Group D - West Indies, England, Ireland

[King Pietersen]

That is magnificent work by Craig Kieswetter. Pollard only just lifted his foot for a second or two, and Kieswetter was quick enough to whip the bails off. Brilliant stuff. England just need to keep taking wickets here.

 

[Furball]

Sarwan surely should have come in at 4?

How many do they need to seriously up the DL target though? cricinfo reckon they make little difference at this stage.

 

[King Pietersen]

An Aamer-esque 5 wicket maiden would do the trick I reckon.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Pretty ****ty over from Swann despite the 2 wickets.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah crap over, crap batting.

 

[Furball]

Wickets etc only come into play if they don't complete their allocation of overs or if there's another rain break I think.

They could lose 9 wickets and as long as they score the 60 runs they'll win afaik.

edit: get the ****ing field in.

Good system

8 to win off 1 over. Broad to go with his amazing round the wicket to the right hander tactic?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Solid over from Yardy.

8 needed off the final over. & Broad to bowl it. Eeeuw. Colly's cutters IMHO.

 

[Furball]

Giving away 6 easy singles, absolutely shocking captaincy.

Get the field in and make them work for their runs, if they win hitting the ball out the park then fair enough, giving away 6 runs for no risk whatsoever is utterly criminal.

Kudos. You called it.

 

[King Pietersen]

Here we go. The famous Broad round the wicket tactic. This can only go well.

Seriously, what stupid stupid rules. Why haven't the ICC done anything since lats years debacle at the Oval

 

[BoyBrumby]

Feck. Windies can't lose now.

 

[King Pietersen]

That is terrible bowling. What the hell was he thinking bowling it there?

 

[Furball]

Jesus Broad, bowl at his toes.

edit: STOP BOWLING LENGTH BALLS YOU ****ING MORON.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Terrible ball from Broad it was pretty much asking to be hit for four.

 

[Scaly piscine]

England royally cheated by D-L for the second competition running. Hopefully this time it will make no real difference in the end.

Absolute disgrace for the ICC to let this happen not once but twice.
