Group D - West Indies, England, Ireland

[Pothas]

Kind of hope this is a 'Chanderpaul going mental day' always find them amusing.

So we've kept it under 200 runs which is a bonus i guess but we should have done MUCH better, i can't help but think Roach might have saved us many runs today but Rampaul couldn't be dropped after his performance against Ireland, the problem with him is he has a track record of having horror overs, it happened a few times against the Aussies too.

 

[superkingdave]

Apparently its gonna piss it down soon

Lets see if the rain can save the West Indies again in a T20 World Cup match against England...

I wasnt aware that performances against an uber-minnow counted for much and, even if they did, Roach >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rampaul in any form of the game

I think England are banking on Gayle's struggles against left-arm seam continuing. He struggled against Bollinger; but I'd say Dougeh's a much better bowler than Sidearse. Have to wait and see how it goes.

 

[King Pietersen]

Yeah; great start Sidearse. That was a terrible over. 1, possibly 2 good deliveries. The edge over slips deserved to go, the delivery after that was asking to be punished, then the wide and finally that last delivery was asking to be hit too. Bring back Jimmeh.

Badly, tbh.

Bowling length to Gayle just isn't very clever in the format tho, is it?

It used to be a surprise when you saw a spinner opening the bowling. Now it's almost the other way round.

I know some (probably most) people find Gayle exciting to watch but to me it's just friggin' ugly hitting

 

[Scaly piscine]

That's it hand them the start they desperately need. Good stuff.

Expecting England to coast-in Scaly?

Looks like it's going to be one of those days. That reverse-sweep six was awesome.

Crazy ****

Chanders is an amazing player when he's in the mood

 

[Scaly piscine]

And the rain's coming, should reduce the target to about 30 off 6 overs.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Tiny Tim looks to have lost a bit of weight. It's all relative and Greggs aren't going to be calling in the receivers just yet, but fair play.

 

[King Pietersen]

Thank god for the rain. We'd have been screwed if they'd batted 5 overs. Got off to a stupidly good start thanks to some dire bowling.

 

[superkingdave]

WI only needed to be 43-0 or 46-1 after 5 overs for DL

Yep England are completely ****ed again if this goes only 5-10 overs.

You lost the game fair and square that day!!!, and if it happens again blame Duckworth, not us!! .
