This is getting tougher now for WI

Tells you all you nee to know about our batsmen's woes against slow bowlers. This wicket is a graveyard for them. Permaul, Motie, and fellow spin bowlers from Guyana eats them up. There's a reason we dominate FC cricket in the West Indies for the past decade or so.

The disappointment of that PNG fielder on letting that 4 go through was pretty telling. It means so much to these guys.

 

[Arachnodouche]

PNG putting up a good fight , you love to see it.

Isn't this a predominantly Aussie expression? Funny how it's crept into general usage, never heard it before Mark Howard said it tbh.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

crucial wicket or not

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

And there goes Powell.

Enter, our lower-middle order.

 

[TimAngas]

This could get interesting.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

definitely deviation and noise

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Love to see PnG spring an upset this tourney, but not so I want WIndies to lose their first match, don't want to kill the home side vibes.

Interesting right now though!

Looks like you cant immediately hit big on here. WI needed someone to anchor and others playing around him. Now they have to hit their way out which is becoming tough

Who starts a T20 match at 10 in the morning? Funny as hell

Those who only care for the Indian TV market.

Maybe Chase will prove useful in this chase.

 

[honestbharani]

That keeper has been the MVP so far.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Gonna be a nail biter

 

[Arachnodouche]

Damn Windies.

I love that the PNG side is made up of indigenous names and not SC-expats like so many of the associate sides.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

The keeper is a star

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Dre russell will suck here

Russell is going to muscle it regardless.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Misfield!

 

[Silver Silva]

The power of the West Indies might just bail them out here .
Incredibly, Romario Shepard is still to come ..
