**Official** West Indies in England 2012

No Bres. Surprising for me; could just be a workload management thing I suppose.

 

[grecian]

Think that's only one change from our last t20 match, which was enforced. An unusual piece of constancy in this form.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bloody hell. Nasser looks like a nipper messing about with his dad's bat holding Pollard's willow. It's absolutely huge and he uses five (!) grips.

 

[weeman27bob]

I kind of wish Gayle didn't have a name which sounded like a noun.

 

[ajdude]

well goodnight fellas

 

[grecian]

Finn's really good in this form, can just bowl as fast as he likes. Think this is the side England want to start our World Cup defence with.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think Smith is lining Dernbach up here. That's three slowies on the run now. Reckon a fourth might travel...

EDIT: 87mph. Smart bowling, tbf.

 

[grecian]

Oh, I wish bowlers wouldn't make dives like that in meaningless matches, I know I'm hideously out of step with modern cricket, but it just grates.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Chris who? Fine display of sustained hitting from Smith.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

160 on the cards?

 

[Stumpcam]

160 on the cards?

Easily if Dernbach keeps serving up 'hit me' balls.

 

[Stumpcam]

Fantastic batting/slogging, but Dernbach?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bravo & Pollard taking this away from England.

Poor stuff from Dernbach; def overdoing the slow stuff.

& 50 for Bravo. Powerful hitting.

How does Dernbach get a game? He was balls and arse when I saw him in the Big Bash last season. Doesn't look to have improved.

Specialist death bowler, allegedly.

This is toilet tho.

 

[Pothas]

Jade is just so ****.

Still that was great fun at the end, just what you want from twenty20.

"Here's AJ with a pun about to make you wince/grin depending on persuasion: "If I could Dernbach time...""

boom, stole that from dernbach's stint with the stars hehe

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Bopara at 3 when needing 9 an over hmm

 

[social]

Dont get why teams bat Pollard so far down the in the order in T20

IMO, they're better off batting him higher higher up as a few more overs of him = almost guaranteed win

 

[Stumpcam]

THAT'S how to pull a six, Mr Kieswetter!
