Final - England v West Indies (3rd April)

[Cabinet96]

Good from Plunkett and Rashid.

 

[Howe_zat]

Really need wickets at this point. England were 4 down after 10 and continued losing wickets shortly after

 

[LightningStrike]

I was just wondering. Has a team ever lost a 20/20 game chasing and only losing 3 wickets?

 

[91Jmay]

That is a terrible start from Stokes.

Yeah need a wicket soon else the Windies will be well set for a bludgeon and they have 3 players who can win it on their own.

 

[fredfertang]

Should've brought Root back

 

[Howe_zat]

No Moeen here is a mistake I think.

 

[grecian]

Oh FFS surely after seeing Rash turn it sideways you've got to give Moeen a go?

Captains constantly forget the importance of wickets in this format. 10-12 an over is a walk in the park for set batsmen with firepower in the hut.

 

[LightningStrike]

Sam da Man has over 70% of the runs.

That's why there was a slip in for Rashid, right? Because he forgot about the wickets?

I think Morgan thinks Stokes is the one to bring him wickets though, he's not really our best container, I think so far the spinners would be a better bet.

Hope he realises Ben got away with that over a bit and that is the last we'll see of him.

 

[91Jmay]

Ali on for Stokes next over. Challenge Samuel's ego.

 

[LightningStrike]

I hate those god damned replay decisions.

I kind of feel how bad Indian fans must have felt after their semi.

 

[cnerd123]

I want to say that this is slowly slipping away from the West Indies, but for some reason that doesn't feel true...

Never feel bad if it's the right decision TBH, those two runs that we lost out on makes me feel worse, as that was rubbish. Stokes again, hope Morgan knows what he's doing.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Durham.

 

[LightningStrike]

I'm impressed with the WIndies in this chase. I did wonder if they had the discipline to keep their ego in check....but they are just getting close before hitting out and with wickets in hand I think they'll still win easily

 

[91Jmay]

Stokes here just bowling contain. Not sure we need that here. If they need 50 off the last 5 they are going to be massive favourites.

 

[Groundking]

I want to say that this is slowly slipping away from the West Indies, but for some reason that doesn't feel true...

If we bag Samuels in the next couple of overs I think it is, but I really don't understand the persistence here with stokes, he's not bowling well.

 

[fredfertang]

11 an over is a piece of piss for this lot
