3rd Match - England v West Indies (16th March)

[LightningStrike]

Think England will need to run-out King Gayle.

 

[vcs]

Bloody hell Gayle stll has it.

 

[mr_mister]

go Gayle go!

 

[mr_mister]

is it raining? Stupid Nasser talking about "breaks"

 

[mr_mister]

Sammy and Russell can easily pick up where Gayle left off if he gets out. Pretty sure Russell averaged like 3 sixes every innings in the big bash this summer just gone. So lethal with the bat these days

 

[mr_mister]

and on that note Ramdin looks too weak and scrawny to hit off the square. Do not need him batting

 

[LightningStrike]

is it raining? Stupid Nasser talking about "breaks"

That's because there IS a break-time.

Have a Kit-Kat!

Thing is Ramdin doesn't need to do anything spectacular, just nudge and nurdle it around for a run a ball. WI are well in charge as long as Gayle's around.

 

[smash84]

Exactly. They are a bunch of mercenary super-stars.

They could easily beat ANYONE on their day.

yeah but Pratters is questioning the consistency of the mercenaries. He thinks they are not consistent enough.

I think the mercenaries can hold their own for a few days which is why they can't win a longish tournament but can do well in shorter ones

 

[Pratters]

Ramdin usually just gets out in T20s, so will likely do some thing stupid within 10 runs.

 

[Jono]

Can see a Ramdin 23 (29) knock here and costing them.

Prove me wrong Dinesh.

 

[mr_mister]

Seems so weird to see him @ 4. Bonafide number 7



i knew 'yeah viv talk nah' moment was basically a one off. honestly i'd rather andre fletcher in here for his slogging in case gayle misfires

 

[vcs]

Why bother running?

 

[Jono]

Bringing out the super sopper and rope at mid inning break was such common sense, can't believe I saw it in cricket.

 

[Pothas]

Why bring on Stokes?

 

[mr_mister]

"the best players premeditate"

I went my whole career trying to play the balls on their merits and not pre meditating. seems like i was going about things the wrong way this whole time

 

[Pratters]

Ben Stokes T20 international economy rate: 9.5.
Domestic T20: 8.5.

 

[LightningStrike]

Looks like another Pakistan Bangladesh game is on the cards.

 

[Scaly piscine]

England's openers have cost the game. Roy's simply not good enough.

The idea of buying a wicket in T20 is pretty stupid.
