Liam is defeating himself with his off spin

Now Jacks with a drop. So far, both openers for England have drop catches...and Turner.

England playing like there's nothing on the line.. which tbf there isn't but these blokes should at least display some hunger since this is their chance to break out. Limp display in the field today.

Has Hetmyer lost weight? One series ain't convincing me that he's back for real this time given his previous record but if he's put effort into his fitness then that's surely a positive sign of commitment.

It starts with the management staff who are responsible for the gameplans and such. No way I'd be bowling so many bowlers after taking 2 wickets very early on. The captain is inexperienced, I get that, but the lack of hunger as you've stated is clear and evident.

For example, Rashid should have continued bowling during the KC-Shai partnership, when he came back on, he got KC with a googly. Now, Rashid is back into the attack, and he strikes again.

England forcing David Willey out so they can do this instead is incomprehensibly stupid.

A genuinely decent cricketer and guy who England treated incredibly shabbily.

Yes, after the birth of his son, he's starting to take his fitness seriously. And no more immaturity - the colored hair.

ODI hundred number 17 for Shai!

He joins Desmond Haynes, joint-3rd most tons for the WI.

This is the 3rd list A century scored (by a BAJAN) in the region in the past 24 hours-- Justin Greaves (Windwards), Kevin Wickham (Barbados), and now Hope (WI)

 

[trundler]

Time to get a move on, Shai. 85sr ton isn't exactly a classic knock in this situation. Needs to finish well.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

COme on Thanos, give us a quickfire 50!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He's having a go now

 

[Silver Silva]

Crucial knock from Hope in holding the West Indies together once again , does he make an All time Windies XI ?

Comfortably, as a keeper.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Archer is not gonna bowl out his full quota of overs lol

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is the way to go on this wicket. Change up.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Perfect time to execute a yorker, Jofra

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Who is gonna be our finisher? Motie?

Holding Jofra back until the 47th over lulled Hope into a false sense of security.

Yes, 4D chess

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Whatever score we finish on, I think we left some runs out there, at least 20.
