***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

[Aidan11]

Rubbish fielding from Curran.

 

[Starfighter]

I turn it on and a couple of minutes later I get to see Hetmyer display his usual (in)ability against fast bowling.

 

[Starfighter]

And then Rutherford dobs him back down the ground first ball for six

 

[wpdavid]

That's the way to play your first ever ball at international level in this format.

 

[Starfighter]

And then he plays a terrible, terrible premeditated sweep to a ball that was too short and a googly that was oh so predictable.

 

[Starfighter]

Stuff me, not much brainwork went into that innings

 

[wpdavid]

Making the most of his let-off then.

 

[King Kane]

Short and sweet innings from Rutherford.

 

[Aidan11]

All hope rests with...er, Hope now.

 

[wpdavid]

All hope rests with...er, Hope now.

Somebody had to say it.

 

[Starfighter]

Terrible decision. It was always leg side and turned into the batsman.

 

[wpdavid]

That's good from Rehan at this stage of the game - four runs from four deliveries to a man who's passed 50, in the second powerplay with WI needing over 10 an over.

 

[King Kane]

Shepherd can smoke them.

He is wearing two gold necklaces, double the bling, double the zing.

One of the first rules of cricket.

 

[Aidan11]

We're going to lose this.

We are useless at death bowling.

 

[kevinw]

We're going to lose this.

We are useless at death bowling.

It might hasten the end of Mott and Buttler's captaincy, so every silver lining, etc.

 

[GIMH]

Think Windies are winning this huh

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ohhhh Scrappy Dooo...

 

[GIMH]

Patience obviously needed with the attack but it’s abundantly clear where the weakness is and it was the same going into the WC

 

[kevinw]

Absolute garbage. He's the experienced bowler here.

 

[Starfighter]

I've just turned it back on, so WI will lose now.
