**Official** England in the West Indies 2013-14

[grecian]

Some really good straight, fast blockhole stuff this from Jordan, really playing himself into the side. Oh then he ****ing drops it short FFS.

 

[grecian]

Bollox if that was over his head, he crouched down about 2 feet, cost us 5.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah was such a great performance until those last few balls.

So Jade....If he fails here can we drop him?

Unfortunately we can't win this, if Jade keeps them down he'll be the hero, and if he doesn't it's another morale-killer.

Well, if he can't concede less than 16, given that''s why he's supposed to be in the side in the first place.

Mixed feelings tbh. Obvs I'd rather we won, but JD comes over as such an arrogant toss-spot that I have no issue with WI knocking off the runs.

 

[grecian]

Just one more 6 to tie, Sammy against Dirtbag,, oh dear

 

[Pothas]

Yeah I can't support Jade over Sammy.

 

[grecian]

If he goes for 7 off the last ball

Stupid Sammy, should have left it.

Ah well, Glad for Jordan and Ravi they were the stars.

 

[wpdavid]

htf do you send down a wide in this situation? Spectacular stuff from old turdbrain.

EDIT
And if cricinfo are to be believed, that would have been a wide too if Sammy had left it. Unreal. Giles and Morgan must be pulling their hair out.

Anyway, a win isn't to be sniffed out in the present clime. Presumably Jordan's MOTM.

 

[Pothas]

Oh Darren.

 

[Howe_zat]

wides....

 

[Pothas]

Oh **** off Jade.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah I can't support Jade over Sammy.

It was just the moment where I switched to his side when he missed the last ball.

I should have known really

 

[grecian]

It was an huge wide WPDavid, well outside the line if Sammy hadn't hit it. Terrible bowling and Sky interview him first after the match. Hey no-one said life was fair.

 

[Adders]

Yeah I can't support Jade over Sammy.

It's getting to the stage where I'm struggling to support the side with this useless **** in it. Of all the poor England teams and players I've seen in my time of watching cricket I really can't think of any others that have turned me off like Jade ****ing Dernbach.

Surely we can dig up someone from domestic that is not going to be this useless (or dislikeable)??

 

[Ilovecric]

Bravo is just not a reliable bowler - I prefer him in ODIs than T20 because without his over WI would have won long ago.. He gave away 26 runs .. sad really.. And that Dernbach tho lol..wow..how many wides was he planning on bowler ?
it's just the hunger of sammy that saved him from bowling 2 wides with the final delivery of a game...

And unbelievably Sky trying to claim he "held his nerve"! An idiotic run out attempt to get Sammy back on strike, and two wides when 7 needed off one ball! Dernbach said it was "one of those things, the muscles tense up"! Hardly a ringing statement of justification for being entrusted with the last overs. The last overs being apparently his speciality and the only reason he was and is in the team!

I doubt wanting England to lose when he is in the team (especially in non tournament games) is at all uncommon among English 'supporters'. Wanting them to lose is clearly for the greater good.

 

[grecian]

I think Nick Knight's love for Jade is one of the more perplexing things really. Any hope he won't be at the T20 World Cup?

In fact I'd pay good money for Bob Willis to be wheeled out just to describe every Dernbach ball, now that would be fun.

Irani was close, he was also unbelievably arrogant for someone of his ability, or total lack of..

 

[Howe_zat]

Irani at least had a good county career though
