*Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

[SillyCowCorner1]

Despite the great start they are still below the required run rate. The only way I can see West Indies winning this is for Gayle to get 150+ and Hetmeyer and/or Holder to make substantial contributions.

Current Rate: 8.51
Req Rate: 8.3

8.51> 8.3

500th six as well.

30% of his runs in 6s throughout his entire career is some going!

Need a wicket in the next 5 or 10 desperately.

Are they behind now?

They were behind before that over.

This utter garbage from Stokes, I'm afraid. WI soon to be favourites unless we shift Gayle. May already be favourites actually.

 

[Tom Flint]

Bloody he'll Gayle

 

[91Jmay]

Lol this should be illegal. He will get 250 at this rate.

Yes I can count, thanks.

I wrote that before Stokes began the 18th over and was correct at the time of writing.

END OF OVER:17 | 7 Runs | WI: 141/2 (278 runs required from 33 overs, RR: 8.29, RRR: 8.42)

 

[91Jmay]

5 more overs of this Windies will be on top by a fair margin.

I read it a few balls later. I apologize.

Number 25 for Gayle. It's far away from over

 

[91Jmay]

All the wides as well, unravelling. Honestly a warning before the world cup might not be to bad, means Archer surely gets a shot. He could be brought in for anyone.

Stunning ton, now **** off.

 

[mr_mister]

Beautifully played Gayle. Loved the tandem celebration too

 

[wpdavid]

Rashid's bowled better than his figures suggest. I'm not entirely sure who Morgan can throw the ball to now. Moeen should be a serious option against two lefties. Can he be worse than most of what we've seen?

And how exactly does a professional bowler send down four wides in one over?

 

[91Jmay]

4 wides in an over a ****ing disgrace. Wheels well and truly coming off.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Helmet on bat handle should be iconic as this:

Not often you see a 10 ball over in international cricket!

Yeah, this has particularly annoyed me. We've known for ages that our bowling is nothing special and it's not really surprising that an in-form Gayle has pretty much feasted on it at will, but they've all shown very poor discipline too, which is just unacceptable from an international team

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

oH **** it's Bravo's turn now
