**Official** West Indies in England 2012

[BoyBrumby]

FFS Eoin. Chops a wide one from Samules onto his stumps. The cut was on, just gash execution.

England to be bowled out by 43rd over with Bell stranded on 138*.

 

[Jacknife]

Very unlucky, bad time to lose a wicket as well, it was all looking very easy out there.

He seemed to rush the shot, should have put it away tbf.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Finny to ton up.

 

[Jacknife]

These 2 need to stick together now for at least the next 10 overs, only the all-rounder/bowlers to come after this.

Five tons in the last five one-dayers for the England openers.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Pies from rather than consumed by Rampaul. Wonders will never cease.

 

[theegyptian]

Rampaul should bowl most of his overs (if not all) early in the innings imo, especially in england

 

[BoyBrumby]

FFS, what a way to go. Top edged a slower ball from Bravo.

Take a boo, son. Great knock. 126 from 117.

 

[The_roc]

Bell gone.

Batting looks a bit light with Bressie at 7. Hope we can keep it going for the last 9 overs

Yep agree mate looked for all money that he'd bat through and get 150+, England have to go very careful here, a few lame dismissals have put us in a place we shouldn't be. The next two to come although decent batsmen have been gash in limited overs cricket.

Bres has got this anyway.

 

[grecian]

England need to be a tad careful here. There's a *long* time left to bat and their batting is thin.

Trying to resist doing a joke about "thats the first time Bres has been called thin.

Oh I failed

 

[BoyBrumby]

Could be gone here. Great throw from Smith.

EDIT: Yup, run out. Pish running. No dive, jibber, etc

 

[Jacknife]

Pathetic tbh, just stupid cricket.

 

[Debris]

Bell gone.

Yes, the balance of the England side does not seem quite right.

 

[theegyptian]

shoulda put broad in above swann.broad is just a **** odi batsman.

and i think england will be happy with 250. they;ve picked their best 5 bowlers and best 5 batsman and a wk and not really worried about the composition of the team. the bowling should be strong enough hopefully. i'd still love to see buttler in their instead of kieswetter right now but that's never going to happen whilst kieswetter is keeper at somerset.

Lacks a batting all-rounder, IMHO.

Samit the obvious contender.

 

[Spikey]

Surely if Kieswater has been pushed out of opening, he shouldn't be on the team? Like, it seems Buttler or Bairstow are more proven for this rule? I wouldn't've thought the keeping skill of those two were not acceptable, but Kieswaters' was

[Spikey]

yes yes i know what i've just done......

 

[Burgey]

What's a good total here?

Fmd Bell made runs!

 

[Burgey]

Ok, it has to be asked. Has his bloke's action been checked?

280 par, IMHO.
