Final - England v West Indies (3rd April)

[91Jmay]

Great catch that. Superb.

 

[vcs]

it was the 18th over...

I mean in general.. remember they also got bowled out in a T20 game against SA before this event. Their batting approach has definitely changed in terms of mindset for limited-overs cricket. Will not always work and looks stupid when it doesn't come off but definitely entertaining.

Jordan has been terrible with the bat.

And he STILL comes in before Willey.

Ludicrous.

 

[Cabinet96]

Windies have been world class in the field.

That's a superb catch.

yeah they play the game aggressively, ODIs too. Its awesome.

But they haven't really done that here. Quie a few tentative dismissals tbh.

 

[91Jmay]

Don't really care about 9 deliveries just go for the fence.

 

[Stace]

He's fine just doesn't wanna field.

Rashid has 10 FC hundreds, batting at No. 11.

 

[Jono]

Surely Rashid is the greatest ever number 11 in international cricket history?

Fair play, WI have been brilliant today in the field. Be their catching that wins them the trophy as much as anything. Got to hold your hands up and admit it been a masterclass in the field.

What I find annoying is that the WIndies are going to chase this down in about 15 overs, but if you gave them five days to get 'em England would be in the box seat now

Buttler, Root, Stokes and Willey all were going pretty well and perished playing a big shot when well-set.

I dunno how you can say Stokes got out playing a big shot.

 

[91Jmay]

This has been really bad from Jordan.

My favourite bit of Gambhiring ever.

 

[vcs]

WI have to be big favourites here.. haven't seen anything in this wicket to suggest anything less than 175 is par. England will have to bowl really well to have a chance. But it's a final and pressure can do funny things while chasing.

 

[Jono]

Far out Jordan put that full toss into the stands.

 

[Jono]

25 short of where they'd want to be, but this is defendable.

Win them the game Rashid and Moeen.

 

[91Jmay]

Rashid with the shot of the match to finish.

30 runs light absolute minimum, Windies superb. need 3 powerplay wickets to have a sniff.
