, when he struck twice in two balls, deceiving Buttler with a slower ball which he chipped to cover before pinning Tom Curran LBW. It would have been overturned on review, but Stokes had used it up.

In a matter of minutes the Windies had become favourites, and they didn’t relinquish their grip. Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid added a plucky 27, but another double-strike, this time from the saluting Sheldon Cottrell who bowled excellently and claimed his first five-for in ODIs, put the hosts a wicket away.

The next over, Liam Plunkett hoisted Carlos Brathwaite to Holder at long-on, and that was that. England had lost 6/35, and a game and series that had seemed in the bag was suddenly alive and kicking.

Earlier, the Windies had made 289/6 largely thanks to a stellar 82-ball century from Shimron Hetmyer.

Chris Gayle had helped lay the platform with a half-century, continuing his good form from the first ODI, when he struck a belligerent century on his comeback. Though he took his time to get set again, on this occasion he launched slightly earlier – having scored just six runs from his first 28 balls, he plundered 20 off his next 12.

John Campbell fell for a scratchy 23, pulling Liam Plunkett to mid-on, and soon after Adil Rashid was introduced, earlier than in the first ODI. He soon struck with a ripping leg-break to dismiss Gayle. Having set him up with googlies, the left-hander’s eyes lit up on seeing a wider ball, only for it to turn back in and clip the top of off.

Shai Hope and Darren Bravo each took their time to bed in and gave their wickets away before making it count. Hope pulled Stokes to Bairstow at deep square, and Bravo was caught dozing and run out by a Rashid direct hit.

Hetmyer’s brilliance took the Windies closer to 300 Hetmyer’s brilliance took the Windies closer to 300
When another direct hit – this time brilliance from Roy, with one stump to aim at – accounted for Holder, it seemed West Indies might struggle to make 250.

In the event, Hetmyer’s brilliance saw them closer to 300. Stokes and Curran were each pummelled for massive sixes, and it soon became a question not of whether England could get him out, but whether they could stop him reaching his hundred.

Even that was beyond them as he creamed Stokes down the ground from the penultimate ball of the innings to move past three figures. Perfectly timed, as was everything about his knock.

Good to see the SL-SA series and this one being so sporting and not one sided.

If cricket was all round like this nobody would really pay attention to random leagues.
 
England are really overrated. Their bowling is just about average and the batting fails more often then not on pitches that even offer minimum asisstance to bowlers.
 
Good series levelling win for West Indies. However I'm desperately hoping they move on from Bishoo and Nurse after this series.

Injured.
 
Good win for WI, that was a shocking decision against Curran though
 
Excellent late fightback by WI - when Stokes and Buttler were in, I thought England were walking it.
 
Great win for West Indies. They are making some good progress in LO. Just need to find a decent spinner and they have a really strong team for the WC. Roach and Gabriel to come back as well........
