World Cup: England v West Indies

[Simster]

TWO quick wickets required, or it's the fat lady singing while pulling the curtains on the plane home.

 

[Titanic]

Russell just CANED Luke Wright though extra for four.

West Indies 182-6 (33 overs)

62 required from 17 overs, 4 wickets in hand.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Oh right, what I meant was: We're going to get raped

 

[Mellotron]

The mentality that people have on this board, that if you comment on a live event in a positive way, then the team will fail miserably. Therefore you have to comment negatively as much as possible. *shrugs*

Oh. Why are you whispering?

 

[Titanic]

After drinks, Tremlett resumes. It's only wickets that count now for England.

 

[FlownWest]

If we don't take Sarwan soon we won't win this... the tailenders will just help him get WI across the line.

Come on England, don't bottle it now!

 

[Titanic]

A couple of aerial efforts... fall in the gaps.

West Indies 188-6 (34 overs)

56 required from 96 balls, 4 wickets in hand.

BALL CHANGE

 

[Titanic]

Tredwell returns. He has 3 wickets... can he get the one England need to get back on track ??

 

[Titanic]

Uneventful... unfortunately.

West Indies 192-6 (35 overs)

52 required from 90 balls, 4 wickets in hand.

 

[keaton]

Strauss' bowling changes are mental

 

[Zamoracomehome]

Tredwell: Do these figures flatter him a little? I've been watching all game and he's not bowled brilliantly, but got the wickets. The games he played in Australia he was VERY poor. Not to go too hard on him but also, he looks the most unfit out of all the players. Samit Patel is a more talented bowler if we're going for slightly chunkier players...

 

[Titanic]

Swann bowling, with a slip and short leg... a wicket is REQUIRED.

 

[Titanic]

Nothing doing for England.

West Indies 197-6 (36 overs)

47 required from 84 balls, 4 wickets in hand.

 

[Titanic]

Tredwell is THRASHED against the spin over long off for SIX.

200 comes up, and the 50 partnership.

Samit Patel has been told to get fit and he hasn't.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Amazing that Russell is going for these massive shots. They need than 3 an over.

 

[Zamoracomehome]

Samit Patel has been told to get fit and he hasn't.

Are you seriously telling me Tredwell is fit and trim?!

 

[Titanic]

Sarwan and Russell are in control.

West Indies 204-6 (37 overs)

40 required from 78 balls, 4 wickets in hand.

 

[Simster]

Game pretty much over now. 40 reqd with 4 wickets in hand. f***ing EASY for the Windies.

 

[Titanic]

Swann gets Russell, caught at LONG ON or is it??
