Let's just get this over with

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

We will lose by big margin

 

[Aritro]

The calm before the storm

 

[Aritro]

My God, they've caught one...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Finally, a proper batsman in

Finally, a proper batsman in

Aaaand he's out

Oh wait you're talking about Chase, nvm

WI cricket might actually be dead

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Gayle has always been susceptible against offspinners coming from around the wicket

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Aaaand he's out

WI cricket might actually be dead

Chase, no?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Just went on with the arm, didn't it?

Gayle has been a great player in the format, but think anno domini has got the better of him finally.

 

[Aritro]

The longer this goes on like this, the more nervous I get

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was a mediocre shot from Hetmyer

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeesh. As return catches go that was pretty much a dolly.

And Hetmyer goes next ball as I type. Never got to the pitch of it.

And thus falls the "gifted", "talented" Hetmyer... once again.

 

[Aritro]

The fielding from Bangladesh in Super 12s has been pathetic. It's actually a surprise any time they pick up the ball cleanly. Not all of the botched pickups cost runs, but they botch it all the time.

If they didn't spend the money on a fielding coach and just had a bloke gently hitting ground balls before the match like we do in local cricket, they'd hardly be any worse.

And thus falls the "gifted", "talented" Hetmyer... once again.

Bloke has gone south ever since he met his missus. His Instagram has so many selfies of them together, it's almost terrifying.

If she's going to be in the dude's life, I'd like to see her get involved and give him some throwdowns in the nets tbh. God knows he needs it.

 

[cnerd123]

BD definitely seem a step behind in athleticism compared to other T20 outfits these days

Having said that, half the WI team can barely run lol.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

If they score more than 120, it will be difficult for us to chase

 

[Aritro]

Not sure what's going on here, still worried about the floodgates opening
